The Raptors will likely take one of the Euro players with this pick. I know Motiejunas isn’t rated as high, but I think he fits better. There also appear to be less questions involving his buyout, making him a safer pick for the Raptors.

Only way this happens is if Primo Pasta buys OTPP's stake in MLSE and forces Colangelo's hand.

I got word from a very reliable source about Donatas measurements. We're looking at an 11 foot wingspan and a 12 foot standing reach. He also ran the 100 m dash in under 8 seconds.

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

What should we call him then? Donatas Motiejunas? That means I have to copy & paste his whole name everytime writing about him, so screw that f no.

Imposible.


What u talking about man, Donut has "better than Dirk" level potential. If you think Dirk is awesome when he's shooting off balance jumpers, think of Donut shooting off balance jumpers with his eyes close. 8-)


If we can teach Donut to not focus on rebounding like Dirk then the potential there for him to be better, however it depends on the coaching.

I don't trust Jay to develop Donut properly, he will make him rebound in practice and guard guys like Davis which is a waste of his time and talent.

Incorrect

Proxy motiejunas killed it on my 2K simulator. of course it was 2K8 but...

Strengths: shooting over guys, pick and pop, trailer, adequate team defense, off/defawareness, potential
weaknesses: man 2 man defense, rebounding (stems from short arms)
*bad attitude in real life
sound about right?

Some good news today guys. With Chad Ford saying Vesley is very high on the board for Colangelo at number 5, this only means that he is looking to trade up into the top 2 in order to grab Donatas. Minnesota may not keep their pick. That means the three headed monster of Vesley/Bargs/Donatas can become a reality. If anybody can (and actually wants to do it) Bryan Colangelo is that man.

I don't know man. Donuts might just go #1. BC is probably underrating him because he is a euro.

For those that says donut is too skinny and won't be able to compete in the NBA:
Take a look at this immaculate body:

Damn, this body is chiseled in the image of a greek god.
Ain't nothing a few donuts can't solve.
