    Vonleh should be making some mistakes. Don't learn, don't want him to be too conservative.

    Vonleh is low key a savage, people going to be surprised in a few years, maybe even sooner.

    The fact that there are no redflags, is a red flag.

    I heard Dame's influence on Vonleh has been strong, and Vonleh now drinks like a fish.

    He's never been able to polish off a six pack in 15 minutes before, so I guess that counts for something.

    Who's going to be surprised? Not me. I think most of us have high hopes for Mr. Vonleh.

    But of course, every player has his haters. I wonder who Noah's are?

    Rich Cho? I mean, if you're willing to dump the guy so quickly after his rookie year for one year of Batum (while also dumping Hendo, who is a solid role player).......

    This is a good point that Dave on BlazersEdge brought up. It will be hard to be "surprised" by the youngest guys because of our expectations. He felt like Kaman and Henderson might be the surprises because we aren't expecting as much.

    So Vonleh has more BBIQ than Thomas Robinson, Will the Thrill, and Meyers Leonard combined. Maybe we'll keep him.
