Maymon reminds me of...

[leevol20]

DeJaun Blair from Pitt, now with the San Antonio Spurs.

6' 7" Big man who bangs his way to get rebounds and scores on the block with his physicality.

If he can reach Blair's consistency at Pitt, we will have one hell of a force on our team.

 

[Vols4us]

Now I understand why he was so highly rated coming out of HS. He has fully bought into Coach Zo's system and will only get better from here. Opposing teams better gets us early because in a year or so he will have us in the Top Ten.

 

[DERELICK_MY_VOLS]

He reminds me of.....

The next generation of Grandmama....ma perhaps?

 

[AmoebaVol]

Slay ... Ron Slay

 

[LawVol13]

Slay ... Ron Slay

I'm not seeing the Slay comparison.

 

[AmoebaVol]

I'm not seeing the Slay comparison.

Well ... Minus the outside shooting touch. Slay was very opportunistic around the basket. Grabbed a lot of boards and got a lot of putbacks. Tough inside. Maymon played a similar game today.

But you're right, Maymon is no threat on the perimeter. I do like his FT improvement, though.

I see what you're saying now.

His improvement in the free throw game is unbelievable. After last year, I wrote Maymon off basically because of his inability at the free throw stripe. He must have worked hard this summer. He has bought in to Coach Martin, and that is a great sign.

 

[WayneChism]

Good to see his ability finally coming out.... I guess patience is a true virtue. Seeing him play today is exactly how I saw him play in high school

This is who I was thinking about as well. Larry Johnson.

 

[Spartacavolus]

He's the mix of LJ and Augmon in a weird sort of way.

 

[DJ praise machine]

I like this team...but we could use a BIGTIME 3pt threat!

 

[k-town_king]

Blair with more handles.

 

[Heebs]

I like both LJ and Blair comparisons.

He seems to have a a different mindset this year and he's in that in between position that can be so dangerous in college.

 

[lastlap]

Blair with more handles.

Lawerence Fishborne with bball skillz

 

[MadcapLaughs]

Reminding me of Former Knick Anthony Mason. Not quite the defender yet.

Yep

 

[ChuckG]

Reminds me of Howard Wood sans the touch. Maymon is still young.

 

[Blake25p]

The great thing about Maymon is he's only a Junior he's gonna be even better next year!!!!

 

[The Shooter McGavin]

Barkley?

 

[MadcapLaughs]

Barkley?

I don't think he is athletic enough.

This is the perfect comparison. Hopefully he's able to have sustained success like Blair had.

 

[MemphisCanes]

The round mound of rebound. Sir Charles.

 

[BasketvolsFan]

Blair is the best comparison to the way Maymon is playing now. His confidence is out the roof now based on his play in the tournament.

 

[The Shooter McGavin]

I don't think he is athletic enough.

But he is as athletic as Anthony Mason? Lol.
