Noah Vonleh is coming to training camp

[Roy H.]

If we're giving camp invites to bigs who didn't pan out from the early-mid 2010s, can we send one to my binkie Thomas Robinson?

I'll never give up on him

I hear Brad is after Jan Veselý.

Thomas apparently had locker room issues according to some Reddit person (butted heads with coach).

Vesely - did he have locker room problems? Wouldn't be surprised given those were the Arenas Wizards right

There are plenty out there. Willie Cauley-Stein, Moose Monroe.

Maybe we can lure Cole Aldrich out of retirement.

Larry Sanders, haha.

He was in the Big Three league (not sure now)

No idea but he was a career 41% FT% in 162 NBA games (157 attempts).  I doubt the locker room was the problem.

I read somewhere Rudy Fernandez ended up doing pretty good in Euroleague, think it's the same for Vesely? These are always interesting to me, just watching seeing these fringe NBA players, or just NBA role players, end up dominating overseas.

Might be a good steal

With Euro guys, they’re probably making similar coin to what they would in the NBA, but they’re close to home, have shorter seasons and play less, and get more spotlight. Makes sense

Also i was more referring to a period before, where Euro guys kind of struggled to adapt to the NBA (I think largely due to cultural issues, but also playstyle)

Also side note, you could sing "Noah Vonleh's coming to town" to the tune of "Santa Claus is coming to town"

Noah has been bouncing around the league for quite a bit.  He's a journeyman big but the big men sometimes take longer to develop.  Who knows maybe the light comes on for him with the Celtics?

He was a top 10 pick when he came out so some scouts definitely liked him when he first came out.

Draft scouting report:
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1995806-best-case-worst-case-nba-projection-for-indiana-star-noah-vonleh

So his projected upside was a stretch 4 Harrison Barnes or Chris Bosh type.  He hasn't reached those heights yet, but I guess he's worth a punt isn't he?

report on signing:
https://www.celticsblog.com/2022/8/1/23288064/celtics-sign-noah-vonleh-to-deal-to-compete-for-a-roster-spot

So who you got as the 3rd big behind Horford and Williams?  Are you in the Kornet camp or the Vonleh camp?

Neither. Celtics need someone better.

I don't think fans looking at that 3d big spot behind Horford and Williams understand how important that player is going to be to winning the title. Actually could be the difference between winning it all or not. We need some significant size and muscle inside that the team currently does not have. We need a strong rebounder and a guy who mixes it up inside. This is a glaring hole in our team.

Am I the only one who thinks Vonleh's destiny could be anything between cut before the season and fill-in starter for Horford?
