What is he doing during the lock-out? Why is he not playing in Europe right now?
He didn't have the chance to play in the Eurobasket so I thought it would have been a wise choice to stay like Valanciunas did

since Randolph has been a pro at the highest level longer than Vesely...


Vesely played in good professional club in Europe and played big minutes, 3years in partizan and in all three he also played in Euroleague(no doubt highest stage outside of NBA), including Final Four last year.

Randolph played in high-school and then mostly in the garbage time in the NBA.

I meant more exp coming in anyways

He's not even the best 6'11+ athlete on his own team.

Yea seems like a nice wingman for Wall, anyways Wizards have some nice size and athleticism, would be funny to see Vesely-Yi-McGee frontcourt :lol:

I wonder if Yi and McGee gonna make any progress this year

Lets hope so. I was pretty high on the Wall-Mcgee combo coming into last season, and i thought with our athletes, we'd be running in the open court at will and be one of the most exciting teams in the league. Unfortunately, it's hard getting out and running the open court game when you have a team incapable of getting stops or a front court allergic to rebounding. :(

This. I'd like to know what his body fat is because he looks like he can seriously challenge Dwight in the vertical department.

Yeah, he was measured at a personal workout that many teams attended. I know he measured 6'11" w/o shoes (which should be about 7' w/ shoes), but I don't believe any other measurements were released.

Vesely has a good start, but he needs another 20000 women to compare athletically to Wilt.

Wilt Chamberlain
David Robinson
Dwight Howard
Artis Gilmore
Shaquille O'Neal
Hakeem Olajuwon
Kevin Garnett
Darryl Dawkins
there's probably many more that weren't that great that I can't think of right now.

Even if he's slept with 50-100, it still isn't anywhere close to the number of women Wilt supposedly slept with lol.

:noway: at this thread. Can't the guy at least play a single NBA game before being called the best 6'11 athlete?
