TURKEY-FRANCE : FIirst game of the 2nd round
- Thread starter sepanol
- Start date
Agreed. Thompson with that pick? WTF?
Uhh...
Holy Hell .. and you gave me **** about Kanter being a good player. I never said anything remotely close to that ^^^^ right there. Good stuff.
Maybe you can find yourself an "I *heart* Jonas" snapback.

He stuffs Marc Gasol with ridiculous ease, then the next play he nails a jump shot just within the 3 point line. The jumper looked very smooth, was relatively quick, high release, and he shot it with confidence (looked just as good, if not better, than any jumper Kanter has shot so far). Call me crazy, but his jump shot form looks a lot like Pau Gasol's. He obviously has some range (prior to people thinking he might not, questioning how he would have been able to play alongside Favors).
That highlights I'm talking about start 49 seconds in.

He also reacted to hitting that jump shot like a little schoolgirl, fist pumping, not because it was late in the game for some huge game-winning shot mind you, but because it was one basket that closed the huge gap his team was in from 22-8 to 22-10. That speaks volumes to me. He's not use to hitting that shot.
Or maybe he was just excited to play in front of his home crowd? That is such a ridiculous statement I don't even know if you are being serious. Kanter and Valacunias are both players who have high motors and show a lot of positive emotion on the court. I can't believe you are going to trash him for trying to light a fire under his team's ***. His team were playing like they were scared and he came in and gave them some big plays and energy.

In Cyrone's defense he was one of the few Jonas supporters well before the draft and the U19s.

There are some real gems in this thread, from John Stockalypse citing Kanter does not like contact, and Colton calling Jonas Shawn Bradley

Jonas has good length, but his lift looks abysmal. I love his energy, aggression, and confidence. He also knows how to play with teammates better than Enes right now although Lithuania seems to run an offense once in a while and actually pass him the ball. I actually think Enes looks like a better athlete than Jonas. Jonas is a toothpick and when he adds weight it will not increase his vertical. I think we should hold off on prognosticating how many all-stars he will have (unless you find it amusing, that is), but he probably will be an efficient center . He's no Derrick Favors though and only has a 1" higher reach!

Sorry but getting that excited after closing it to 22-10 with a jump shot is weak and tells me he's not use to hitting it.
