hope so too, i'm kind of liking how he's flying a bit under the radar while most people are bitching and moaning about Fields, JJ and Jose

About that signed Jersey. It probably will be worth more later. I'm guessing that was the first Raptors Valanciunas jersey made and probably the first signature JV has put on anything Raptors related?

Let's be realistic, Valanciunas is not gonna be able to deal with better bigs for the whole game. The team will have a lot of problems under the basket...

I wouldn't be surprised if Jonas gets into foul trouble quickly and frequently as the starter.

He will do fine in some games and terrible in other, just like last year in Europe Championships. I expect to see him do fine more often then not though.

i dont think foul trouble, will be a huge concern, like some people are making it out to be, he just has to adjust to what's a foul in the nba, and stuff he can get away with, he'll be fine.

Raptors sign 2011 first round pick Jonas Valanciunas. Make sure you check out Lithuanian in Olympics. Scouts say he will be special in NBA.

If you add a smiley face that aptly describes your feelings at the moment it isn't needless.

Well, Paul Gasol started with 17ppg and 8rpg on his way to Rookie of the Year; can Jonas Match that?
That is my question!
