Title: Vander Blue in Olympic Commercial?
Post by: brewcity77 on June 29, 2012, 08:22:31 AM
Has anyone else noticed Van in the new USA Men's Basketball promo? It's the "Keep Sweating" ad, I'm pretty sure that's him wearing #17 around the 8-second mark. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe that's someone else, but it sure looks a lot like Van (though I think he wore #6). Typically, the numbers only go up to #15, so I'm not sure when that pic was from, but if it's not Van, it sure looks a lot like him.

And please, please correct me if I'm wrong...but I saw it multiple times last night and today, then watched it on YouTube, and it really seems to be him.

Not only is it not Vander Blue, it doesn't look anything like him. There is no resemblance whatsoever.

Chris Paul on the left there looks a little like him, but not quite

Vander actually resembles Westbrook a little bit. Too bad he can't play like him!

That's just false.  First time I saw it, I thought "Vander?"  It took me a few seconds to figure out who it was.

Thanks. I did look at Westbrook side-by-side with that pic and just didn't think to a still shot it looked the same. In that picture, with the shading and lights, looks as much like Van as it does anyone. And PRN, give me a break.

Van and Westbrook definitely look similar. Westbrook also looks like Little Foot from Land Before Time, so there's that.

Vander is ranked as the #86 prospect in Chad Ford's early (too early) top 100 prospects for the 2013 NBA draft. (Insider)

He isn't, though I always get the impression Ford is about 3-4 months behind on his draft projections. I'm really disappointed with how poorly ESPN covers the NBA draft.

Seriously, every single year without fail Ford has an no MU players getting drafted forever, then right before the draft he puts them in the late second round or top 70, then they go ~30.  It seems pretty worthless to even look at his stuff.
