Man, Jonas didn't get a single touch on offence. Lithuania seems very perimeter oriented.

I agree he is way more fluid, way better passer, and should be used in the post. I wanted him to become a post player, instead of chucking 3s.
But he is no better than JV in the post. JV's game is simple and not overly skilled, but he is far more effective player. D-Mo always lacked good finishing ability, and his release point is wack. He has moves, but percentages are not on his side, and thats what matters at the end.

Finland will likely beat this Russia, they even lost to Czech Republic who got their ass handed by Finland. At this point they're horrific, although they will likely get better as Eurobasket comes.
