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

I'm not sold on him.

Just doesn't look like he can have much of an impact in the NBA...

No way he's going to back down NBA bigs like he did to those soft euros.

Wow, that Euro basketball was pretty hard to watch. Its like no one out there knew what the **** they were doing. And there was like seven people there. Thats better than the Heat but still....

[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 [B]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.[/B][/QUOTE]Splitter was actually a baller whenever he played and did everything he was doing in Europe, here in the NBA. Beautiful passer, can run the floor, sets great screens, plays perfect pick-n-roll d and help d, and altered shots everywhere in the paint.

He just didn't get any ****ing playing time. Averaged like 9mpg. :facepalm

The same crackhead who said the Cavaliers would 55 games this season without LeBron. :oldlol: When will you ever learn? :facepalm

[QUOTE=Euroleague][B]Splitter always sucked in Europe.[/B] Whoever said he was better than Scola needs to be banned.[/QUOTE]

Well, i choose the crack.

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-

Damn it, Ive been clean for a year and I have apparently relapsed.

He won't be in the Nba for years because of some contract issues. Cavs can't risk not having a player drafted at 1 or 4 and not having him on roster next season. I don't want a Rubio so F him

I believe he can become a good nba player, but that video did less than convince me.

[QUOTE=Euroleague]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.[/QUOTE]

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=Maga_1]Sometimes people just need to shut up when they don't know what they're saying.[/QUOTE]

What have I said that's false?

That the crowd looked sparse?
That there was a bunch of skinny guys out there?
That he doesn't look like he weighs 240 pounds?
That the level of competition shown in that video is not likely top level competition?

There are videos like this EVERY year on Euro players that make them look good and they never turn out to actually be good. Not sold until I see him perform in the NBA.

Except this one didn't even make the player look that good.

I guess Im on crack then?
