Caleb Lohner. Combination of Matthew McConaughey, young Justin Timberlake and Stuart from Mad TV. Love the way the guy plays.

Doesn't hurt that he looks like a Greek God! He can be hit or miss so far but he always gives effort and that's more important!

Hit or miss?

What does he miss?

He makes some silly mistakes and sometimes dribbles the ball too much given we have 5 starting guards on the team. Had a lot of turnovers in one of the first games too. I'm sure he's still getting acclimated and will be just fine.

His stat sheet is strong.

Averaging 8 points and 7 rebounds a game. Shooting 70% from the floor and 67% from 3. Averaging 1 TO per game.

And he averages almost as many offense rebounds as defense.

Shooting about 80% from the free throw line. And a good many steals.

Not bad for a bench player.

And he plays his tale off when on the floor.

Love his game and he will only get better as he gets more comfortable with the team and how his role fits

Lohner is definitely a bottle of energy waiting to happen! It's fun watching him.

Lohner often seems like another Mark Vital. I don't think he will ever match Vital's energy & myriad contributions but he seems to do some of the same things, also very well.

We've got a great set of bench players in Bonner, Lohner and Big Josh. Those three are exactly what you look for in reserves because all bring a ton of energy when they're on the floor. Those guys are all capable of sparking us when we need a good kick in the shorts and keeping a run going when our starters need a rest.

I love watching Bonner and Lohner on the floor together because those two are constant hustle. Even when they don't get the steal or rebound, they get their hands on a ton of balls with their effort.

Every good team needs a couple of guys like that.

Caleb was one of the players I loved to watch when he was still at BYU. He should do great things in Waco.

Ya, no way to compare him to one of the best Baylor players of all time, but he can hit a three better than Mark. His stroke actually looks pretty damn good.

Keynote to Caleb for the lob dunk seems to be a good connection as well. Caleb can get up.

Point taken. But if Caleb aspired to do some of those Mark Vital things to Mark's level of efficiency, he will likely be a bigger contributor to the team. The fact that he shoots better is wonderful.

Lohner so impressive with his ability to mix it up inside and also switch and guard the perimeter. Vital-esque.

Nice athleticism, defense sucks

His defense doesn't suck. He is a big with the agility to switch and guard the perimeter, which is vital (pun intended) in our system.

A little uncomfortable with the vibes coming from this post...

Just please don't talk about how good of a ball handler he is or how he takes it hard to the rim.

Well however uncomfortable you were, you just increased the uncomfortableness level 10 fold.

There was only one Mark Vital. He actually could guard all five positions and give the guards fits. Caleb gives great effort but definitely could not slow down the UCLA guards, that being said, some of our guards couldn't slow them down either. Caleb is much better than Vital was offensively and seems to have gotten back his stroke on the 3 ball. Caleb can come close to matching Vital on the boards and gives great effort. He is really a presence on the boards. I love his overall game and he was a "great" acquisition.
