Vonleh observation / concern

[SuperJTheGreat]

Kid is 18 years old and is already light years ahead of Bismack. Oh and btw Noah is really 18 unlike Bismack who lied on his birth certificate.

Exum is a project as well, he can't shoot worth diddly. He can definitely drive to the rim though.

He has the tools to come in and be a good player right away though. He has flaws (as does every rookie) that he needs to correct, but his aren't as substantial as some of the other players in the draft.

But hey he got 6 rebounds ;)

18 years old in his 1st pro game...........so get a grip.

 

I had concerns over his stat line at IU. Never watched a full game so didn't know what to pin it on or what might be the issue. 

 

Now having seen him play, it's the first thing that comes to mind. 

 

Instincts and twitch are something people just have. Not really sure you can throw it off by simply saying 1st game ect.

I posted this in game thread, but keep in mind he should just be finishing up his senior year in high school. He reclassified early to go to Indiana a year early

He's REALLY young, so this isn't a surprise. The game will slow down for him as he develops.

[WOW!!]

Are you going to make a observation and concern thread about the other rookie????????

Just a question.

Who are some examples of players (bigs) who were slow, sluggish, and lacked instincts that developed them later?

 

I am not sure this is something that develops like post moves, jumpers, handles, IQ, etc.

His stat line at IU was fine, 11 points, 9 rebounds, over 1bpg and nearly 1spg in 26.5 mpg.

What about the 2-16 shooting of the other rookie.

"Instincts" get better the better you know the game. Fast twitch muscles are also something you can target and improve, not that I'm convinced it's a problem. He's 18, his muscles are still developing and he's still green to the game. I don't see where the concern is unless you were expecting immediate production, which nobody should have been.

No, because to me he was just OFF and taking some bad shots. Not that he was slow / sluggish out there and lack basketball instincts. 

 

I know PJ can light up a gym on any given night.

How was PJ?
