....ok
but can he go right, even look like he can shoot, play any kind of defense, or NOT turn into a black hole once he gets the ball low?
dude goes hard on a tank team. you know what that makes him? biyombo with no defense
i don't think he'll be like forever but he's straight limited man.... and if you look at how those Laker GOATs can help a gifted dumbass like Bynum turn the corner then you'd like to believe that they could do the same with Vonleh. But the Lakers didn't want a project. They wanted a guy who could contribute. Now the rebuild is looking a bit longer than they realized and Randle is just as much of a project (because rebounding won't keep him on the floor of a team looking to actually win games when he's shyt on both offense and defense).
Vonleh just has to figure it out. Randle just has to grow longer arms for defense, learn how to dribble better than high school kid, and not just get an NBA form but figure out how to do anything on the offensive end that isn't charge bait.
The better project is Vonleh, who's also younger (youngest in the draft last year). The better player is Nance for the time being too.
This'll be the thread I bump so
