  • I didn't read anything negative there. EDIT: But then again, this article is 90% quotes. It's not really saying anything at all, lol.

      • His pronounciation might be better. I doubt his English is anywhere near Jose's though

        • That's true.

          By the way, this is very off-topic, but in my sig, did I get the Lithuanian right?

                  Interesting numbers and a possible wake-up call to all those 12 pts, 10 rbs, 2 blks in 25 minutes predictors.

                    Well gtranslate thought it right, but it should be "numeriu 17"

                    • No, the most accurate translation and fitting the subject matter would be 'septynioliktas numeris'...

                      Wait, what are we doing here again?..

                      Currently reading a local interview with JV about leaving Lithuania for NBA (I think it's today's).

                      • As unimpressive as eight, six and one sounds considering the hype of Jonas Mania, those numbers seem to be the rookie bench mark of a future All Star caliber NBA centre, and that’s exactly where most, including myself, see Valanciunas heading.
                        8/6 has been my expectation.

                          Seriously.

                          There were only 8 guys in the entire league who averaged a double double in pts and rebs last year.

                          • Jonas could use some post moves.

                            • I honestly see Jonas being an Amare Stoudemire-esque player, but much better defensively.

                              • I don't think he has as much explosiveness as Amare.

                                I imagine JV being somewhere in between Marc Gasol and Tim Duncan (at least explosiveness-wise).
