Is Nick Nurse an idiot too?
It's possibility. Some teams would use JV in PO for a little role. However, he can't guard p'n'r, can't step up, let alone switch everthing. I have high doubts there will be such team which will want JV.LTU NT will snatch Eurobasket 2029 title with this roster:
Jokubaitis, Marciulionis, Laurencikas
Indrusaitis, Brazdeikis, Rubstavicius
Buzelis, Lelevicius
Murauskas, Sirvydis
Tubelis, Krivas

Was Nick Nurse or Masai Ujiri (GM that is being fished by other teams at the moment) an idiot trading JV for veteran Gasol? Don't be two-faced, answer the question, it was you just in an hour trying to unmask Lithuanian winners Why the hell JV was traded if he's that good as you say?

And they were doing just fine with JV on the team too before he was traded, so it's not like they were losing left and right when they finally decided to pull a plug on a trade Gasol is yet another piece on their team and he doesn't even score nowadays, so whatever he gives them defensively is negated when they go 4 vs 5 offensively lolLTU NT will snatch Eurobasket 2029 title with this roster:

2019/2020 nba
Domantas Sabonis aver. 34min 18pts+13,4reb+4asist+0.6bl on 51,3% PER:20,22
Jonas Valanciunas aver. 25min 14pts+9.9reb+1,9asist+1bl on 57,6% PER: 20,38
by PER (player efficiency rating ) both our players makes nba top 40. Btw Giannis and Luka is nr.1 and nr.2 on that list good times in nba for europeans.
stats per 36min
Domantas Sabonis 18,9pts+14,1reb+4,1asist+0.6bl
Jonas Valanciunas 20,2pts+14,2reb+2,7asist+1,4bl
the only similiar stats i could found in same season of 2 lithuanians was back in 1997/1998
Arvydas Sabonis aver. 32min 16pts+10reb+3asist+1,1bl on 49,3%
Zydrunas Ilgauskas aver. 29min 13,9pts+8.8reb+0,9asist.+1,6bl on 51,8%
the diffrence back than both Arvydas and Zydrunas was more less not part of our NT.When Domantas and Jonas is huge part of our NT.Last edited by Shawshank; 12-24-2019, 07:53 AM.

So after 10 games in G league, we can make few remarks about Ignas brazdeikis. In 31,5min he scores 19,3ppg, grabs 6,4rbs. I really like his inside game, he's tough, versatile and crafty. In some situations he utilizes his off right hand perfectly, just as in this video I share, when he needs to go to his right from the defender. I can live with 47% from 2pts rage, but I would love to see better accuracy from three- 32%. He can surely shoot better, but he takes some wild shot, step back shots way beyond the line, he just has to look for more reasonable shots. I find his rebounding rate pretty nice, specially that he spends a lot if time in the perimeter. However, only 1.6 assists seems not good enough. To me, he's too wild of an offensive player and too shaky defender, but it's a process I guess. Hard evaluate his G league performance, but at scoring he stands at 27 spot in the league, best scorer scores 24.9ppg so it's surely not China league if some got that impression.LTU NT will snatch Eurobasket 2029 title with this roster:
Jokubaitis, Marciulionis, Laurencikas

Jonas finally played dominant game againts his nemesis Baynes 30 pts+8reb+4ssist
His tandem looks like nice with Morant and Grizzlies winning lately, even when not winning loosing big leads that's showing their potential of young team.
In interviews after game we can see what Jonas says he kinda is grown up in the room in that team .This will help his leadership skills no doubt, he never had such role.
Valanciunas is becoming mature player at peak of his powers right now.With all abilities+ experience and strong mentality.
Jonas shoots 3 pointers without thinking if his open nice to see that.Right now Valanciunas becoming best shooting big we have.
His jumpshoot mechanism is slow, but very soft not bricks.

Somehow surprised Sabonis stands only 9th forward in the East by fans voting. When we finally have truly worthy guy to make an All star game, our fans are sleeping. I admit I gave my first vote only today somehow, but at least I did. Maybe Liths are active, just China's kiddos messing around, voting for Tacko Falls and some other scurbs, who knows.LTU NT will snatch Eurobasket 2029 title with this roster:
