Him and Cody playing together should be interesting to see though.
I don't think he'll be as raw as he appear in some of the footage. With his skill sets, in the NBA a lot will open up for him. In his rookie year off the bench, all he'll have to do is just nail wide open 15-20 foot jump shot attempts, rebound, and try to alter every shot that come near the paint
going by that video help defense seems to be a weakness of his, lacks experience on when to help.
he also got bullied out of position in college, he will suffer worse in the NBA.
there is some definite growth required by vonleh. give him time before you expect him to be a regular NBA contributor.
I'll give him until the middle of his 2nd season to really show that he's ready to be a certified starter, but I think he'll be ready to contribute in sparse minutes (20-23 minutes per game) right away as a rookie to the tune of somewhere between 9-11 points per game, 5-7 rebounds per game, and 1 block per game in that limited time as a rookie, and although I doubt it I wouldn't be surprised if he's starting by the end of the season (maybe due to injury in depth)
So, here's my prediction of his rookie stats: 10 points, 6 rebounds, and 1 block in 21 minutes per game
