But damn that's a high release.

Looks very easy to block from behind.

Re: practice photos - It's weird seeing Jonas take shots from 10 feet out in non-running-hook form.

Come on bruh, those are clearly photoshopped.

it's simply that jonas isn't quick and experienced enough to be relied up at crucial stages of the game. his inability to defend the pick and roll consistently and his constant emotional wind-ups are risky. he's the one lithuanian that can be seen constantly showing his frustration when he doesn't receive the ball in the post, constantly waiving his hands in disapproval. he's the future of this team clearly, although he's still immature. in terms of his talent and ability, nobody is disputing that.

If he's supposed to be the future and only getting like 6 FGA's a game, he should be pissed. There seems to be a disconnect between his perceived role and his actual role.

Fun fact, Jonas has the best FG% in the whole tournament at 78.1% with Faried being second at 74.5%. If Jonas was shooting below 50% I would understand why the team is not going to him more, but now there's absolutely no excuse.

Lithuanian coach explained that they are indeed TRYING to play through Jonas and DMo, the problem is it doesn't always go according to plan for several reasons. One being the terrible issues Lithuania has with its PG position, and the other one the inconsistence of both Jonas and Donatas.

You can't judge everything from FG% since usually Jonas either scores a relatively easy bucket or loses the ball before even taking a shot attempt.

Really jonas averages two turn over per game this tournament.

2.4 turnovers per 21 minute to be exact. That's almost 5 turnovers PER40.

Take away one outlier game against Australia, where he made 5 turnovers, and he averages 1.7 per game, which isn't that bad.

Nasty dunk by Jonas.

[JV4MVP]

Dmo no 3s please

[Metal]

Wasn't this game supposed to be on live on NBATV Canada?

[JV4MVP]

NZL in foul penalty with 5 minutes left. Pound the post.

LOOOL Jonas just knocked down a long two and then did the Mutombo finger wag! HAHA

[pbj]

Jonas is ****ing with us, making those 18ft jumpers

[VanGuard]

Holy ****... Did anyone else saw that?

Sexiest long-two from a Raptors player in quite a while.

That was easily the play of the tournament. I love how NZ's player just ran to the basket once Jonas got the ball as well
