The David Locke breakdown said that for a 7 footer he might be in the Bargnani scale for rebounding. I want him so bad!

Yes, but you need to add in Kleiza for some sugar and spice. Jose would be everything nice.

its like watching Euroleague, and we love euro basket

BC get it done

Terrible, RealGM doesn't even spell his name right. At least we know Donatas is driven to succeed--while all the other prospects are stressing out about measurements, workouts, and interviews---our boy is busy doing more complicated things--winning games.

The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if maybe he's intentionally trying to lower his draft stock so he falls to us at #5? :pray:

When I watch him play there's only one word that comes to mind: "Dynasty."

My first thought was that BC gave him a promise, but yours is an even more plausible theory.

He's just playing the same card as Kyrie Irving.
Understandable, Motie should be drafted ahead of Kyrie anyways, so if Kyrie doesnt work out, why should MotieDonut?

not many people agree with this way of looking at things but:

Chris Kaman: 7'0.5 + 6'11.75 (250)
Donatas Motiejunas: 7'0.5 + 6'11 (230)

Troy Murphy: 6'11 + 6'11 (250)
Zach Randolph: 6'10.25 +6'11 (255)
Blake Griffin: 6'10 + 6'11.25 (250)
Kevin Love: 6'9.5 + 6'11.25 (255)

i think kukoc may have had 6'11, and maybe 6'10 in height i'm guessing though.

..............
i once proxied him on the ps2 he played like what people thought boris diaw would be. a guy able to rebound lead the break and shoot inside outside and post up.
He gave up some boards because of arms but still had him at able to avg 20+8+ a couple assists.
But this was with a set up man and he knew his role as 3rd option. in real life he may be the 1st option on a losing team. maturity to handle losing in an 82 game season is a concern.

Anyways, do you guys see any resemblanmce to those guys? i think he's a sure bet at the 4

I don't necessarily take that as a bad thing. I think it kind of sounds like "Mountie-junas".

Mountie... Canada... Raptors are "Canada's team". I think RealGM knows what's up.

BC finally mentioned our boy today! He's been playing his cards close to his chest so far but his name popped out in the interview!

:rockon:

Basketball_Jones · Post #410 » by **Basketball_Jones** » Thu Jun 2, 2011 11:45 pm

What did he say, besides giggling like a little school girl while he was talking about him?

So are LeBron and Wade. You can't just sum him up in a single superstar.

I think because BC mentioned him. The assumption with BC is that everything he says is a smokescreen. As long as he wasn't mentioning Donut, it was obvious to everyone that we were drafting him.

Does this mean we might be able to snag him at 5?
