Jarred Vanderbilt Discussion: The Vandalorian

The guy is a monster

 

i'm told he's unplayable.

 

Trade filler at best

 

What a game. There's really nothing else to say right?
+30 Vs -21 by Prince.

Hopefully it was the last straw

 

i will say that some matchups favor vando more, and clearly gs is one of them. he can be more of a threat to score in the paint on offense because they play so small. he just needs to keep building experience and confidence in scoring from the dunker spot and off weak to strong flashes against bigs, etc. i've seen him do it in spurts, but it needs to be bread and butter to the point where opposing defenses at least feel like they need to find him around the painted area and make contact. there are different ways to create space (other than making threes).

 

Especially with LeBron out of his mind hitting guys with insane passes if there’s the tiniest of openings and they are open. Jarred handled one bounced bullet around his knees. The Clippers game same thing from AR laser threading a needle to him.

 

He needs to do what Aaron Gordon does. Watch his tape relentlessly until he figures it out. He does that and he has a long wealthy career in the NBA

 

that's a tall order, as gordon is both substantially stronger/larger in frame and has a much better overall skillset. i think people forget that before he went to denver, he was a point-forward type in the kirilenko mold. but yeah, your basic point about how gordon finds his easy buckets is a good one.

 

Hater

 

it's not even an insult to prince. and it's not like we can't start prince or rui if some team schemes him out of the game in the playoffs, just like we did last year.

same way i feel about dlo--if he s***s the bed again, just make sure you have someone you feel comfortable putting in his place. we have that with vando, and ham has out-thought himself here. and again, this started in camp when he didn't just declare that the unit that finished last year was going to be given the chance to start this one. i questioned that at the time, and i question it even more now. vando's injury became an excuse, but once he was healthy, it was the same thing.

 

If Ham doesn't start Vando he is just asking to be fired. I begin to think he is actually getting paid under the table by the C Bags!!!!! F'ing do the right thing Ham or get fired. You are NOT losing the fans dude, you lost them!! Get your act together!! Listen, we are right, you are wrong!!!

 

I'll say it one more time for the cheap seats:

f***. THIS. CLOWN.

Can't wait till we get Steven Adams one day (I'm wish casting this till it happens) and he cracks this j****** open when setting a screen.

 

H-Town hustle isn't going to save the defense all by himself!

 

I miss having guys like Ron Artest around for this specific purpose. That play was extremely dirty and dangerous and shame on the refs for not calling this a flagrant.

 

Bummer he got hurt. His defensive energy and pass disruption was really the engine to that first quarter.


Those 3s were fun.



Hope he doesn't miss any time. We need him.

 

He was awesome before he got hurt. I mean legit holy s*** this guy is everywhere on both and defense. Dare I say Scottie Pippenesque.

Glad the X-rays were ok but clearly a soft tissue issue which X-rays are kind of useless for

 

He does remind me of Pippen a bit when he's hitting those 3's... crazy athletic and he's a few steps ahead of where a pass is about to go. If only he could stay healthy...........
