Finally they find JV inside and he gets an easy dunk. Credit for the pretty pass though.

Why do people act like this kid is any good, he looks horrible, no way he is the 2nd pick in this years draft

What do you base this on? 2 games? They're not even involving him in the game right now.

He's the youngest player on a team ranked 5th in the world battling for Olympic qualification - he's not going to get plays run for him. But if they qualify for the Olympics the experience will be beneficial.

I think he should play for Summer League, hes being wasted in the Olympics. The guy can't even establish position against Ike Diogu.

Yes If they want to guarantee going through to the knock out stage. Mind you, If they were to lose it would still have to be by 20 points to not go through. Still they want the better seeding in the knock outs.

Jonas is a career backup, all we should expect from this kid is 6 fouls

Quick question: Roughly how many games did Valanciunas play for Rytas this season?

Just intrigued if you have the faintest idea.

Aminu has 8 pts in 2 quarters and the announcers think he's playing like Kobe Byrant :lol:

I could care less how man games he played, every time I see this guy play against Men he has looked pathetic, I would start Jamal Maglorie over this kid
