Houston did very well in this draft... this guy looks legit, and Chandler Parsons has a complete game. People say he doesn't do anything great, well, he can hit 3's, pass better than most guards, attacks the glass for rebounds, and is unselfish. He's also more athletic than people think, watch a few of his dunks that can be found on youtube. The Wolves could have had Josh Smith for the number 2 pick. Kahn must have been huffing paint. However, the Wizards did quite well. Vesely is a stud.
Damn, his hair doesn't look promising! He could need a comb...
I think he will be a great player in the NBA though, absolutely. He could average about 18 and 9 or something, maybe even better if he gets drafted by a really bad team.
@pgestradasp1 I hope Morey snatches him up. He is the real deal. He has a very sweet touch from short to long range. He can take it to the basket and also can post up with some nifty moves. He has good hands, good lateral quickness, and good ballhandling skills. He's a very nifty passer and can rebound well in traffic- perfect for the NBA. Furthermore, he is a very good shot blocker which means he is not afraid to mix it up with the bigs down low. He might be an advanced young Dirk Nowitki.

i think this guy was better than bargnani when he was coming into the draft he actually can post up and use someother moves tht bargnani couldnt the only reason why he is 7th is cuz of a strong draft class
@2221alex The 2006 draft at least had Roy, Gay, Rondo, Aldridge and Redick. Apart from J.J., these are all (future) All-Stars and the franchise players of their respective teams. I don't see much potential for that in this draft
@TheEphixx That was how 2009 was too... Everyone thought it was going to be a shitty draft class, aside from Griffin.... Look at B. Jennings, S. Curry, T. Evans, DeRozan....They're respective players, who have incredible potential. They've shown it for 2 years now.... So don't judge a draft untill AFTER the rookie year of their class.
Calling Bargnani a bust is stupid right now... never heard of a bust having a 41-point game and averaging 21.9 points for the season. Milicic continues to show steady improvement. IMO, Montiejunas has the tools to excel in the NBA, it's just a matter of being drafted by the right team.
No Good players ever from Europe? I'll list a few, Tony Parker, Dirk, Manu Ginobilli, Sabonis, Toni Kukoc, Pau and Marc Gasol, Vlade Divac, Kirilenko, Okur. Sure they're Lebron or Kobe, but they're solid-good players, mostly big man and dirk is one of the best PFs
He's going to pull out of the draft most likely. Doesn't matter he is too small to be a defensive force for anyteam. He would be another Memo Okur at best. Big guy who can hit 3s.
Way underrated! Even in this deep draft Motiejunas should be a top 6 or 7 pick. Most mock drafts have him lower but I think the decision makers for NBA teams know his true value.
@NBAdraftRoomcom Yes, but you also have to consider the needs of the other teams, it's not like he's a John Wall (disregarding the position) who anyone will pick regardless of the position they need. He will suit best with the Rockets though, at pick 11.. The Rockets badly need support for Yao Ming. They've never really had a good back up for him. That's if Yao Ming will play this season.
Future Memphis Grizzly, big man who can handle the ball as well as shoot from any where on the court. He would really open things up for Zach, Rudy, Mayo, and Conley.
Obviously you don't know a single thing about Lithuanian players or to put it widely East European prospects. Sabonis at his age wasn't bigger than Motiejunas, as well as Ilgauskas looked so thin while being 18, but than they became tough centers. Motiejunas actually might end up as PF for NBA with his versatility, but he's already stronger than he is this video. I think you guys stuck with NCAA where players filling up while being the kinds.
@IggyBernotas oh did i hurt your feelings lol you mad lol ...this guy will be riding the bench in the NBA until his ass gets sent back to the euro league, he's playing in a league that lacks defense once he gets to the NBA and he starts facing real defense you'll soon see he's not cut out for the NBA....his post up game it screams soft ...remember Aleksandar Radojevic ? look him up haha this guy will be joining in the where are they now files real soon lol

