Chadfordinsider: Said another "Vonleh's got elite physical tools and is very skilled. He should be in the same group with Wiggins, Embiid, Parker & Exum"

He's killing it in workouts.

Thanks for the info. I sure would feel better about this if Woj was saying it

Haven't seen him play but he's a top 10 pick, would take at least Barton or T-Rob to get such pick.
If we trade into the draft, I would rather get to 20 where there are players I like, or trade something minimal for a 2nd rounder.

It would take a lot more than Robinson or Barton to get anywhere close to the top 10

Wonder how much of this is true and how much is smoke to get a top rated guy to drop.

I still don't get why Marcus Smart is not ranked higher. That guy is going to be a monster.

Terrible shot selection, an ugly shot with a tendency to shot from downtown to early and too often, plus physical altercations with fans. That would be why.

Because he's poison.
 
He more I hear about Noah the more I understand why Neil went out of his way to interview him.

Teams are raving everywhere he's been. He's not a workout warrior but his feel for the game and IQ/approach sounds very similar to Brandon Roy. "A very cerebral player."

He could crack into the top-3. Philly is very high on him and I can see them picking him 3rd if CLE chooses Wiggins.

Honestly, Chad Ford's opinion means very little to me. It would be like quoting Zags, except Zags is probably better than Ford.

Let's not forget, it was Ford who basically championed Darko. He was one of the main supporters of the Euro craze in the early 2000's.
 
His floor is Terrence Jones but his upside is exciting.

With no pick they interviewed him anyways.

Kristaps Porzingis?
 
CJ blossomed this year. Noah is younger, and like CJ, missed his first training camp. It may sound like a trivial thing, but if you don't believe that this really sets a rookie behind, you're sadly mistaken.
 
Nice bump. I now remember all the glowing reviews about him.

Just don't fall in love with a guy that Olshey didn't even talk about in his trade announcement.

Yes, that's right: it would take a young talent with the upside of T-Rob to get a young talent with the upside of Vonleh.
 
I'm not in love with Noah. I'm sure it's 50/50 he's gone. But I refuse to shit my pants over this deal. At the moment, it's clear both fan bases and media are mixed. Good sign it's a reasonable deal with ways. Blazers at least acquired more potential and cap room out of the deal. If LA is leaving, we have a potential PF. I think you're failing to see the bigger picture, personally.

Don't hate that people fell out of love with Batum or that he couldn't stay healthy or produce on all that promise. He may blossom now, but it's clear it wasn't going to happen here. Rather see him leave and blossom than be a shell of his potential.
 
Who in the top 10 would be interested in Vonleh? You could make a case for a lot of them
 
Someone is having a meltdown reminiscent of blaze when we took lillard

This is a deal to get the star. I don't think we will be signing that third star. 1 or both the pieces will be used to grab that third star

MJ has always loved him. But I can't see him doing an 180 with the landing in Charlotte and finally meeting his potential. I think inconsistancy will remain...for now.

Agreed. Which makes it a palatable move for the Blazers, and as a Batum supporter.
 
Vonleh is a good enough player for the rotation, I think. If Lamarcus leaves we have Vonleh/Meyers/Gee rotation at PF.

Interesting that you have the 6/6" 225 Gee at PF.
I can see that as an emergency plan, but is he even on our roster?

Barton and T-Rob could get you an Arron Afflalo type player, but to get this guy, I think we'd need to trade Nic Batum.
