If he can just learn to block out and rebound, he will be a monster next year.

I agree, some players are just not coachable.</p>

If he can put on a good 25 -30 lbs... He'll be a monster next year...

"I don't care who you are," as Larry the Cable Guy says.

JV may not be the perfect package yet, but has made an impressive State-ment.</p>

And, he's coming back. I like that part.

There's players that don't mean squat, and then there's the one-man Swat team.</p>

He has the frame. He needs to put some meat on his bones and issue warnings for people to get the hell out of his way when he goes up -- or else.

Varnado blocked one out of every six 2-point shots taken while he was in the game. Not to mention the number of shots he affected without blocking.</p>

1. He won't be pushed around when fighting for offensive, defensive, or rebounding positioning.

2. Players will have a more difficult time driving right at him (a common way to attack JV). Even guards would outstrong JV in this manner at times.

3. With his length plus the added strength, he should be able to manufacture at least 15 points a game.