@mikeyjames:,"he gets to the NBA and he starts facing real defense"
ahahahahahahah real defence ? you got to be kidding me ... If there's something that most NBA teams don´t have, that is defensive skills or technique ...
I'm a fan of NBA, but common, defense isn't that good ...
@TheHumanJumper dude this guy is the next Aleksandar Radojevic, darko, roko ukic lol....they all look good in Europe playing against slower players then they come to the nba and crumble like cheap cement , the difference between this guy and players like rasho who made a solid carreer is rasho learn to play inside, rebounding and a good mid range jumper, this guys post up game looks weak ass hell, you really think he'll be blowing by players like that in the nba lol get the fuck out of here
@zygis16 dude shut your ass up, look how many Europeans that has played on the rapters a Canadian nba team, fact is only a handful of these guys make it in the nba lot of guys come from to Europeto the nba and can't keep up with the faster more nba ready players from the ncaa, its a fucking fact your dumbass, remember darko he was the next big thing coming into the nba but he crumble alot of Euro players are soft and one thing you cant teach is toughness. now shut your faggot ass up bitch boy
cristiano9 yea there's some good ones but thats only a handful, a lot of them are soft and dont know how to play a lick of defense all they how to do is shoot 3s , you have 7 foot euros shooting 3 but don't know how to box out and grab rebounds, its useless having a center or pf that stays behind the line all game, winning starts with defense and a lot of these euro players don't know how to play inside they just park it behind the 3 point line while the other team out rebound there team.
@zygis16 stop crying bitch boy lol this guy is fucking trash euro trash at that hahahaha NBA is a real men not a bunch of sissy European girly men not shut the hell bitch boy lol
@mikeyjames how am i crying? dumb shit canadians don't have any sport except hockey lol.. cock sucker toronto raptors can't play worth shit either, they're a basically a european team, i still don't know what you're trying to prove.
another soft European! i hope the raptors don't pick this guy, yes he's good shooter but he does not rebound for his size, we don't need another big man that does not rebound ......he can work on teams like the lakers,Boston or the cav's where he doesn't have to do much work inside but we don't need any more soft Europeans on this team that we have to baby sit like brags....
watching this guy is like watching a next nowitzki... compare to bargnani, this guy can be a future allstar and he got that body movement like pro unlike bargnani's body movement... very stiff
I mean its crazy that 6'6 Chuck Hayes and 6'6 Jason Maxiell can play C, but they're both pretty thick. If you're strong and don't give up post position, with some talent and effort you can play the C position. Donatas would get eaten alive now, and probably 2-3 years from now too.
This kid can't play C in the Association - too thin. Maybe a stretch PF or even SF. Sacramento's got a SF that's 6'10, Detroit has 6'11 Austin Daye at SF. Look for these really thin, tall, lanky dudes like Donatas to start playing wing positions.
That's nothing, cause they played against team that is being trashed by 100 points (youngsters playing), but he had 18 points and 7 or 6 rebounds in close win by 2 points in the last game. So he's doing good lately.
I think what you guys missing here it's his perfect penetration ability (thanks to perfect foot work) while being 213cm and his quickness. You're talking about his shot, but it's not his main weapon. This guy is really quick and can go any way he likes (despite he's lefty), can make lay up with any hand. I imagine him getting so many players into foul trouble, and he can surely nail his FT.
Sure, his defence is an issue, no doubt, but he's still one of the most interesting versitale prospects
Hmm, I like this guy. Since the bull just got a 1st rounder from the bobcats maybe we can get lucky again and pick him up. I like this guy's personality, you don't usually get international players with swag. He's like Dirk but with personality and better footwork (dirk was clumsy when he first came)
he'snot nearly as established offnsively as dirk. And he has yet to bang with anyone bigger than 250 and use his jump hook and fadeaway(which are his two only offensive moves). He doesn't rebound well but can become a good rebounder. His defense is just crap, I would rather have jameer nelson guard who he guards. This guy can turn into the next Darko.
You know how useful a fadeaway is??? Its one thing to have one if you're a big man with no range. But its another thing to have one when you're a spot on shooter with consistent 3 point range like this guy is. I can't believe you ignored the fact that this guy is an excellent jump shooter. Even if he never develops any big man play what so ever, he can still be effectively used as a roll playing shooter... instant offense. The fact that he has potential as a big man is just icing on the cake.
All You said is true. I'm Lith, I know much about him. His defense is crap, poor rebounder, absolutely non blocker. He can made a 3 pointer, but Duncan can do it too you know.. His shot is overrated at this moment. Course he looks to became into o good shooter, but he is not a sniper already. His character- he is not grey, he's like Ricky Davis. Far away from the same Darko at this moment, what he would do in the NBA, he has cheerleader's body.NBA fans, better keep your eyes on Jonas Valanciunas
man idk bout him its like a couple of post before me amare would make a joke of him cuz i think there are a lot of guards that he can post ........im a kings fan .....he cant post tyreke at this point of his career lol it could go both ways tho if he gains like 25 pounds 15-20 being solid muscle then he will be a problem in the league ...in a good way but if he does he wont have a huge im pack but from what i see ........ he might score but idk bout his scoring cuz 19 isnt that great
@chip916916 He's def not gonna be a post guy anyway (at forst at least) I imagine he'll be a good shooter and maybe he can develop a shot off the dribble.
He couldn't overpower Xavier Henry, which leads to me thinking that Amare Stoudemire will make a joke out of this kid. He needs to get stronger. I don't see that happening no time soon because Euro-born players never do. Is it their genes?
@Serene2012 stop your euro bashing bs -look at his age first -ofcourse he is long term project now and he's about 3 years away from being able to bang in NBA -but he'll gonna be good
i could easily say something racist.......but unlike you I'm not a complete idiot.........remember just because you're black..doesn't mean..you cant be racist.....asshole.

cristiano9 yea there's some good ones but thats only a handful, a lot of them are soft and dont know how to play a lick of defense all they how to do is shoot 3s , you have 7 foot euros shooting 3 but don't know how to box out and grab rebounds, its useless having a center or pf that stays behind the line all game, winning starts with defense and a lot of these euro players don't know how to play inside they just park it behind the 3 point line while the other team out rebound there team.

another soft European! i hope the raptors don't pick this guy, yes he's good shooter but he does not rebound for his size, we don't need another big man that does not rebound ......he can work on teams like the lakers,Boston or the cav's where he doesn't have to do much work inside but we don't need any more soft Europeans on this team that we have to baby sit like brags....

