OliviaPope40 Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) Charlotte Hornets power forward Noah Vonleh, the ninth overall pick in June’s draft, could start playing 5-on-5 next week after missing all of training camp with a sports hernia. Vonleh had surgery last month and had been limited to running and shooting on his own. Starting Wednesday he was allowed to play 1-on-1 games, the first contact he’s had since his injury was diagnosed. “I’m trying to see how I’m feeling when I’m moving laterally and when guys are physical with me, how I respond to it,” Vonleh said Thursday after a lengthy post-practice workout. “I’m still being cautious with it, but I’m moving better. Very excited to be back on the court.” A 6-foot-10 forward, Vonleh turned pro after one college season at Indiana. He wasn’t expected to play a lot this season behind Marvin Williams and Cody Zeller, but Hornets coach Steve Clifford felt a little shorthanded among big men with Vonleh out. Vonleh first tested his body against contact after shootaround Wednesday morning in Philadelphia. “I was a little sore. I was icing a lot last night. But I’m feeling good,” Noah said. Assuming no setback, Vonleh anticipates starting to play full-court 5-on-5 in practice next week. When he’d be cleared to start playing in games would be based on that. “I’m going to talk to the doctors (after the next step) and see what they’re saying and go from there,” Vonleh said.

WayneFleekHoosier Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 Yep no surprise. Everyone could tell this kid needed another year or 2 or 3. Too bad it couldn't have been in an Indiana uniform. OliviaPope40, mamasa, bleedhoosier and 1 other 4 Quote
OliviaPope40 Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 Yep no surprise. Everyone could tell this kid needed another year or 2 or 3. Too bad it couldn't have been in an Indiana uniform. I agree he should of stayed another year but he chose to protect his draft stock. Quote
wilfordhetzel Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 He just wasn't close to being ready for the NBA. I am not surprised. I hope he eventually makes it. Basketball4iU 1 Quote

WayneFleekHoosier Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 I'll leavelol. Being a Fort Wayne guy, i know just enough about the Mad Ants, to know they are the Mad Ants. Not much else except: Master P played for the Fort Wayne Fury many moons ago prior to the whole Mad Ant namesake. Master Freaking P! Make um say Ugh!!!! Na, na, nana! Edit- I do like the ring of the Red Ants. Them bastards are mean and pack an angry bite! IUsafety, ccgeneral, Walking Boot of Doom and 1 other 4 Quote
Naturalhoosier Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 lol Make 'em say Uggghhhh! lol Awesome! I had some Master P in my collection back in the day! Good stuff right there! I remember the Fury too. Wasn't that also the name of the Fort wayne indoor soccer team in the late 80s? Maybe that was the Fire or the Flames or something.
