His defense has also been better than Okafor or Bagleys.
Conditioning and silly fouls are the only things holding him back from being a 1st team All American.

Agree, and these should get better. Seems very coachable.Conditioning and silly fouls
Is it just me or does it seem like he’s attempted and made more 3’a than he has because according to his stats he’s only attempted and made three 3’s so far during this season.Way better than I thought he’d be. Dude can make 3s on the regular too
I think it’s been established that we can’t go wrong playing through Vernon.
It’ll be interesting to see if he does go lottery. After watching the first six games I’d say he should. Granted that is extremely biased.His stock certainly improved in New York! As long as he remains consistent when the competition increases, he will be a high lottery pick!

This. Never gets overly emotional either positively or negatively. Just hoops!I love this kids demeanor. So badass.
I think it’s that he has literally mad every jumper he has taken so far this season outside of the paintIs it just me or does it seem like he’s attempted and made more 3’a than he has because according to his stats he’s only attempted and made three 3’s so far during this season.
In fairness, those Bagley numbers are basically 5 games for him, because the MSU Champions Classic game he played in, he went out 5 minutes into the game with the eye injury and never came back. That is just silly.
I think the thing that has impressed me most about Vernon is his ability to run the floor and get easy points. I didn't think he would be able to do that. Oh, and the defense, his defense has been much much better than advertised.
His willingness to take charges is one of the things i like about him. It feels like our past bigs haven’t been too willing to take a charge but really this whole team so far has shown they’re willing. We’ve take a lot of charges so far. Oh and Wendells feet were set!!!He plays much better positional defense than was assumed. He uses his hips so well to get into position. He’s also shown a propensity to take charges. Loving the Vernon/Tre combo. Tre has himself a Jah like his brother.

The biggest problem with foul trouble on Vernon is Javin can’t seem to not foul. So he goes in because Carey gets an early second or third foul and immediately gets himself in foul trouble too.This isn’t meant as a knock on our 17-18 team, but it helps Vernon that he’s our only big in the game. It allows him to do his thing, and our spacing is better.
The negative though, to talk out of both sides of my mouth, is Vernon is our only true big, so foul trouble on him could be a problem for us. My prayer is that Javin can become a little more serviceable as the season goes.

He would be a massive help, especially since Hurt has been slow out of the gate due to strength issues.I know that’s why having Marquis Bolden would have been ideal for this team.
