Vander Blue

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

he went to unlv right?

[GGGG]

2 seasons ago Vander was playing more of a combo guard spot in the D-League, averaging over 5 assists per game.

Looks like he's at the 3 this year.   3pt% is a respectable 37.2% on 183 attempts this year.

But he is too small to play that position in the NBA.

Which tells you where Vander is.

Honestly, please tell me what Vaughn brings to the table after having watched him perform sporadically for a season and a half.  I understand Rashad is younger and slightly taller.  He's supposed to be a knockdown shooter and hasn't been close to that for the Bucks. He's clueless on defense, cannot handle or pass the ball and takes ill-advised shots.  Even his limited play in the D-League has been less than impressive.  Normally an NBA talent will tear up the D-League for a few games when sent down.  I simply don't think he's NBA caliber.

Not saying Vander is a big impact player in the NBA but the skills he brings and the experience + work he's put on his game is intriguing.  A much improved shooter from both 3-point range and the free throw line, good heady defender, gets to the line, better handling the ball. Yes I am a bit biased since I like Vander.  I just think he's got some game and would not be surprised to see him on a squad as a bench role player eventually.  Some of us tend to cling on to how certain players performed at MU.  Players will get better if they put the work in.

You just described about 95% of 19 year old NBA players. Sorry, but not many kids kill it in the NBA when they're 1 year out of college.

You're entitled to your opinion. I'll trust the 30 NBA teams who have not given Vander a shot that they know more than you or I.

Fair enough.  Hoping for the best of them both, anyway.  It would be cool to see Vander succeed with any team, especially in his home state

It says he won all AAC honors?! Wtf

[MomofMUltiples]

It says he won all AAC honors?! Wtf

Of course he did!  After all, wasn't the AAC the follow-on conference to the Big East when it fell apart? oh, wait...

Kinda of like he's played for the South Bay Lakers for 4 years, even though they were the D-Fenders before January 2017.

The smile on Vander's face is tremendous.

I am rooting hard for the young man to realize his dreams. He is doing 3 a day drills right now to get ready for training camp.

Good for Vander - http://www.nba.com/lakers/news/170804-latest-laker-vander-blue?ls=related_stories

I think this is a second puff piece story after the signing one posted above.

Looks like Vander is in the good graces of the Boss Lady of Lakers...

Jeanie Buss' twitter profile picture is .. interesting for an NBA owner.

Seems like a fun gal to hang around with.

After reading that article, I'd like to congratulate Vander on finding a way to grow to 6-foot-5!

To be fair, JB thinks this is how a woman should properly dress.

[4everwarriors]

This should be in teal, right?

No way! She's showing too much neck, as well as a little wrist!!

I had the same problem.  Add "nude" to your search.  That should do the trick.

Full service, impressive.

[mu_hilltopper]

I forgot to add 'nude' to the search.   Man, it sucks getting old.
