Why the fug is Vonleh not playing?

Clifford won't give a rookie minutes who missed training camp and preseason.  It's just not going to happen, even though we all want to see him thrown in there.  I guess the confidence of a young player is something you really have to be careful with in the NBA.

Should he play a huge role right now, no. But if he is healthy he should be getting the 10 to 15 minutes given to Maxiell right now. Jason offers nothing while on the floor. At least Vonleh could use his athleticism to help on the boards.

When we got to see him in Summer League, you could see that the talent is there but he's currently too small weight wise and not quite strong enough yet.  He's the type of player that will take some time to develop but I believe we will have a solid young player in the coming years.

Clifford has said in the past that Noah is healthy but since he missed so much time and a rookie he has alot of catching up and learning to do. they are putting him in situations to succeed due to his age and they don't want to blow his confidence.

I expect his game minutes will improve once he shows "in practice" that he is ready to handle regular game minutes. Not really thinking he will be ready until the last 25% of the season.

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
