Oh we're aware. You've been flip-flopping on everybody for months.

Hey, I ain't running for office.

Hey, I ain't running for office.

I'm malleable. I mean, I really want the Jazz to draft the best players, so being dazzled by a prospect isn't the final word. And neither is being underwhelmed either. I keep looking and looking and flipping and flopping until I find a comfortable place to settle.

And I prefer this to blanket, hyperbolic statements borrowed from the herd (this is not directed at you, Hantlers).

In all seriousness, can someone please explain to me what the difference is between JV and Shawn Bradley? I haven't watched the tape myself, but from the pluses and minuses that people have mentioned in this thread that's seriously what he is seeming like to me.

JV isn't an athletic freak but he moves twice as well as Shawn Bradley Molasses did. You can find countless clips of Bradley getting posterized because he was just so slow as a help defender. Still Bradley was a talented shot blocker, averaging 3.5 in his prime. Also Bradley was a 60% FT shooter coming in, JV would be 90% entering the league, quite a bit more of offensive potential due to that and his speed. JV gets an incredible amount of alley oops, you don't get those if you're slow with lead feet.
