He filled the harden role a rookie.

Just having the balls to take 11 3s in a road game 7 as a rookie after going 1 for 6 in the previous game is something.

Then he went and shot 5 for 11.

ya they really only have a 6 man rotation, 7 if you’re counting the cone that is Andre Drummond

Daryl Morey is NOT a liar

Not only are they fantastic, they all come across as good, relatively down to earth human beings too. Very easy to root for this entire draft class

The sheer amount of guys who look like they can be solid starters is absurd, theres like 15 of them

Fact’s,knew it was good, but this should go down as one of the best.

Man Flagg once he gets a real team around him is going to be really fun to watch in the playoffs. VJ is somehow already there 

Great rebounder as well, offensive rebounds too

I’ve seen a lot of DWade comp since his college days, including from Wade himself. they mostly talk about physicality and finishing.

But the man also has shades of Wade on defense. The help defense, positioning, even the IQ for rookies is there too.

Unbelievably composed defender for a rookie.

Two way force,and still just a rookie 😂😄🤣😅👍

I VJ’d

Elizabeth im edge coming baby

THE EDGELORD

He’s on his 2018 Playoffs rookie Tatum run

He’s gonna take us to the promise land some day

Man they say he plays like a vet, not a rookie.

The fake pass into easy 3 in the third quarter looked like a 10 year vet. VJ looked like he packed up his briefcase and went to work for the day

I’d still take Flagg’s ceiling with his size and already elite skillset, but VJ looks like a future all star if not superstar for sure!

The Maxey Edgecomb backcourt is gonna be a fun one for years to come

VJ, Flagg and Harper all have insane ceilings. Knueppel feels like he’s reached more of his potential already, but I could easily be wrong.

Either way it’s an insane rookie class that will be a joy to watch in the future.

Even if he’s not the best, i think this class will have more than one superstar

I see it. He’s not afraid of the moment and he’s clutch. Not too common for a rook

yup i have to agree as an elite 2 way guy maybe flagg but vj is elite

I’ll take our rook

All he needs is a couple blocks and I’ll be calling him baby wade. 76ers got a great one!

His efficient 🤦🏾‍♂️

Fun thread to read now.

Among all those hot takes the one thing everyone seemed to agree on was Boston making the ECF (and essentially finals as well). Funny how things turn out

If you told me a year ago Suns and 76ers would have the year they had I’d call you dumb. I know Suns is out now, but I’m still impressed with what they achieved all things considered.

Gonna be?

Especially since he only sat 4 min

He’s gotten better. It’s nuts to watch.

“You’re saying I can ball out in game 7s?

“No, VJ. I’m saying when you’re ready, you won’t have to.”

If you look at the rookie stats VJ is ranked average at everything which is incredible. He doesn’t have holes in his game. Flag abuses his height for rebounds/blocks but can’t shoot 3s reliably. Kon is easily the best shooter, but struggles with blocks and steals.

VJ’s only below average stat is field goal percentage, but considering his playtime and being the 3rd or 4th option on the court most of the time, its not really a surprise that he is trying to force more difficult shots than he is comfortable with at this stage in his career. The other two rookies have their team playing around them, while VJ is kind of left trying to figure out where he can fit in and doing a great job at doing the little things.
