Did He Say Art?

In his first year at UVA, Landesberg was a double-digital scorer in all but five games, 12 of those games with at least 20 points or more, a UVA freshman record, and nine 20-point games as a second year player. He was a calm scorer who always managed to get in his points without anyone noticing—and sometimes silence can be golden.

... fans and members of the media were a bit shocked to see Landesberg skip out on his last two years of eligibility at the University of Virginia and declare for the 2010 NBA Draft—this all after being suspended from the Cavaliers squad for the remainder of the 2009-10 season for not attending art class.

Art.

Standing at 6’6”, Landesberg could be developed into a point guard to run the show like Evans of the Sacramento Kings, but would be better served as a wing player that thrives in a half court set...

Landesberg, to me, is a sleeper, a kid who could easily hang around the League for eight or nine years averaging 11 points and 4 rebounds per game.

Two more years, as Mahoney states, would have better served Landesberg as a legitimate prospect in the NBA Draft. Otherwise, he will be what the workouts have shown of him: a project in the making—not one worth undertaking, just one in the making. - Hoops Addict

Yesterday, the late addition to the NYKSL roster, Landesberg flashed some decent ball-handling and appears to have a nice stroke from outside.

Set The Wayback Machine for 2010

While Landesberg clearly projects as a swingman at the professional level, he does possess some very intriguing playmaking skills that demonstrate strong court vision and a high basketball IQ.

Yesterday

" Anyway, Sylven Landesberg (of interest because he's new and a shooting guard) looked decent as well. He handled the ball frequently and confidently and set up plays without ever really tossin' dimes. Hit a couple jumpers, too."

- Seth Rosenthal, Posting and Toasting

did someone say 6'6 swingman?

He didn't look bad out there yesterday in Summer League. Definitely an end of the bench guy, but there's talent and size for sure.

Isn't today the last game? Maybe he can get some more run and at least get a camp invite.

Some more run can only help. Who overfeeds these young egos that would be better served going to class and staying in college?

4PM we see what type of burn Landesberg gets.

Hahn interviewed him at the half. He is under contract in Israel.
