Won't let me upload the tweet for some odd reason, but its a comparison of Hairston and Vonlehs hands.

Hope this kid really means it when he says he's willing to learn. He has the opportunity to learn from Big Al and Patrick Ewing. Don't get no better than that as a rookie on a playoff team.

Assuming McRoberts comes back (which I think he will), I think McBob starts short-term, but by the end of the season, we'll be seeing Vonleh getting the starts. At this point, I want Zeller and Hendo so that we get minutes for the guys we drafted.

I'm a Magic Fan..... but just stopping in to congratulate you'll on a pretty impressive draft. You'll definitely got some great talent and value.... but at the same time those talents fill in the gaps that you'll have! Vonleh and Hairston will do you'll very well. Team Name change is coinciding with your new era! Good luck next year.

actually quite insightful, detailed, and fair-minded critique of vonleh from the utah jazz' radio analyst. good, in-depth look at some things he does well, and things he doesn't do as well.

Does anyone think its a realistic possibility that if Zeller bulks up he could player center?

The more he bulk up the more he'll lose the only thing he has going for him, which is 'agility for his height'

If he really can hit NBA threes, Clifford will love him

Wouldn't he be able to play more like he did in college? he obviously won't be a very good stretch 4. but maybe he could become a good back to the basket 5 if he learns from big al

He was pretty nifty in the post in Indiana

besides just look at the guy, all he needs is some weight then he'll be a stud in the post

I love our new digs, it feels so good to have the teal and purple back in Charlotte.

I think he would have a hard time getting shots off. His short arms will hurt him in the post.

He shows pretty good handles for a big guy in those clips, even on the plays where something goes wrong.

He was a 6'5 guard in high school until he hit a big time growth spurt. He definitely has some handles.

Thread title?
