Meyers Leonard >>>> Jonas Valanciunas

Is this Meyers really that good? I'm surprised he's not in mock drafts' top10s

He was at the U19 in Latvia apparently and did well so his scout report says (I guess you dont recall ). But if I remember correctly it was a Florida player (I forget his name now) who was the starter. I dont know about this Fraschilla pundit...dont much care for his evaluations. In any case if he said that he has a disagreement with his colleague Chad Ford....who said JV would be the 2nd pick in this draft. That said Leonard is moving up the board and ranked 12th in Draftexpress.

Nice video and thanks for posting. Me likely but let's be clear that might be a nice crossover but it's no Tim Hardaway killer crossover. That is a feint to one side and single dribble crossover the other way. I'm a bit picky when it comes to crossovers

I would never try to compare him with Tim Hardaway. He would have the best crossover on the team without a doubt though

Leonard is okay. Doesn't have the same potential as Valanciunas. The guy that is claiming that Leonard is better than Valanciunas is some random fool, not Fran Fraschilla. Actually, Fraschilla is very high on Valanciunas and raved about him last season. He was also the one that said that Valanciunas reminds him of Pau Gasol.

And the guy from Florida you're thinking about it Patric Young.

Zeller, Moultrie and Meyers will all be good, maybe great centers. I don't think any of them have big Val's potential though.

Thanks Mango.

A know Colangelo seems interested in Harkless and I wasn't a huge fan till I watched the first half of this video. The second half brought me down to reality; however, definitely more interested in him after seeing how he was not highly recruited, is very young and has a high basketball IQ.

JV reminds me of a hybrid of Bynum and Duncan, not sure if everyone agrees with me, but he just reminds me as that. (sharp elbows when he's posting, hands always high, a bit grounded, etc)

Leonard has the better shot I believe, but JV has the instincts. Also, JV likes contact more than Leonard. My two cents lol

You would not find one NBA GM who would trade JV for any of those three... not even Charlotte would do this (well, maybe Charlotte).

JV is supposed to be a 2nd overall pick if he was to get drafted this year .....

I think I know what you mean, the way he moves also reminds me of Bynum a little. Holds the ball high and like you said sticks out his elbows a lot. That's a very good thing for a center to get accustomed to.

Marshall, Lillard and Ross in for workouts today. Lillard not working out against anyone interestingly.

[Nilanka]

Funny because he was a late lottery pick and now he's dropped like crazy. All cause of that damn ACL injury. He's got tremendous upside

I'm not sure if his recent drop has much to do with the ACL. Scouts have been aware the injury for a full season, so it doesn't make sense why his stock would suddenly drop now (unless it's negatively affecting his performance in workouts).

....according to Chad Ford. That's one mans opinion.

Way too much pressure piled on JV's shoulders I think.
