Jonas Valanciunas 11/12 Season Thread III

[ATLTimekeeper]

The only thing I can trust is my own evaluation and instincts. Besides there's no art or fun to this if someone doesn't do that. If you're too afraid to make your own opinions, what's the point?

Forming the correct opinion is better than forming a unique one. You haven't provided much of a basis for argument, other than Valanciunas has roughly the same shape and maybe haircut as some busts.

[Egg Nog]

If you multiply Hoffas rebounding rate by the cosine of Patrick OBryants minutes and then subtract Kwame Browns fouls, you will be left with Valanciunas's probable bust index.

The inverse of that number will allow you to vector plot Valanciunas's 1st, 2nd and 4th season.

Summing the above seasons and inversing the result using Greg Oden's differing leg length ratio as the numeric base will give you the duration that Valanciunas will stay in the league.

Superb.

I was hoping I'd see reply along these lines. You, my friend, delivered.

You okay back there Mufasa? Your arms must be getting awfully tired...

dont mess with Mufasa.. we all cant sugarcoat our players.. cause if Jonas turns out a bust, we'll all have to say: Sorry Mufasa, you were right all the time.. and he will answer: I told you so..

If Jonas turns out to be bust, we would say nothing to Mufasa, cuz what he is saying now doesn't make no sense aniway. Comparing some old college scrub to Jonas - GEEZ...

nope,this is not the first time Mufasa writes about Jonas..

Thats true...Mufasa is the only user on this forum who thinks Jonas V will be a bust....if he turns out to be correct, I think he should be elevated to Super Mod or Global Mod status....at the very least, a Raps Mod forum

And what if he turns out to be wrong? Should he be permabanned? Or is it only up from here for haters?

Mufasa said many wrong this but how can he claim he doesn't dominate LKL ? HE DOES. He's by far the best per - minute player in recent years. He doesn't need to play that much because most of the games are blowouts and he would've easily put up 20/12 in 34+minutes. The only team in LKL that he struggles a bit is Kauno Zalgiris - a Euroleague team which played extremely well during the last part of the season.

The second biggest mistake Mufasa made is that he said JV has a low bball IQ. That's just simply wrong as UcanUwill pointed out. Sure he's no Steve Nash, Larry Bird or Magic but the kid is no Javale Mcgee either. I would say his bball IQ is above average.

And plus he has only recently turned 20 years old while also showing improvement every year since he was 16. That has to count for something.

[FTW]

Not to mention Pumlee is almost 24 years old. As 20 years old he was averaging 2 ppg for duke. Jonas as 19 years old had double digits games against guys like Krstic/ Ibaka/ Kaman/ Brother Gasols.

I don't entirely disagree with Mufasa because I worry about Val's athleticism translating to a quicker/faster/longer NBA game, but it's stuff like this that makes me shake my head. Does anyone think Jonas at 24 wouldn't completely thrash the NCAA?
