    I hope someone will make a youtube mix of big Val in this tournement.
    I think the only clips that would be available would be after the group stage.

      Apparently Val lost it in the locker room after the US loss...“crying and punching walls”. This guy will be a legend in TO simply on attitude.

      So it looks like the best of next season will be watching Euroball to see Val and Weems develop and watch the top prospects in the NCAA...the real season (if any) is almost a sideshow at this point.

            You mean he didnt pull a Bosh crumble & wail in the hallway? Imagine a softy euro punching walls and getting emotional about a loss.

            I hear Kanter has been selected for the Turkish team for the Eurobasket tournament this summer. Itll be interesting to watch JV go up against him then.

              Not too much has been made of the fact that he can hit his free throws as well .. but its rare these days for a guy his size to be able to hit from the FT line with such consistency. That'll only be a good thing when he gets to the league.

              The fact that he cares about winning, and brings 110% effort every night is only a bonus. haha

                Draft Express just tweeted that the only C to play this good in the U-19 tournament that he can think of is Andrew Bogut.

                Nice.

                  Tim & Sid put together a nice Tally of all of Jonas games, with Video Highlights and Commentary on each game.
                  Nice point of reference.

                    Bogut average was more impressive then Val (26 points and 17 rebounds), however when Gasol played in 1999 he wasn't very good (only 5.3 points and 3.5 rebounds). There have been players that had good numbers under 19 Fiba tournements but ended up not making it to the NBA so lets hold our breath and calm down and see how Val does against real men.

                    By the way do you know who was the scoring leader of the tournement the year Bogut won the MVP? it was non other then Linas Kleiza who averaged 29 points a game.
