    He's Shane Battier level.

    DraftExpress just expanded their entry on Vezenkov.

    According to my anonymous source, if the translation is correct, Venzenkov’s ball deflating skills are very raw.

    The Blazers must not be too high on G. Lucas -- their profile comparison: Orien Greene.

    Ouch.

    This article from NBADraft.net '2015 Adidas Eurocamp: Day 1 Recap' also wasn't too high on George Lucas De Paula -

    Vezenkov looks Luke Babbitt in the video. Same size, lefty......
    He could very well end up being better than Luke, but we have our stretch 4.
    He just not fill a need IMO.

    It's true that you couldn't really play him and Leonard at the same time (without being killed). He would probably work best in Memphis, as they have kind of a unique style.

    I think he would be good in Philly too as they need a floor spacer really bad but they already have Saric.

    Neil is going to earn his money this summer for sure. He needs to come through for us. I have gone on record as liking Delon based on our need for D, and how he would fit with CJ and Dame, but damn there are some other intriguing option out there and Looney is one of them. UCLA player often bloom in the NBA after their 1-2 year college careers. They are often highly rated out of HS. Looney is no exception.

    I'm not sold on Looney. He reminds me of Darius Miles.

    A Darius Miles without the injuries, the off court issues, and the pouting on the court sounds pretty good to me. To be honest I am not completely convinced he is our best option, but I like his 7'1" wing span and his athletic ability. With all the stretch 4's around it would be nice to have someone with his ability to defend them on the perimeter. He can guard a couple of positions. I would not be pissed if they called his name at 23. But he does come with a risk since he is only 19 and still needs to improve his shot.

    Darius Miles had a lot of talent. If Looney isn't an idiot. Could be a great pick.

    Still, he should only be taken if LA tells Neil he is gone.
