besides the fact that he's really talk at 6'11" and a quarter without shoes. Is that his no step vertical is 30". To give a point of reference Marcus smart had a 33" no step vertical which was tired for third out of all the players at the combine and the only guys to best smart were guys like m brown smarts teammate who had a mind blowing 44" max vertical. Also Dwayne Wade had a 31" no step vertical at his combine. So for a seven footer to jump 30" without needing any steps is nice. He does have a small wingspan though at only 7'. Oh well.

I am a UNC fan so I know his game fairly well.  He has good springs but his biggest asset in college was his speed and willingness to run the floor.  Used to get lots of easy baskets.

Wow, a legit center that is able to, AND likes to, run the floor for easy baskets. Tommy is going to go nuts watching this guy next season.

Look, Zeller may be used in a trade for Love, who knows (Zeller, Sully, Smart and some future picks, who knows?

But if not, I really like picking this kid up. He could really excel in Stevens system. And having two near seven footer in Olynyk and Zeller who can really get up and down the floor is very helpful. Also, Zeller is not shy physically, he will bang. He's only 24 as well and big men develop over time.

He's not the cure for all our ills but he may certainly be a very nice part of our rotation.

His standing vert should help compensate for his lack of length!

Having a 30' vertical also shows you he's a good athlete.

standing vert won't make up for your short reach when a big man is posting you up.

Tarheel fan here as well and I completely agree he runs like he is 6'5 and 9 out of 10 times he beats his man down the floor....

People talk like this kid is a finished product.

His NBA game is still evolving/developing.  Long way to go for the youngster.

We have a great stable of horses to run run run.

I can't wait to see Rondo walk the ball up and pound it into the ground for 22 seconds.

Sorry, but I was hoping it was going to be something like, "his heart."
We're the ones we've been waiting for.

This post was much more CB friendly than I thought it'd be when I started reading it.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.
