Jonas has one of the best touches around the rim among all basketball players I would say. It goes in every time, it looks like the net just sucks the ball in.

73 - 63 rytas wins


Next game should be interesting - arch-rival Zalgiris on Thursday, but no Sonny. He's out for the season.

Tough time of year, they are in the VTB playoff, Eurocup play-offs, this Baltic Basketball final four and their Lithuanium league regular season still in play, really tough to follow. Speaking of Sonny hes back in NA be neat to see him show up in the ACC or in Toronto

That Valanciunas story doc makes him seem like the second coming...but from what I have seen so far he seems like he will only be a perennial starter who might avg a double double in the NBA.

Btw it's nice that a Lithuanian won this award 2nd time in a row 8-)

Good news! But the previous winners don't inspire too much hope:

Previous winners of the Rising Star award:
2010-11 Donatas Motiejunas - Benetton Basket
2009-10 Victor Claver - Valencia Basket
2008-09 Milan Macvan - KK Hemofarm

All of them can turnout pretty decent players. But yeah, Valanciunas is the most talented of them all.

What's funny is that I had lunch with Terrence Ross' agent yesterday. We talked about every possible scenario. Toronto never came up.
