The White One

I fully agree with you, in fact, i will go as far as to say Langhi will be the next Dirk Novitzki. I mean, there is nothing holding him back. When dirk first came to the nba he averaged 7.8 ppg. Thats about how much Langhi averaged when he got the playing time. Its a known fact that Langhi has a nice outside J, Calvin is always commenting on his tremendous shooting touch. Also, he has a good vertical leap. We all saw this with his dunk against Minnesota. I predict that with more PT next year he will win the most improved player award, start avg. 17 ppg, and in time he will be the next Novitzki.

------------------

 

I haven't seen enough of him to know if he'll be good or not, but from what i've heard he does have the potential to be.

------------------

 

If Damn Lanky scores 17 ppg next season, he better win the most improved player of the year... and we better make the playoffs.

(I seriously doubt he will average 17 ppg... that is only 3 less than Steve and Cat)

Dan Langhi has a bright future. Langhi can score in an assortment of ways. He can: hit jump shots, hit three-pointers, penetrate to the rim and layup. Langhi gives opponents difficulties. If the opponent is bigger Langhi can use his athleticism to dribble past the opponents for the layup. If the opponent is smaller Langhi can shoot over them.

------------------

 

Langhi will develop into a good player I believe. I think that most people on this board will agree that he will become a good player... the question is how good?

He does have the size, athletecism, and hustle to make a big impact. And he has the skills to compliment his physical abilities also. Plus with the zone next year, he'll become even more valuable. He just needs to get stronger because I've seen him get bounced around out there.

Hopefully he won't get injured or anything, and have a good summer with all the summer league games + training programs. With time, he will become a very valuable asset to this team I believe.

He just needs to get stronger because I've seen him get bounced around out there.
I have seen the same thing lots of times. He needs to bulk up so he can rebound better and so he can use his height to his advantage in the post. With his current build he couldnt post up muggsy bogues.

One thing i have noticed about langhi is when he gets knocked down with the ball the rephs rarely call anything. That will change next year, when he gets the respect he deserve.

------------------

 

I think the team has big expectations for him. Every time he goes inside and scores, even in the garbage minutes, Steve and the others go crazy almost like he's their little brother. I think there must be potential in him. Question is how much. I wouldn't mind him turning out somewhat like dirk. I wouldn't mind if we started him and he averaged around 13 ppg.

------------------

 

Langhi, no offense, is nowhere near the total package of Dirk.
Dirk has one of the best looking jumpers in the game and has good baketball commons sense.
Langhi is more of an athlete. He may learn the common sense and may have a decent jumper but is not Dirk.
The only thing similar about the two is they are both white.

 

I am unsure as to which games you were watching. I agree that Langhi has potential, but in the last 20 games he got 10 or more minutes 5 times. In those 5 games he had 2, 4, 13, 4 and 6 points. He shot 13-30 in those 5 games. He had one other game of 10 points in 12 minutes back in January.

Anyone notice we have 2 presidents of the Langhi fan club in this thread?

 

Alas, poor Continental Basketball Association. I knew him well.

Not really, but I can't resist stealing and misquoting the bard.

Anyway, where will Rudy go for spare talent, now that the Yakima Sun Kings are no more?



------------------

 

Since his crazy ass Slam in the RMR I've thought Lanky was good (still love Najera though), but when can we get ride of Collier!?!?

I dont understand how people can make such blind judgements on a player's skill. He rarely played this season, and when he did get extended minutes and didnt shoot an airball he didnt do much better.

Before you flame on me, I think Langhi is cool and I like to see him sky for a great white one dunk as much as the next guy, and I think Langhi will stick around in this league for a while like most of you. But he is not the second coming and we shouldnt expect him to be so. WHile he will definitely improve as time goes by, we must remember that this who was stuck on the bench behind Shandon Anderson, Walt Williams, and Matt Bullard--nothing against those guys but it just goes to show how much Langhi needs to work on his game to reach his potential.

Hey, I am the original president of the Danforth Fan Club. There can only be 1 president, and that's me. Francis786, feel free to become vice president if you want, but I'm not resigning till my term is over.

I liked what I saw from Langhi in the few games he played this season...which of there were only about 3 he played comfortably and wasn't nervous. I think he could be a tremendous role player, and hopefully more.

We will see in the draft exactly how high the Rockets are on Dan, with whether or not they draft a SF #1. If they trade that pick or draft a big man then it almost guarentees that they wan't him to really develop next year. The draft may make or break his future with the team.

------------------

 

On Langhi, we know:

1. He can dunk for a white toothpick.
2. We don't know much else.
3. He kicked butt on a decent team in a good league in college.
4. He needs to gain some serious weight.
5. Rudy likes him.

That's it. Sorry, that isn't enough information to form the basis of any reasonable predictions. I like cheering on the team too, but try to keep ita little more grounded in reality.

I like Dan, but Nowitzki is almost a freak. He has every conceivable physical edge over Dan, big time.

Dan could develop into a decent player, but Dirk was a lotto pick for a reason.

Novitzki was a lottery pick cuz Don Nelson isnt afraid to take chances with foreign born players.

Langhi has the touch from the outside and the leaping ability, all he need now is some confidence.

The only thing Novitzki has that Langhi doesnt is size. Langhi is quicker and can jump higher. Im not saying thats all, but hops are hard to get, while size can be gained or lost.
