Vonleh is a Bust

For Vonleh, I think it comes down to his in-game quickness. If he can play fast and if he can slash to the rim he becomes a much more valuable player. He's deceptively quick, I think. But I'd really like to see Gordon, Randle and Vonleh go at each other in a workout.

You look at how the Spurs dismantled OKC, and they did it by having 4 or 5 shooters on the floor. They had phenomenal spacing that OKC couldn't cover, and it resulted in guys like Boris Diaw and Tiago Splitter getting uncontested layups. A line-up with Burke, Kanter and Vonleh spreading the floor and Burks and Hayward attacking the seams would be very hard to stop.

Teams now are playing 3-guard line-ups and other small-ball lineups because they want more guys on the floor who can space the floor AND beat their defender off the dribble. A player who can do both of those things is valuable.
 
Hard to say about this kid He was not used right at Indiana and he is young for his age. Could becoe a solid player or could becoe nothing but a backup like that scrub Kanter.

Just as long as nobody in that group shoots a jump shot..:)
