Or maybe Vonleh's fat *** had to finish eating some cheese burgers so the workout got started late and now they had to call in an ambulance to put an IV in him, so the workout is being delayed.

Is Vonleh ready for 82 games in Salt Lake or Denver? Walt Perrin says no. But Jazz VP didn't think Vonleh was terribly out of shape today.

Perrin was asked if Vonleh was a top-5 pick. He said, "we'll see."
Really nothing to be gleaned from Perrin's interview. He was asked about how Vonleh would fit with Favors and Kanter and said Vonleh could play with either. Also mentioned he had watched him in HS and he was a perimeter player, but has now added a post game.
My conclusion from all of this is that both Vonleh and Gordon are very raw. Neither will threaten for a starting spot right away. Jazz likely go with the Core5 as the starters and see how they do (wouldn't it have been great to have had them starting together for 70 games last season?). Whoever the Jazz add will strengthen that group's rotation by coming off the bench. I have a gut feeling it will be Gordon.

That's pretty much how I see it too. With Quin Snyder on board, I'm expecting them to go young with upside. Core5 will likely get most of the starter's minutes with other guys filling in as needed and possibly proving that they belong out on the floor.

Vonleh's a smart guy, I'll give him that. When he worked out for Boston, he said what a thrill it was because he's from MA. Now he talks about the Jazz organization and history. Sounds like a guy going out on a job interview.

Vonleh might be the only player I say hell no to.
We don't need another emotionless, heartless, fat *** big man who thinks he's a shooting guard. Drafting Chris Bosh 2.0 is not the answer. Give me a good role player over a Chris Bosh like "star."
Besides, if we want a stretch 4, why don't we just reup Marvelous?
Use the #5 for a player who actually gives a damn. Someone aggressive. Smart, Exum, Gordon. At least 1 of these will be available when we draft. Hell no to Vonleh.

If I knew without a doubt Vonleh was Chris Bosh 2.0, I would take him #1 overall in the draft.
Saw that tweet. Listened to the interview. Sounds like he knows just about as much about Jazz history as every other prospect that gets asked... "Sloan. Stockton. Malone. Deron Williams. Blablabla" Really whoever tweeted that just has a boner for Vonleh for some reason.
From his college tapes, Vonleh doesn't look quick or explosive enough to be Chris Bosh. More like Rashard Lewis or Vin Baker.
The key for Vonleh is quickness with the ball in his hands. I think that's what sets his ceiling.

Is Noah Vonleh comparable to David West at all?
Maybe, but Vonleh's longer. I actually think he's a bit comparable to Marvin Williams.
I would take Exum over Vonleh, if given a choice.
I still have concerns about Vonleh's quickness, enough to still have him neck and neck with Randle.

In fact, I'll go out on a limb here ---
Don't be shocked if Randle is the pick at 5. His quickness, toughness and motor may give him the nod over Vonleh. Randle is a bigger, quicker Paul Millsap, and Snyder just worked all year with Millsap. If Exum is off the board, I think there's a good chance that Randle is the pick.

His shooting range and length may be more like a Rasheed Wallace, but I'm not sure about his ability to attack the rim like West.
Randle isn't comparable to Millsap in his current Atlanta state. Could Randle possibly get there one day? Maybe, but it will be a long path to develop that kind of jump shot from where his shot currently is. It's not a given by any means.
Randle could be like a bigger, stronger version of the early-day Jazz Millsap. To project him past that is hard though.
What if he's Kevin Durant/Dirk Nowitzki? Still no?
