Yeah his post moves are ugly but his D and energy had been fun to watch.
It's been so damn long since we've had a big that knew how to wall up and make things uncomfortable on interior shots for opponents without fouling. He's really mastered this and it's something we've needed so desperately from KAT and Dieng over the years.
Vonleh has picked his spots going for his in the post but he has also done a pretty good job of actually passing out. Honestly he is giving us a significant percentage in solid impact that we were used to see inv from Taj the last 2 years which for only 2 million a year is a pretty big Bargain. I saw someone tweet that Sam Vencine of the athletic tweeted that he thought Vonleh was one of the best backup C's in the league. Maybe that's not super high praise but nice to get a bit of love from someone who isn't a fan of this team or anything.
