    Jonas cant jump, but really, he doesnt need to, he is taller + have longer arms (i think he has) than Dwight. So really he doesnt need jump high to dunk or block somebody.. also Jonas has really soft touch around the rim and is actually great FT shooter at about 80%. Anyway, Jonas is still young and his stats from 2nd season are very comparable to DH. He's gonna be great player.

    Your probably right but it's also the angle of the picture, your not seeing a full side shot of the arm which is where it would look the biggest. Still, your probably right, his arms need work. Anyway, he's a basketball player, not a bodybuilder so I doubt he's worrying as much.

    NO WAY is right....

    Hibbert is not 7'6 350 as the fake pic is trying to show here.

    So... This extra muscles thing hasn't worked out so well so far. Not on Dwight Howard's level.

    He's developing much slower than I thought he would, he still looks lost sometimes out there.

    but then again the emergence of Demar and Lowry is making the team more guard focused, and the random improvement from A mur Johnson is also taking touches away from Jonas.

    But then again they have the best record in the NBA, don't fix what's working I guess.

    I wish DMo was on JV's level.

    Vucevic is getting closer to Dwight, but Valančiūnas… not so much. Good player, but not close to the top dog.

    still 22.. not a good fantasy draft pick..

    but I have hope that the raptors will run into problems with small ball and find that they NEED to dump the ball to the monster big


    he needs reps and touches to feel comfortable out there.

    JV was never ever going to be on Howard's level. Howard right out of high school was an athletic freak. JV will never ever come close to Howard's vertical, mobility, strength etc. It will never ever be close.

    You're right. Dwight's athleticism is just on another level. Skill-wise though, JV is going to be a better offensive player. He's got a nice touch and hit's free-throws at 80%+ clip.
