Jonas doesn't have an nba C body now and will take years for him to get there. Very thin, not agressive, horrible pick in general. Icing on the cake is he can't even come over next year. Colangelo's euro panzy team is actually taking steps back from winning 22 games somewhow. Wow.

Re: The Jonas Valanciunas Thread
The Valaciunas hate are just Euro stereotype. Valaciunas plays nothing like Bargnani. He rolls to the basket, he fights down low for offensive rebounds, and blocks shots. I suggest you guys watch him play before you hate.
Basketball is like poetry in motion, cross the guy to the left, take him back to the right, he's fallin back, then just J right in his face. Then you look at him and say, "What?" - Jesus Shuttlesworth

Val is BPA and fills a NEED. What's there to hate? Have you ever watched him play?

STFU
I don't understand the hate. Really he can be a solid to really good C in this league, fans don't even want to give him a freaking chance cause he is a European...he is a C and we are tanking next years anyways.
Brandon Knight will be a solid player at best in his career and Jerryd Bayless is by far better than him and was at his age.

Re: The Jonas Valanciunas Thread
So happy for this pick! Val was the right choice at our spot in this draft.
For those that are hating because of his English and nationality need to gtfo. Learning another language has nothing to do with his ability as a baller.
This is a huge asset for us, it helps us in the future much more so than Knight. Also, looking at the 2012 draft we'll be able to pick up a guard or a forward.
BC showed balls with this pick and I commend him for it. Val was the BPA and fills a huge need. We should all be very very happy.

the only people upset about the pick are retards whining because he's from Europe, they're probably pre-teens who have their internet monitored by daddy.

Me neither. The hate Valanciuas is getting are just typical Europen stereotype. I can bet none of these haters have seen him play. Val is a great rebounder and shot blocker. The opposite of Bargnani.

JV is a solid pick.

Euro this, Euro that. GTFO!
