A quick glance at Noah Vonleh’s game logs shows his last two games to be the best two-game scoring stretch of his career. 16 points last game, 17 points this game, one point better than when he scored 10 then 22 earlier this year. What I’m trying to get at here is that this is…

I am continually surprised by how low Noah Vonleh’s scoring output is. My designation for him in my mind has been replaced with “decent role player” from “bust”, and with that designation change comes a certain expectation of scoring. He did manage to get a 22-point game this season, by far a career-high, but other…

You know how everybody heaps praise upon the NBA by allowing the fans a voice in the form of All-Star votes even though those votes aren’t even the final deciding factor of who makes the game and who doesn’t make the game? What if I told you that the YouTube channel DownToBuck, he most critically-acclaimed…

Noah Vonleh has now earned a rightful reputation as a “Giannis Stopper”. His wide body, athleticism, and fearless bodily sacrifices make him the perfect guy to slow down Giannis’ relentless drives. By virtue of this “Giannis Stopper” status alone, Vonleh will continue to get NBA contracts for at least the next five years. Throw in…

Noah Vonleh had an exceedingly sick dunk in the first minute of this game. Frazier put into words what everybody was thinking: it was a Greek Freak-esque dunk. However, not everything was as it should have been. Despite the sickness of the dunk, there were no replays of it, and without the audiovisual reminder of…

Maybe Noah Vonleh’s way of staying viable in the NBA is to transform into a three-point specialist. A lot of players have done it, but not a lot of players in Vonleh’s mold have done it. That mold being the stocky, bruising, rebound-obsessed power forward type. He was four of seven from the threezone in…

Noah Vonleh contributed mightily to the Knicks’ toppling of the Celtics with his slow-release three-pointers, his positively DEMONIC rejections of wimpy leprechaun shots, and, confusingly, a pump-fake-three-to-step-in-midrange-jimbo that left me feeling feelings that I haven’t felt in a long time. Is Vonleh finally breaking out? Maybe? Sort of? Does sixteen points really count as “breaking…

What is not shown in this highlight video is Noah “Chokey McChokeman” Vonleh missing two free throws with a minute to go that would have tied this game. That’s because this is a “highlight” video, and those missed free throws are not a highlight except if you’re a Blazers fan. In watching this video, you…

I almost didn’t do this one, because it’s only 12 points for a former lottery pick, but I had a bad feeling that I would regret it if I didn’t. It’s very possible that Noah Vonleh never scores more than this the whole season. His career high is only 16, after all. Plus, it’s his…
