Jonas Valanciunas Mix - Welcome to Toronto!

[SammiSaysMe]

There's constantly talks & praise about him, this guy is improving daily, he's a hardworker. He's got no fear in game, that makes him a good player & he's got so much potential, he's not even 20 yet so he makes mistakes in the court, he's still gotta adjust & he's super young, he's got the time. They don't give out player of the year awards to just anyone (even if it's young mens), these people are pros, they know what to look at to see someone's a good player - so quit your bitching, he's good.

[AntisXP]

I feel sorry for Jonas, as he will need to play for a team with bunch of idiotic fans. Peace out

[SA5195Raptors]

Congrats to Jonas for 2011 Young Mens Player of the Year Award!

[turdsandwicher]

I still would rather have Kemba or Knight but whatever hope things work out well. GO Raptors!

[lasoogneypubes]

So he can dunk.. And this means he's a good player?

[Siccwaves]

0:44 dammmmmmmmmm

[spynextwindow]

when will Jonas Valanciunas play with the raptors next season maybe?? he's only 19

[chrislaurel]

this guy with Calderon and Bargnani, who by the way is ripping it this season and shoving a penis on all you Bargnani haters, will be great for the Raptors

[PhillyChzStk2012]

@chrislaurel "shoving a penis" ....huh?

[slashguitargod17]

cant wait for the jose to jonas alley oops!!!!

[Baton220]

love him <3

[mmatew231]

i cant see what he can do but dunk

[PR1NCETD0T]

@mmatew231 well 7ft 1 or 2 centres .. shud dunk and just do post moves.. coaches wud rather see dunks/layups + rebounds/blocks, shooting and all tht is for the other 4 positions, mainly SG/SF, this guy jus needs to build muscle and he can be one of the elite C's.

[IAmALazyOldMan]

I was kind of hoping they would have taken Brandon Knight with this pick, and at the time wasn't too happy about this guy, but it's nice to see he plays defence unlike Barg.

[mitchqqqqqq]

@IAmALazyOldMan Same here man. I really wanted them to go with Knight :(

[eudiscrespo]

Looks Good :)

[ry27sm]

D-White Howard

[logybearified]

he needs to add size and alot of it if he has a good work ethic and builds up his body i could see him making a impact in the NBA because if he doesnt he will just get used and abused lets just hope he aint as soft as gasol... @ mattrospecs bargnani = dissapointing and a total hack!!

[londonas2]

@SouljahXxRS exactly its only us and you can look at all of the lithuanuan players in nba and u will see that they are brilliant

[dalezhang]

it will be nice to see someone on the raps playing in the paint

[tricyclebanana]

better than javale mcgee

[Aurimas49]

1:20 get that week stuff out of here! Like it!

[amsterdamforeverful]

this guy is a monster finally Bryan Colangelo does the right decision.

it will be the first time the Toronto Raptors is has having an strong dude in the paint.

now we have him we can trade Andrea Barganani's ass.

[Lukaskinas1]

Fuck those who thinks that Lithuania is soft im from lithuania and jonas is realy good player

[DGKxALLxDAY7]

I can't believe my team passed on him in the draft...(Cavs, we coulda had him with the 4th pick)

[londonas2]

@DGKxALLxDAY7 yh they could of picked him but the buy out cost was quite big so cavs were a bit scared but i think in couple of years cavs will defo get valanciunas

[KnightCrawler2]

He looks good hopefully there will be a season so we can see what he can do

[torotnota]

if he bulks up i think he can be like kevin love

[Tomytoism]

@UsernameIsTaken696 says pussie by the keyboard, direct from his mother basment

[tintin4561]

all i can say is i hope hes not like rafael arujo. we coulda gotten kemba walker wtf

[theAMBproject]

@ 2:00

[MrLeopoldas1]

if this guy develops a post game and a jumper then WHOOO shit hes gona be the shit

[12Oscart]

2:02 That play is crazy!

[EduSanjuan777]

An european is now the nº1 player of the actual nba champion(Dirk),and wiped the floor with the best american youngsters(Miami),another one won the other last two(Pau), wiping the floor with Garnett and Dwight Howard, and this little Jonas, did 35 points 15 rebounds against sub 19 USA. So if you want to deal to another team a 19 year old 7 footer, capable of doing what you see on this video only because he´s european, the saying about canadian people being totally stupid must be true.

[rajustas]

ryt per P ir M Gasoli dedamas Jonukas smaginsis...

[chingyboy87]

now J.V playing for Lithuania National Team and he scored 26 points 11 rebounds in last game ! he's growing and he's gonna be big !

[morkiuzz]

0:23 Lietuva Lietuva :DDD

[LukasLaurencikas]

Good mix m8

[5679baller]

we have our own big three

amir jonas and derozan sick

[Hypervizzle]

@5679baller lmao thats the most bootleg big 3 ever looool

[5679baller]

@Hypervizzle why u hatin on toronto man thats a ill team right there

[LTUfan4ever]

Valanciunas was coached by the best Lithuanian coaches. Video shows the result. And he's only 19years old!

[drakez0mg]

FML why do we always get the europeans...

[londonas2]

@drakez0mg because europeans are better than most of the americans that play in nba

[drakez0mg]

@londonas2 I swear to god your so fucking stupid if you think Lithuania will EVER beat USA in basketball, that shithole which i never heard of until now wont beat USA in anything let alone basketball which is an American dominated sport. Also Jonas Valanciunas' stats are from him playing in European leagues against Eurpean players and teams (which suck dick at basketball) so they arent even comparable to NBA stats. Have you noticed your the only one who likes this guy?

