Vonleh observation / concern

[MedellinHeel]

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.

It's one summer league game.  No doubt he didn't look all that great out there tonight, but...

 

He's a great athlete.  It's a new kind of game for him.  Give him time.

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.

It's one game. I say we keep him around a little longer. Keep in mind he is a lot younger than Josh Davis and will continue to improve the next few years. You can see some real potential there already.

Its the rims.

[SuperJTheGreat]

But then again he was ass doing everything so it might be him

[carolina-chuck]

It's one summer league!

If you guys are willing to give MKG 5 years, please give Vonleh 3 yrs.

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

[SuperJTheGreat]

If 8789 says no. Its probably the right thing to do.

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.

That doesn't mean you aren't a project. A lot of big men are picked on potential (Embiid, Gordon, Vonleh, Noel).

Honestly, I don't even think you should be able to access the internet. That's how ridiculous some of your comments are.

[WOW!!]

18 years old in his 1st pro game...........so get a grip.
