Found this 15 min video that's a scouting report with highlights. I really enjoyed who ever did the video and I must say I believe we have drafted a great PF for years to come. If Vonleh can produce this year I could see us being at least a top 3 team in the east considering we will be signing one big FA and maybe a decent vet for the bench.

Does he block shots? It would be awesome to have an Ibaka type rim protector beside Al.

Noah isn't much Ibaka.

He's more Bosh and Garnett-ish. And offensive PF who can block shots.

Love the pick. That kid has the frame of an all star PF. Wait till he fills out and adds another 20 pounds. Will be a monster in the paint.

I'm not a big fan of comparisons but I view him as an Ibaka meets Bosh

Don't see that. He's pretty much just Bosh.

Zod, we need an upgrade on the Hornets thread!!!!!! Remodel.

No more pinstripes. Needs a better teal.

Draft express is $$$$$$$. Nothing better than that.

Working on it

His physique and swatting ability is what made me think of it plus a lot of people have mentioned it too.

 

Maybe even a little Favors and Mashburn in there too.

So who starts, Zeller or Vonleh?

I know the kid can play defense and block shots. I just don't see much Ibaka in him. If you're just talking purely on shot blocking then obviously yes, but in depth then no.

He's the closest thing to Chris Bosh since Chris Bosh. And offensive PF who can shoot the ball and very similar kind of defense to Bosh, not Ibaka.

If his defense gets better then he could be Garnett. Atm, his potential is Bosh. Could very well be Aldridge.

Zeller will get the nod, but it'll be Vonleh's job by mid season.

I agree for the most part especially with the bold if he comes to his full potential.  I'll stop though before I get too ahead of myself haha

Yall don't think Zeller could have a break out year?  He was improving late last season.  What if he does start and shows out?  Being the 4th overall pick, I don't want to regulate him as a role player just yet.  It will be interesting to see the competition between former Indiana players.

How awesome is this pic!?!?!? 

 

Makes me feel old though to consider that he was 6 years old when teh Hornets last played in Charlotte.
