That's a terrible comparison.... Vick is extremely long and has hops that Langford would have longed for. Langford was strong, where Vick is clumsy and weak. Langford was an incredible defender and good passer, which Vick is not even close on either account. Vick is a much better pure shooter than Langford was (Until Langford developed a passable shot as a Senior)... Neither were extremely quick with the ball in their hands, so that's about the only thing I can come up with.
If you're simply meaning they're both fringe NBA guys that will make a good living overseas, then yeah... that's about all that would remind one of the other.
Vick still has an opportunity to develop some of those skills and (as I previously said) blow up the stat sheets to force his way into the draft.
