The earlier he returns, the less likely it is that he's ready. Considering how Dirk was struggling to get it going again after a mere knee sprain and a nine-game absence, I can only imagine how rusty Caron and his jumper would have to be after four months of rehabilitation due to a much more serious injury. Peja is another example, and he's only missed two months.
I hope that we don't have to get a somewhat ready Caron back into the rotation in April to have a shot at a good playoff run. He may certainly help, but he could just as well be a liability on his way back to the old Butler.

See Jameer Nelson in the 09 Finals...I don't think he should have played in that Finals and you could tell he wasn't the same player before his injury and I think it hurt the Magic.
