Jarred Vanderbilt Discussion: The Vandalorian

if he starts drilling that open corner three, good night.

 

WOOOO!!!

 

Need this guy back and like others have said...our entire season changes if he hits that corner 3.

 

i saw that vid of him talking to lebron before last night's game, and man, he does look like he grew...

 

Well, imagine him and Cam both becoming 35% shooters from 3? Then I'd be fine starting both and we'd be rolling over the league.

 

Lol..We could live with 30% from both too!

 

So LBJ is listed 6’9” everywhere and Vando 6’8” same. Didn’t catch the conversation you’re referring to. What did it look like to you …. now? Inquiring minds …..

 

looked to me like vando was 2 inches taller. but could have been angle. i think it was in the lebron thread.

that might get you there. again, it's a literal long shot (in terms of photography), but vando looks taller.

 

Lol..yeah I've been thinking lately, that Jarred is about 1/2 inch taller than Lebron myself. But my son says that it's the shoes he's wearing. He says that young guys wearing lifts, is a real thing. He also shocked me with..a lot of these long dreds that you see the kids wearing today, are actually extensions!

 

Young 6’8” professional BB player would think he needs to look taller off the court? Odd if true.

 

Jeezus long shot or not “IF” they were standing on the same surface in that video Jarred looks 3-4” taller! Guess we’ll finally know when he’s back on the court.

 

Doh... Bron is shrinking. Due to old age.

 

i thought i read somewhere this summer that he grew, but i was like...nah, that doesn't happen at that age.

 

It would be extremely odd to grow at that age.
The thing with Vando against playoff level defenses it was more than his jumpshot that caused the Lakers offense trouble when he played. At the dunker spot, he had difficulty finishing against size and then as a roll man, he doesn't have great hands so fumbled a lot of passes. Compare to Aaron Gordon whose 3 points is better than Vando but teams will give it to him: however in the dunker spot or as a roll man he's got a lot of gravity.

Anyways what I'm getting at is if he has grown and that let's him be a better finisher, he only needs to have a marginal rather then huge improvement in his 3pt shooting to make it that he can see big minutes in the playoffs

 

He should play center then

 

how close is close? he was "ramping up" 2 weeks ago, we need better training staff, Vincent season looking lost too

 

KH …. have you no appreciation for how long it must take for a 6’11” basket ball player who plays like Vando to “safely” come back from heel bursitis?
