Re: If you're not sold on Jonas Valanciunas after watching this, you're on CRACK
[QUOTE=fatboy11][B]Hard to be impressed with him from that clip. He's playing against a bunch of other stick figures. There's like 150 in the crowd. I'm guessing that's not even top level competition he's playing against. Just hard to take anything away from that.[/B] I've seen college players look better against bigger and better competition that are being projected much, much lower than this kid. I've seen Keith Benson play much more impressively than that against much better and physical competition, but he's rated as a 2nd rounder.
[B]Also, from that clip, I doubt seriously this kid weighs the 240 pounds he's listed at.[/B][/QUOTE]
Sometimes people just need to shut up when they don't know what they're saying.

[QUOTE=Sakkreth]That was bad video example first of all, second he just turned 19 week ago and is still quite raw.
Bit better video, but still not that good. I watch him a lot and those vids doesn't really show his real potential.

Re: If you're not sold on Jonas Valanciunas after watching this, you're on CRACK
From the video he looks like a less impacting 35 year old Tim Duncan.

That is much better than the OP video... MUCH better. After watching PB's video, I began to get very concerned that we might actually end up with that guy.
After watching this one, I feel a little better about him... Still not completely sold, though.

Your a Cleveland fan, what do you think of taking Kemba Walker at 4? I feel like he has the most star power in the draft.

Don't like it. First of all, we're going to take Irving No. 1, so Walker would make no sense at No. 4.
Secondly, he is an undersized combo guard. He is a good scorer, but I don't see him as a natural point... Which is what I really want. I would also worry about his defense on the NBA level.
I think that Brandon Knight has higher potential as a PG in the NBA.

This confirms it. I'm on crack.
Re: If you're not sold on Jonas Valanciunas after watching this, you're on CRACK
I was higher on this kid (from what I heard) before I watched that video.
He looks like a f*ckin still in the video (though the exciting highlights of him shooting free throws almost swayed me...).
PB, you suck.
Re: If you're not sold on Jonas Valanciunas after watching this, you're on CRACK
The LKL is a horrible level of competition. It is by far and away one of the very worst leagues in Europe - barely even at a pro level. This thread is retarded.
Re: If you're not sold on Jonas Valanciunas after watching this, you're on CRACK
[QUOTE=Dbrog]No offense...but I don't think this guy can be very effective in the NBA. Best case scenario Leon Powe? I mean, you look at Splitter highlights and coming in, people were saying he's a sure thing Scola-clone but with BETTER defense. Look how that turned out and I think Splitter is much much much better than Jonas.[/QUOTE]
Splitter always sucked in Europe. Whoever said he was better than Scola needs to be banned.

LKL and junior national team games.............in other words very, very low level of competition.
In the Euroleague (high level competition) he is below average on offense and horrible on defense. I like him and I think he will be a very good player in time, especially because he is a really good rebounder.
But as of right now he is just a project and nothing more. He would not even see the court in the Euroleague at all if his team was not trying to get a buyout for him.

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
