Vonleh observation / concern

Watching this summer league game and it's the first full game i've watched of Vonleh. 

 

He has a great frame, athletic, and pretty coordinated but something just seems off. And I am gonna have to put this on instincts. Just seems a bit slow in reacting. This goes for offense and defense. Which is probably why he didn't do a bit better at IU. 

 

Def not a fast twitch guy compared to the Davis kid out there who was making plays all over. 

 

Can instincts and reaction be improved? I am not sure on this. He is young so I am hoping I am either dead wrong or if I am right he is able to develop / improve this over his career, preferably sooner than later.

He's a project... simple as that.

I was telling people that this draft was not as great as people were making it out to be. Outside of Parker Wiggins, and possibly Exum there are a lot of project type players in this draft.

real funny because he was top 5 material. I don't think you are a good talent evaluater.

I am not talking about his stat line / performance in one summer league game. 

 

He just looks slow (reaction wise) and sluggish to me out on the court. 

 

I have a feeling this is how he appears in every game regardless if he scored 2 points or 18. 

 

I could be wrong, and for the record I hope I am.

Exum is a project as well, he can't shoot worth diddly. He can definitely drive to the rim though.

      Another Win

      Kalkbrenner and Sion James received regular contracts and not two ways, so the Hornets have some work to do to cut the roster size down.

      Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
