    Vonleh is taking advantage of a small team with no shot blocking. Really hard to evaluate his offense in a game like this.

    Uhh.. Where? Instead of who? We have too many guys that deserve minutes as is. Layman is not going to be able to compete at an actual NBA level right away.

    Vonleh will become a good offensive player once he develops a consistent jumper. There's no way big men can defend his jumper and stay in front of his jumper. He's good when he's going downhill, he just tries to crossover guys too much because they sag.

    I wish we could combine give Vonleh Meyers shooting touch and height.

    The fact that he's taking advantage of it is promising.

    I love the fact there is good communication in this organization. It's obvious that Dame and CJ talk A LOT. That's so important. I can't think of a team that needs to drown out preconceived notions surrounding the future imite the Blazers.

    Same with Layman. If he had an 'average' neck, he'd be closer to 6'7".

    Vonleh role, 10 mpg or so. He's got a sneaky good first step. And i like that he tries to dunk everything.

    Good looking stroke too.

    Sure, you can look at him like that. Or you can think of him as a 6'4" Kevin Love. Without the shot.

    Translation: the team will be decimated by injuries.

    Maybe CJ will tell us about a late night hookup in the Players Tribune?

    ROFL I was actually thinking the same thing. Seemed like she was kinda thirsty for some of that MIP.

    I doubt his first step will be as effective in an NBA game, and I'm sure his defense won't be good enough either.

    I'll re-watch it, but Dame seemed almost annoyed at the money Crabbe got. Asked about it he said "I guess you have to be happy for them" but didn't come off great when asked....anyone get that?
