Bugs bunny 1,825 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Hmm? Gotta check all angles when a Superstar gets injured and leaves a void on a roster. Wolves have no chance now. Good news for Edwards going forward. So here we have Vanderbilt from Kentucky who has just tore up the G-league for quite awhile now. Could this finally be his opportunity? Who knows. It’s not like they have a lot of front court depth. Could be worth a flier. Went off tonight. Yes it was a blow out but anytime a player does that much damage in minimal minutes he needs to be watched. Can’t recall the last time a power forward came outta nowhere. Terrance Jones lol. Vanderbilt doesn’t have a lot of weight though. We’ll see. Could be worth a flier for deepers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
j3rkthenurk 932 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Why is it B.J Vanderbilt instead of Jared Vanderbilt? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tazdingo 363 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I remember the GM of Minny being very excited to get this guy. Will have to just monitor for now considering KAT is gone and their PF situation has been total trash with Layman and Juancho shuffling duties there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
perkinsfor3 433 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I had him as one of my break out players before the season started. However, when you lose out to Juancho and Layman as a PF, its a bad look. Yesterday he finally got some run and even though he is a good rebounder and passer, he somehow looked totally out of place. He offers very little offense and didnt play a lot of team ball (although the ast numbers might indicate otherwise). I dont expext him to make much noise unless he takes a big leap in development.

Btw this doesnt only go for Vandy, but also for a dude like Culver: I really dont like the development the Wolves are showing. And a lot of that is on the team, which is allowing, maybe even forcing, younger players to do stuff they shouldnt and are probably not comfortable with. Look at the shots a developing scorer like Culver is taking. Look at how Vanderbilt is bringing the ball up at the wrong moments. I dont belive in Saunders as a coach. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's not totally a waste yet, we're just 1 week into the season and neither Layman nor Juancho have shown that they deserve a bulk of the minutes at the 4. It is unsettling though that they still let RHJ go over these two (the guy is only 26). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bugs bunny 1,825 Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) So I just looked. They got nobody in Front-court on a two ways either. They also waived Rondae Hollis-Jefferson like a week ago or so. Maybe they bring him back. Idk. For now it looks like Vanderbilt a guy to watch or proactive flier. - just saying Jake Layman, Hernan?

rabaak 381 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I only watched a few minutes right before half time where the wolves made it back from being down by 18. This guy was really impressive on both ends of the court. He was all over the place. Came out of no where on help defensive to block a couple shots. 2 AST, 2 BK, 11 PTS, 3 ST, 5 TRB in 23 minutes. 4 of 5 on FG's. The only bad was 3 of 7 on FT's. If he plays like this, the Wolves have to find him minutes. They need his energy and his presence in the lane with the 3 point chuckers they have in the rest of the lineup. It's only one game. But I like the potential. And his skill set and energy should get Saunders attention. You category guys should love him if he can get minutes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tazdingo 363 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) Look how active he is in this first clip. The FT for the night is bad but look at everything else... And look at this sweet pass he handed to Edwards for the poster in the link below. How is Saunders not playing this guy over 20mpg??? Over Layman and Juancho???https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THEiwbEu1Og Edited January 6 by tazdingo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JormaJormala 747 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Typical rotoworld forums hype guy with a lot of sizzle, but thin on the meat. Lets go through his deficiencies: - Very lanky and thin for C position - Cant shoot for his life to play SF or PF, no 3 point shot what so ever, no jump shot what so ever - Exposed on the defense with positioning issues - Gets bullied down low - Mediocre rebounding - Cant hit a free throw - Turns the ball over a lot He does generate energy and defensive stats and is well built for 10-15 minute role off the bench or cleaning up garbage minutes or doing a desperate "lets try to get back in the game 20 down making every imaginable hustle play".

bbythepier 1,681 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I don't know about the previous posters but I'm not looking to fantasy marry the guy. I'm just scrounging for 2-3 weeks of stocks I normally wouldn't have. If it turns out that we start fantasy dating cool, but I'll settle for a fantasy fling as Saunders throws poop against the wall trying to get a W. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's funny because you could have said almost the exact same things about sophomore Giannis a few years ago.. I'm not saying Vanderbilt will become a stud, but he's young and can improve if he gets the chance to play. Before this season he only played 120 minutes of NBA basketball over 32 games (less than 4mpg!!) no **** he has bad positioning and turns the ball over a lot. Those things can only improve with playing time and experience. Shooting will probably take more time, we'll see Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post perkinsfor3 433 Posted January 6 Popular Post Share Posted January 6 50 minutes ago, JormaJormala said: - Mediocre rebounding Jarred is, and always has been one of the best rebounders in the nation. In college he was ranked #1 on the offensive boards and top 20 on the defensive boards. He's a monster rebounder, and here's JormaJormala, who has a history on totally unfounded and ill-informed posts, claiming Vanderbilt is a mediocre rebounder. Calipari on Vanderbilt: ‘You can be the best rebounder in the world' 'Jarred Vanderbilt leads the Summer League in Rebounds' De’Aaron Fox: Jarred Vanderbilt is ‘the best rebounder I’ve ever seen’ 'The first thing that jumps off the screen, and constantly gets mentioned by people who’ve watched him at Kentucky and in Denver, is Vanderbilt’s tenacious rebounding ability' 'He is one of those players who seems to have a sixth sense for where the ball is going to go after it clanks off the cylinder. Combine that with an unquenchable thirst for crashing the boards no matter where he is when the shot goes up, and you can see why he has such rave reviews about his rebounding exploits.' “For him to get over that fear, to go out there and have three, four impactful minutes,” Malone said. “That pass he made (to Malik Beasley) was an incredible pass, and I think he shows you in 3:53… he gets you three rebounds. He’s a rebounding machine.' 'Numbers prove Jarred Vanderbilt is a beast on the boards' 'Vanderbilt plays with a strong motor and is an absolutely elite rebounder on both the offensive and defensive glass.' 'According to KenPom, Vanderbilt had a 23.2% offensive rebounding percentage which, if he played in enough games to qualify, would have made him the best offensive rebounder in the country by a wide margin. Michigan State center Nick Ward is the official qualified leader with an 18.2% offensive rebound percentage.' 'These are staggering statistics which show just what kind of impact Jarred Vanderbilt can make on the glass with his motor and nose for the ball. Rebounding is a skill that usually translates to the next level, especially when you have Vanderbilt’s physical profile.' 'Vanderbilt also made his presence felt on the defensive glass as his 27.9% defensive rebounding percentage would rank him just behind DeAndre Ayton and Angel Delgado if he qualified.'
