The Jonas Valanciunas Thread

Like this pick. Not gonna judge the guy before he has played a game, and certainly not gonna judge him on his English.

Can't believe Knight and Walker are falling this far. It's not only BC who thinks they are not worth this high a pick.

BC is taking a high risk by picking a Euro though. If this pick is not working out, all the blame will be placed on him.

JV is a solid pick.

He was the BPA yet people here still cry and whine.

Euro this, Euro that. GTFO!

Except Jonas isnt soft.

Don't bother. These fools don't know anything about Val.

maybe people haven't noticed this but most american players don't want to play in canada.. be happy with this guy, he's a loyal aggressive type that isn't anything like the typical european.

this stupid forum's obsession with backup point guards is hilarious

Will you guys STFU with this Euro experiment ****? We needed a C, after Kanter the best C was Val...add to the fact that Bayless is better than any of the PGs in this draft (outside of Irving) and all the better PGs are in Next years Draft...Austin Rivers anyone?

Remember the years of Jelani McCoy, Loren Woods, Hakeem, Tabak, Rasho and Bargnani as our starting 5?

Championship time baby!

maybe in the euroleague son!

Actually language is important for communication and such. Also you think Demar's gonna stick around when half the team is euro and can't make friends with him because he doesn't know english? Demar would have fun with knight, now weems is gonna get the boot and demar will dip. Other than that great pick if he can bulk up.

Really like the pick. Valanciunas is a very good offensive and defensive rebounder, has freakishly long arms, can score in pick-and-roll, and he is anything but lazy. The transition to the NBA won't be easy for him, but he has serious potential.

Not hating the pick, not loving the pick...I see why there is hate for Euro's though.

A steal for sure - you know if the Raps took Jonas here over Knight, they had to have rated higher than Enes as well - 3rd overall on their board.

Yes good pick.

Det has Greg Monroe, why would they need Jonas? Live with the pick man. Who knows he will turn out better then Crapnani.

Are you happy with the Raptors selection 5th overall?
