For some reason our fanbase has a love for scrubs and then later gets made when they aren't producing star numbers.

pathetic.

This organization is going to regret this for decades to come.

[BLKMASS]

from a marketing perspective this is just an insane pick. The last thing Colangelo needs to align himself with is another play that reminds people of bargnani. We have a logjam of skinny bigs, for some unknown reason. What we are really missing is a quarterback, and Colangelo failed to see that yet again. I am so done with this team.

Colangelo has a responsibility to do his job to the best of his abilities, he shouldn't be thinking about what (Please Use More Appropriate Word) 14 year olds think about his pick

LOL
+1

This guy is NOT Joakim Noah. Andris Biedrins maybe.

[redred9]

At Draftexpress, Jonas's best case scenario is Andre Biedrins meet Noah while worst case is Omer Asik, who many of you have wanted from the bulls. Whats not to like?

That's what's not to like.

a bigger framed, taller, more skilled Biedrins with no injury problems. That's what is to like.

[Nothingface]

Wicked. So happy.

Keep sucking that Colangelo Coolaid! 2 more years and hopefully the euro experiment will finally come to an end and we can be a real NBA franchise again.

Eat it haters.

Typical Euro hate. Have you even seen Valaciunas play?

the length and speed is pretty Noah-like.

well genius, comparisons are comparisons, they're not mirror images because no two players are really alike.

it's for to get an idea of what players can develop into, and before biedrins got injured he was a good hustle center. plus his weakness jonas has secured with 80%ft shooting..

Valaciunas can shoot free-throws. Biedrins bricks them.

[DonYon]

People that claim that are done with this team: PLEASE don't ever come back.

[Raptors_Dynasty]

Can I get a quick scouting report on this guy please? I don't know much about him.

Was this a good pick for us? Hows his defensive potential?

[STEELE_34]

They cant be serious.

most here havent even seen this kat play..


raps=another fail.

like i said with bustnani ill be here laughing in front of my tv.

[Tdot24]

Mark Jones: You told me that your game, is a little bit like Chris Bosh who used to play for the Toronto Raptors. How is it like Chris Bosh?

Jonas: I don't know.... ah ah ah.. I have... not so strong body.. I don't know.. ah ah ah I can move fast so...

LMFAO! Are you serious, BC? WTF!

Picture this:

EVERY aspect of basketball you can think a big man of having, his upside in that is at least above average, if not great.

[KG1585]

Casey said that Val was the Raps guy from the start.

[DG88]

Apparently from Casey Jonas was the guy the wanted the whole time

[jrsmith]

Casey sounds positive the buyout will be taken care of.

[disoblige]

his stats

2010-2011 STATS
PPG: 7.7
RPG: 5.8
APG: 0.2
SPG: 0.2
2P%: 70.8%
3P%: 0%
FT%: 88.5%


I approve.

[bboyskinnylegs]

Assuming he stays here, I think Jonas was the best pick with regards to Ed's future. A legit two-way C, which makes it very easy to move Bargs. With Bismack I got the feeling that Ed would likely be moved for a vet C. I hope things work out.
