Except Jv's hands are about a foot behind his head, which unless you really want to heave it is not particularly good form for shooting.

I am not critisizing his shot, just that pic... I am assuming that isn't his regular form.

he's shooting like this when he does a little fadeaway in the post

his foul shots and middle range jumpers are different than this

I figured as much, but that is not a fade away he is attempting. Unless its a fadeaway 3 :) (again basing this only on the photo)

It was shot during warm ups, so whatever really.

The good thing about Valanciunas is that despite having a decent mid range he still prefers to score inside and close to the basket. He is the polar opposite of Motiejunas in that aspect. That's also why I believe him more than Donatas.

If Jonas gives us nothing else, it will be many seasons worth of photos with absolutely ridiculous facial expressions.

Gonna be good

He had one HUGE block at the rim that they haven't counted in the boxscore, it seems.

They did not count that monster block. Its so (Please Use More Appropriate Word).

Samardjiski is pretty poor center. Whenever he is on court Khimki makes a run.

How is that possible? It was clearly Valanciunas hand unless roberts hand suddenly turned white.

4 of their players have 3 fouls already. That's not going to be good for them in the second half.
