He did good job, very good job on his upper body, core. I'm anxious to see how he will start NBA season, anxious to find out his true weight and I really hope he did not forget to train lower body too.

Remember that first half he had in summer league where we thought he was going to score 40? His first quarter 16 points made him look like he was going for 60. Then he wasnt played for all the 2nd and 4th quarters. In the 3rd quarter he didnt get the ball until 5 minutes left. In the last 5 minutes, he was passed the ball in the post 3 times. twice he did a simple drop step for a dominate dunk and the third he was fouled for 1/2 FT. Had they just only fed him the ball in the post, JV was ready to drop 60+.
I think whats so wicked about JV is that he is showing he can handle a higher usage. His FG% is always so damn high, you'd think he should be taking more shots!

You get worried with guys like Ross who struggle to perform against guys who will probably never play a second in the league.

I agree, and I was worrying after about the third play when he had an easy spin left instead forced it right...drew a foul but.... then later he eased my tension when he completely sealed his guy and dropped left for an easy dunk..THAT is a great sign, those moves work on everyone guys, dont discount the swedes, they were swarming him with three small guys, not easy for a big to operate in that scenario...he does well.
