    Anyone who doesn't see the potential from vonleh is fucking blind.

    Connaughton is a guard that can't dribble, pass, or consistently shoot.

    It sickens me. The Spurs annoy me so fucking much.

    Spurs make their threes. We pretty much don't.

    Vonleh looks really good against SL talent, his problem is the speed of actual NBA games. If he can get past that we may have a premier big in 3 or so years.

    Vonleh is one of those guys that looks smaller than he is to me.. is it just me? He does not look like a 6'10" guy. More like 6'8"

    Vonleh could be a good passer. He's already solid for how much he looks down when he dribbles.

    Honestly. Pat quiting cowhide ball isn't a big deal. They draft 40 guys a season! Half of them don't sign..... this is not the equivalent of the Blazers losing Jordan.

    I don't see it. He's taller than Layman.

    Someone needs to tell NBA refs about the "pulling the chair" technique. It's like they don't understand that you don't have to let someone lean on you.

    I don't see any potential in Connaughton to become a rotation player in the NBA.

    Sadly, that is true right now. Nice moves and '3' by Vonleh. Connaughton keeps shooting (and missing) so I'm not getting to see as much of Vonleh and Montero as I'd like.

    Yeah. I don't see any skills in Connaughton other than athleticism that really stand out. He might be better moving on. Dude keeps setting up 3s.

    I just looked up their draft measurements and they were both exactly 6'8" without shoes.
