If you're not sold on Jonas Valanciunas after watching this, you're on CRACK

[QUOTE=alenleomessi]really? :roll: wow...[/QUOTE]
Lol at the comparison, they have like NOTHING in common...

[QUOTE=Goliath Uterus]Kyrie Irving and Derrick Williams are still alive, so this guy definitely isn't worthy of the #1 pick, but yea he's pretty good[/QUOTE]

Derrick Williams doesn't seem worthy of a top 2 pick.

[QUOTE=Notorious D.M.C]Derrick Williams doesn't seem worthy of a top 2 pick.[/QUOTE]

He is in this draft. Most years, no.

Gather 'round children and let me tell you a tale of a player named Darko Milicic...

[QUOTE=El Seano]Gather 'round children and let me tell you a tale of a player named Darko Milicic...[/QUOTE]

I answer you with a tale of Dirk Nowitzki

[QUOTE=Clutch]That's why he was the MVP in Spanish league and First-team Euroleague ?

Somehow you say that every player from Europe who doesn't play very well in the NBA sucked.
It's not just Splitter,you say that for all of them.

Also you open many Euroleague > NBA threads so you probably want to make it seems like Euoleague is better than the NBA.

I'm also from Europe but please stop trolling[/QUOTE]

Splitter has always been a horrible offensive player. He is great defense and great at pick and roll on offense. Pretty good at rebounding. His individual offense is high school level and always has been.

You sure the hell don't live in Europe.

[QUOTE=JGXEN]No way he's going to back down NBA bigs like he did to those soft euros.[/QUOTE]

He does not back down any "Euros" in Euroleague genius.

[QUOTE=Funnyfuka]the players he plays against in this video are all like sticks.... in the nba most players are twice heavier than them. That's the problems with euros when they come in the nba; they re physically outclassed, whatever how skilled they are. The heaviest ones survive -gasol brothers, scola-[/QUOTE]

Like I said, he is playing against amateur and high school players there. That is not Euroleague competition. AND 90% of American high school players are skinny weaklings that are like toothpicks.

[QUOTE=Sakkreth]Your statement is retarded like you are. League has 2 euroelague teams and one eurocup team which finished only fifth this season in national league. It's not an elite league, but it's strong league in european context. U deserve a ban for having no respect for lithuanian basketball and throwing statements like that just to fit ur agenda.

Lietuvos Rytas (Valanciunas team) is played in Euroelague and VTB aswell, not only LKL, and Valanciunas was decent vs Euroleague teams aswell.[/QUOTE]

LKL is a POS league. Even the horrible, horrible, horrible NBA D-League is better.

Clown :oldlol:[/QUOTE]

Hey CLOWN, he is one of the worst defenders in the Euroleague. He gets easily thrown around by Euroleague big men. CLOWN.:lol :oldlol: :roll:

[QUOTE=LJJ]NBAdraft.net NBA comparison: Primoz Brezic. :facepalm Also: Jan Vesely - Mike Dunleavy; Jimmer Fredette - Mark Price (!!!)


When will NBAdraft.net be not racist and not retarded?[/QUOTE]

Every single person involved with nbadraft.net is extremely racist - so never.

Is this video a joke? The only thing about his game or build that even resembles an NBA talent is his length. He's got no hops, no physicality/weight, looks injury prone and he has nowhere near the raw basketball skills like other European-ers at that age such as Manu, Dirk or Gasol.

You dont watch LKL, do you?

hey tool, if LKL is so horrible, how did Valanciunas and his team beat almighty Euroleague champions PAO on their home floor?:cheers:

[QUOTE=CeltsGarlic]wtf[/QUOTE]
Oh sorry I forgot people on this forum don't even bother explaining themselves.

Can't wait to hear his answer, I'm going to go out on a limb and predict it will be something stupid.

I have watched him several times, there is no doubt he is the best player in this draft and you won't have to draft him #1 overall due to the American hype placed on the other players.

Cleveland could easily end up with the two best players in the draft, one at PG, the other at C, and be back to being a contender in three years.

Easily.

Another gem from no links yo.

Valanciunas should be PF in NBA.

This man knows what he's talking about. Props to him.

[QUOTE=Sakkreth]Valanciunas should be PF in NBA.[/QUOTE]
He'll be the best center/power forward hybrid in the league. I find it laughable people can't see how good this guy will be. :oldlol:

This guy has bust written all over him. He's weak, unskilled, unathletic. Only thing going for him is his length.

If he gets his hands on the magic NBA juice he'll be stronger and more athletic.

[quote=Basketball Dirk]If he gets his hands on the magic NBA juice he'll be stronger and more athletic.[/quote]

Ummmm no just no. He doesn't have the frame to put on any significant weight, he is RAIL THIN. As for his athleticism, barely gets any lift to the point he struggles to make oops. He looks like he has below average lane agility.

I don't think i've ever looked at a player and thought straight out bust like this guy.

I just hate RAW big men like Darko, Thabeet, and Oden so im going to riot if Raptors draft this kid