I mean its crazy that 6'6 Chuck Hayes and 6'6 Jason Maxiell can play C, but they're both pretty thick. If you're strong and don't give up post position, with some talent and effort you can play the C position. Donatas would get eaten alive now, and probably 2-3 years from now too.
JohnnyTiDo 1 year ago
This kid can't play C in the Association - too thin. Maybe a stretch PF or even SF. Sacramento's got a SF that's 6'10, Detroit has 6'11 Austin Daye at SF. Look for these really thin, tall, lanky dudes like Donatas to start playing wing positions.

That's nothing, cause they played against team that is being trashed by 100 points (youngsters playing), but he had 18 points and 7 or 6 rebounds in close win by 2 points in the last game. So he's doing good lately.

@ExtrinsicOne He can be a decent nba center, its more about the calibre of players he was drafted over.... wade, carmelo etc.
hellblade23 1 year ago
I think what you guys missing here it's his perfect penetration ability (thanks to perfect foot work) while being 213cm and his quickness. You're talking about his shot, but it's not his main weapon. This guy is really quick and can go any way he likes (despite he's lefty), can make lay up with any hand. I imagine him getting so many players into foul trouble, and he can surely nail his FT.
Sure, his defence is an issue, no doubt, but he's still one of the most interesting versitale prospects
amfiboliskas 1 year ago
Hmm, I like this guy. Since the bull just got a 1st rounder from the bobcats maybe we can get lucky again and pick him up. I like this guy's personality, you don't usually get international players with swag. He's like Dirk but with personality and better footwork (dirk was clumsy when he first came)
blacklite911 2 years ago
he'snot nearly as established offnsively as dirk. And he has yet to bang with anyone bigger than 250 and use his jump hook and fadeaway(which are his two only offensive moves). He doesn't rebound well but can become a good rebounder. His defense is just crap, I would rather have jameer nelson guard who he guards. This guy can turn into the next Darko.
goldenstateketchup 2 years ago
You know how useful a fadeaway is??? Its one thing to have one if you're a big man with no range. But its another thing to have one when you're a spot on shooter with consistent 3 point range like this guy is. I can't believe you ignored the fact that this guy is an excellent jump shooter. Even if he never develops any big man play what so ever, he can still be effectively used as a roll playing shooter... instant offense. The fact that he has potential as a big man is just icing on the cake.
blacklite911 2 years ago
this guy has no outside shot, did you know that?
He shoots midrange jumpers well, but for some reason that's about it. I guess the most he will end up as is a skinny Okur
goldenstateketchup 2 years ago
All You said is true. I'm Lith, I know much about him. His defense is crap, poor rebounder, absolutely non blocker. He can made a 3 pointer, but Duncan can do it too you know.. His shot is overrated at this moment. Course he looks to became into o good shooter, but he is not a sniper already. His character- he is not grey, he's like Ricky Davis. Far away from the same Darko at this moment, what he would do in the NBA, he has cheerleader's body.NBA fans, better keep your eyes on Jonas Valanciunas

man idk bout him its like a couple of post before me amare would make a joke of him cuz i think there are a lot of guards that he can post ........im a kings fan .....he cant post tyreke at this point of his career lol it could go both ways tho if he gains like 25 pounds 15-20 being solid muscle then he will be a problem in the league ...in a good way but if he does he wont have a huge im pack but from what i see ........ he might score but idk bout his scoring cuz 19 isnt that great
chip916916 2 years ago
@chip916916 He's def not gonna be a post guy anyway (at forst at least) I imagine he'll be a good shooter and maybe he can develop a shot off the dribble.

He couldn't overpower Xavier Henry, which leads to me thinking that Amare Stoudemire will make a joke out of this kid. He needs to get stronger. I don't see that happening no time soon because Euro-born players never do. Is it their genes?

It is hard to determine whether he is a gift or buzz so far;
Because International players always go to different way;
There future partly rely on how the team utilise their talent and skills.
Dirk , Manu,Nene ,Parker ,Pau , Yao etc...
Those players first year numbers are not very good in people eyes , but now they become a key players, and superstar level in the league
It can be some of the players said, hard work pays off -.-
