Jason Quick of CSN NW reported news of a Noah Vonleh shoulder strain on Sept. 22. He will miss training camp and will “likely” miss two weeks of the regular season.

Vonleh could have started to open the season; now Al-Farouq Aminu may be the best replacement.

Because Meyers Leonard disappointed last season, Vonleh lined up for more run at the backup four position before becoming a starter.

In a swift turn of the tables, Meyers should assume the position while Noah is sidelined.

He spent the offseason working hard with renowned trainer Drew Hanlen.
