Are we all underestimating Vonleh?

[EvanZ]

Vonleh has a 9' reach and 11'7" no-step vert. He only needs to jump 12" to touch the rim.

I'll tell you this. With 12" hands, 9" reach, and 37" vert, I will be shocked if Vonleh is a "below the rim" player in the NBA. Absolutely shocked.

Watch the video here around the 1:00 mark where Vonleh looks like he's dunking one-handed on a nerf basket. It's ridiculous.

He was a below the rim player in college. What make you think that will change against bigger, stronger, and better defenders in the NBA?

And again, that combine vert measurement is irreverent. He's not capable of jumping that high in actual game situations.

Uh. Did you watch that video? Watch the video buddy. Then tell me he can't get above the rim.

Combine his size, hands, ability to stretch the floor, and work ethic...I said before he should be the #2 pick after Embiid. Well, now he's the #1 pick in my opinion.

Just sit back and remember I told you so.

14:00 onward shows a lot of Vonleh being unable to jump.

If a guy can jump 37 inches into the air, but it takes him forever to be able to actually jump, he's not a leaper.

You can keep watching old video or watch newer video. Your choice. There's a difference between unable to do something and not doing it.
