Really, really did not think the Cavs would pass up on him.
This is a good pick for Toronto!
Wonder how far Knight will drop. Trade for a second pick?

Ridiculous.
Exactly.
Basketball is like poetry in motion, cross the guy to the left, take him back to the right, he's fallin back, then just J right in his face. Then you look at him and say, "What?" - Jesus Shuttlesworth

Watch him be a bust and everyone will know BC sucks at drafting.

Re: The Jonas Valanciunas Thread
I like the pick, he was second on my board just after Kemba, this guy has great length and a solid frame, he has a year to develop in Europe to get bigger and stronger.

Re: The Jonas Valanciunas Thread
Great we're suppose to wait another 5 years for a player to pan out only for them to become mediocre. I don't really mind him but I have a feeling BC is envisioning a Bargnani/Valaciunas frontcourt changing the face of the NBA.

Re: The Jonas Valanciunas Thread
I've learned to not rush to judgments on drafted players. The very large majority of us do not know more than the scouting team, so I don't know how everyone rushes to label it a bad pick or bust.

For all the people saying they're done with the team: please don't come back when Val is a key cog years down the road.
Honestly, even if we picked Kawhi Leonard I would have continued to watch.

What the ****. Valaciunas will stay in this league. Guys who can play defense will have a niche.

I've wanted him for a while now - even over Biyombo - but didn't think he'd be available at 5. Best fit for us, hands down.
Dagger was right all along
Haven't you heard a rumor that Dagger is indeed BC in disguise?
