    He should probably consult Sly.

    His base is so strong I think you could start him at center.

    I look forward to
    I think they both are bigs that play under the rim..that's one. Vonleh has 3pt range..that's another..wingspan and lower core strength..that's another..I think we'll see more as we go and hopefully Noah will be a quick study..so far, so good

    I kinda think Z-Bo was heavy from bottom of the ass up, Vonleh from top of the ass down.

    Have fun with your jokes, assholes. :smiley-195517897341

    (Trying to lob you all an easy one, like Mrs. HCP.)

    I'm just trying to show another way those two dudes are complete opposites.

    Keep working your core, and one day, too, Tunchi might like your OP.

    I work my core everyday (with some wine).

    And then I spend my time once per year working off the rest of the year.

    Vonleh is the reason Myers needs to be filler in a trade.

    And I was really rooting for Myers to succeed. I just can't see it anymore. Luckily, vonleh is showing sparks of life.

    Yup; Vonleh's defense now is already above Meyers's ceiling.

    Von doing very good job since starting but what I have seen lately he getting more aggressive on offense end maybe not making everything but that all right. Last night you can see him putting all together.

    You never know how a 20 year old will turn out in the NBA, but he sure seems to have all the tools to be a good one. I compare him more to Thomas Robinson than Leonard, and even though TRob had some good games (and highlights) , Vonleh plays with more control. I am not worried that he will turn it over like I was every time TRob had the ball away from the basket. Once he gets more consistent with his mid range shot, his minutes will soar

    Hate to jinx it but right now I think he can be the PF of the future.

    and Vonleh will be a 3 point shooter, too.

    He showed he could shoot it in Summer League but personally I am fine if he doesn't do it much for a few more years. Stay in the paint and learn some more moves.

    Well he'll never be able to hit "swish3s" like Leonard can. Without a steady diet of swish3s, his threes will lack the necessary swish to make them into a proper swish3.
