    I think he looks like Ralph Sampson's head on Otis Thorpe's Trunk with Charles Oakley's legs. A guy could do worse.

    He looks more like Ralph Sampson than he does Olajuwon

    then coupled with a Brandon Ingram and Jayson Tatum could be a contending team in a few years

    He looks like Jermaine Oneal and Terry Porter had a love child

    Hopefully Vonleh isnt just a better Dante Cunningham.. Hes nice but I dont see much a difference between those two than say he resembles a Chris Bosh who a lot of ppl say

    Yeah, I don't get the comparison either. Donte was an undersized hustle guy. Vonleh is taller, longer, and much bigger--and can shoot much better.

    Naw...

    Futuristically he's a solid 15-19 and 10 guy, IMO.
    Has Daunte averaged anything above 5 in his career?

    My comparisons
    Plumlee = Bill Laimbeer
    Leonard = James Edwards
    Vonleh = Dennis Rodman
    CJ = Joe Dumars
    Dame = Isiah Thomas

    We win the 1990 championship. Congrats to Neil and all involved

    Vonleh reminds me a little of Lloyd Neal, but most of you are probably too young to remember him.

    Neal was money with his jumper around the free throw line.

    Loved that Pistons team but Meyers is always going to be Tom Chambers to me

    God bless us "old" guys and our institutional memories. The NBA started long before Michael Jordan popped outta his mama, even though so many fans today don't get that. Great comparisons! We can only hope Vonleh can bang like Lloyd and that Legend can shoot (and be an on court asshole) like Chambers.

    Dante Cunningham was just the opposite. Too thin at 6-8 to be a hustle player, but a thinking cerebral PF with an excellent smooth 15-footer.

    Who's our John Salley and Microwave and Larry Johnson (formerly Adrian Dantley (formerly Kelly Tripucka))?

    Chambers often dribbled to the basket through traffic. Leonard will never do that. Right from the start of his career, Chambers had a complete game inside and out, while Leonard is a gimmick so far, just there to trick the defender.

    Did you see that practice where Leonard went from top of the three and dunked on 3 players? He can do it, but I agree probably not in real games.

    I thought all basketball players were there trying to trick the defender? You gotta admit, it's a damned good gimmick!
