No doubt. In my opinion he can be very good shooter from midrange, better than BigZ. Sometimes he shoot from 10-16 ft, and shoot good.This season he shooting more and more from mid. I would like to remind he shoot from three throw over than 80 procents.

People seem to be easily pushing him off the block. I think his upper body is much weaker than his lower body. Just needs a little muscle up top and watch out world!

Ten boards is tough to average unless you can get fairly heavy minutes. I'm not sure he's going to get 35 minutes a night. More likely closer to 25.

Do you think Jonas will start for us opening night? Or, do we go out, and sign an adequate (certainly better than Gray or Magloire) C in Free Agency?

UcanUwill · Post #28 » by **UcanUwill** » Wed Feb 1, 2012 4:17 am

Theres should be a signing. As a Jonas fan, I have no problemo with him starting, but to be fair, he should not start from day one. I am starting to worry, some fans here sure has huge and unrealistic expectations.
Omer Asik would be a great signing.

Absolutely. He'd be at the top of my list, that's for sure. I think it'll be real interesting to see whether Bulls' owner, Jerry Reinsdorf, would be willing to go into the luxury tax, and to what extent, considering that Taj Gibson is also an RFA this summer. They have decisions to make.

which centers would you take over JV's potential?

any of Marc Gasol, Bynum, Gortat, Nene, DJordan, Hibbert, Joakim Noah?

I don't think I would take any of them over JV right now. There is an excitement that comes with a new guy, with a lot of potential.

If I had to pick one of them, it'd probably be Hibbert, because he has the best all-around game, and is the least injury prone.

UcanUwill · Post #35 » by **UcanUwill** » Wed Feb 1, 2012 6:14 am

I take Bynum and hes the only guy from that list I take. He is injured all the time, But its Bynum, cant say No to him.

Don't think Jonas should start for Raptors from day 1.
I think you guys have to be patient with him, it will take some time to adapt

Cant wait to see the pick and roll with Boy-Bay and Jo-Bro

I think if we land Andre Drummond, he would be a magnificent pairing with Val.

Assuming they both reach their full potential, those are building blocks for a contender.

The crowd noise/chanting in those highlights is awesome, very soccer-like. I'd love to be able to watch a international game like that in person.
