I can see it now...

Jonas game 1 - 6pts 3 rebs 2/7 shooting 4pf 15mins
RealGM: We're F*CKED!! FIRE BC! GAME OVER, WE NEED TO TANK

Jonas game 2 - 14pts 8rebs 6/8 shooting 5pf 2Blks 25mins
RealGM: JONAS IS OUR SAVIOUR!

I'm expecting 9ppg and 7rpg on 50% shooting in 19mpg. I'll be happy with that, and would be thrilled if he puts up better.

I'm a huge Jonas fan, searched EVERYWHERE for his Lithuania jersey but couldn't find it. I'm gonna just buy a White raptors jersey of his now. Enjoy the ride guys lol

NBA.com: "Valanciunas, seven-foot, 250 pounds, averaged..."

Nice.

250 seems rather generous, closer to 220 I think. B.C. has broader shoulders.

220? No way.

I'm 6"2 and have a somewhat skinny frame and I'm 205lbs. He's easily over 240lbs.

220?!

He was 245 at the U19 tourney last year. 250 at this point seems like a pretty reasonable estimate.

Casey said they weighted him recently and he was 248lbs

Except Mcgee gets chin-level with the rim when he jumps; Jonas, not so much.
