What other big man has this combination of COORDINATION, speed, agility, and vertical leap?

None.

Freak.

Heard of a guy named Kevin Garnett? Now HE was a freak athlete for his size.

Vesely has pretty amazing potential. He's really a 6"11 SG.

Wtf he's 6'11? Thought he 'was only 6'8-6'9.

Garnett is closer to 7'1 than to 6'11.

Can't shoot. More of a taller aggressive Kirilenko, without some of Ak's smarts.

That video didn't include this dunk. It's definitely because of the angle of the camera, but it looks like his head is above the rim. The kid is smooth. Sky's the limit.

Kirilenko? Vesely is below average defender. Calling him AK74 is like saying griffin will be bill rusell.

Kevin Garnett indeed. With the bonus he was even longer.

Who else? Jonathan Bender, maybe.

This is the best Jan Vesely mix I've ever seen!

Good call on Drob.

As a Wizards fan, i like Jan a lot. Honestly i wasn't all that high on him on draft day (i was hoping either Kanter or Valanciunus would fall to us). But he seems like great guy, and from everything i've heard about him he's a really hard worker and is very coachable. And he obviously has some potential with that size and athleticism. If he can get stronger and improve his jumper, he'll be a player in this league. At worst, even if he doesn't pan out, with his work ethic at least he'll make Andray and Javale work for their spots and let them know that their starting spots aren't safe if they continue to be lazy on and off the court.

Looks very unimpressive to me. Very easy to to smash it against competition several notches below NBA. Watching the Jordan Bull's 2nd 3-peat teams, I've seen Bill Wennigton with reverse dunk put backs on stars 2-3 times, it doesn't mean jack.

Can he do anything besides making wide open dunks?
