Valanciunas sucking

[MVP]

I literally do not understand how Val got so much hype..

3 gold medals and mvp titles in European and World U-18/19 plus total domination of team USA ( 30pts/15reb/4blk), two 36pts final games ( vs France and vs Serbia). Easy to see how.

Make no mistake,
JV is a young and promising player.
he deserves to be recognized for his succesful career and his talents.

still, Kanter kicks his "uknowwhat"

I predicted on real GM that Jonas would bust

Min 40 poss, the worst isolation defender was Jason Richardson (shocker). Then Valanciunas,Jamison,Gerald Green,Kaman.

2nd worst defender in league? That's ugly.

I'm worried Kanter will snap Valantwig in two this year.

Val did have a very good summer league though. He and Kanter will both get big minutes this season. It will be interesting to see who blossoms more.

Valanciunas will be playing in Eurobasket in September. So far reports from LT national team are impressive - he reported at 270lbs and appears to be much stronger and physical then last year. Summer league in Vegas MVP as well, 19pts, 10 reb. Dude looks to be on a mission.

Safe to say you were very wrong.

I'm hoping Val has a monster year, keeps Toronto out of the tanking picture.

Kanter is still better.

Would not be so sure. Coming after such serious injury like Kanter had might have some negative impact on his production this season. At any point it will be interesting to compare them this season when both are bond to get 30+ minutes a game.

I still like Kanter more but it's now a lot closer. JV did build up his body really well and has the edge experience wise.

Stupid Corbin!

It's hard to be JV. Since the 16-17's Kanter and him are being compared all the time and Kanter somehow always had the advantage and turned the heads because of the ridiculous stats he had put on the scoreboard using his beast strength against little kids. But he failed to play for about 2 years while Jonas played a great deal. I still think his ceiling is lower than Kanter, but he is trying hard. So what if he is a Euro-soft? Give the dude some time to learn his ups & downs and grow a game style upon it.