[londonas2]

@drakez0mg we already did u fucking twat

[londonas2]

@drakez0mg typical stupid american, ok so if european basketball is shit then take away all the european people from the nba, why can't you do that? oh yh because if it wasn't for us ba would be the biggest fucking shithole ever. have a good life hope ur living the american dream lol

[Hypervizzle]

@drakez0mg lol... no

[promx4]

future hall of famer

[TheVirgiss]

5th

[OneTwoChi]

i like this guy.. i can see ROY when he comes over next year

[ViividYoshi]

Hes like the Blake Griffin of the EuroLeague lol

[progtracer]

MVP of 2011 U19.... no matches in that generation - that is it baby!!!

[rcinglad]

Steal of the draft mark my words, if barg learned to play d and rebound we would be like the lakers frontcourt.

[BlueRaptor28]

MVP MVP MVP MVP!!!!!

[kubikasrubikas]

I'm so looking forward to see Valanciunas play against Sonny Weems next season in the Lithuanian National League:)

[ramsespamses]

i just hope hes good in defense thats the weak spot of the toronto raptors



[fmoham01]

My friend who is a Toronto and a big fan of the Raptors almost lost it when the Raptors drafted this guy. lol Not another soft European was all he could say.

[SA5195Raptors]

@fmoham01 He's wrong about another "soft Euro"

[HALEIWA7]

@SA5195Raptors i,m sorry dude but look at the history of how euro players translate to the nba nikola pecovic,christian eyenga, darko,ect, not to well at least enes kanter has a jump shot so even if he never learns the post moves and to pound away he'll always score 10+ ppg with valanciunas you can take away that lob on p&r and now he's a 5 ppg and under scorer sorry i love kanter not a big fan valanciunas.

[Pablo8ism]

@HALEIWA7 wtf are you talking about? Valanciunas IS a good shooter, he has a very good hook shot and he's also a 80+% free throw shooter...

[fresh3456]

@fmoham01 Your friend is a dumbass who thinks only american players are good. Tell your friend to watch the WNBA

[TheRtXaS]

@fmoham01 That "soft Euro is the next Blake Griffin.

[xuxesumare]

@fmoham01 Another soft european player like Dirk Nowitzky?? I hope to get a player like that in my team in that case :P

[gggman15]

@fmoham01 trust me this guy is not soft soft, he is already getting comparisons of arvydas sabonis who just got to the hall of fame, he is so confident, agrressive, and athletic, aldo he is relly skilled, if u are going to watch the european championships u are going to see he is a monster, everytime he gets the ball he tries to dunk it, last game all of his points against russia were dunks except for freethrows so ur friend is kinda prejudice, and most of european players are accually tough

[Tomukas2k9]

@fmoham01 Well show him this video, you think this guys so soft ? Your friend hasnt seen him play at all

[londonas2]

@fmoham01 he is probably dumb then because this guy is a legend already. before saying that he is soft look at some of the games that he has played in and then you can speak. he is 19 and already his statistics are better than from most of the players in nba

[MagnaLelouch]

@fmoham01 Valanciunas is definetly not a soft European. He's similar to Pau Gasol but with less post skills. Instead, he is a great defender and very physical. So it's a mistake describing Jonas as a soft player.

[cormorano83]

@fmoham01

Have you ever seen him play? Only one time

[gggman15]

@fmoham01 europeans are soft???!!! wtf man. in europe the rules are different their are no bullshit calls like in the nba where you just touch a player and its a foul, just look at all the superstars play, look how many freebies they shoot. the europeans are usually are better shooters and have softer touche, this is the only area where they are soft, but in a good way;). u should try playing in europe. just look at ty lawson, he had a real tught time adjusting to all this contact in europePEACE

[jakep1979]

I hope that JV will watch alot of tapes on Pau Gasol and what he does to be successful in the NBA because they seem so much alike.

[1992box]

LMAO who was the idiot that said he was teh next bargs. Nothing like him. Welcome to tdot Big V

[vinthulan]

LOL why is thier so many little ozzy haters? aha

[gwrighter]

Yo, sick Vid SA5195. Finally a mix of Jonas that shows his true toughness.

[TheFastMage]

For all the haters that said we should have picked USA talents... USA U-19 VS Lithuania U-19 75:108 USA got owned and Valanciunas was the top scorer with 11 rebounds... So yeah, have a nice day idiots...

[londonas2]

@TheFastMage yh exactly in the future usa will be shit because we already seen their future players and the lithuanian team will own everyone

[k1mochi]

little ozzy never had a gf!!

[kas2929]

He's like the centre version of Blake Griffin.

[rjones416]

welcome to toronto jonas!

[nirodesilva]

That's it i'm gettin his jersey!!

[Lonewanderer6666]

Did anyone heard some guy keep chanting "Raptor sucks, Raptor sucks" when JV was walking up the stage?

[bgizzles420]

@Lonewanderer6666 Yeah, can't make it out. I thought they were saying "BUST, BUST, BUST". Either way, that dude will be eating crow when Val finally joins the Raptors.

[edvynas]

@Lonewanderer6666 He was saying "Lietuva, Lietuva", which is Lithuania in Lithuanian :D

[mattrospecs]

fuck bargnani and fuck little ozzy aka dickgrinder

[mynamedenis]

Great video, I promise all you Raptos fans that this guy wont't disapoint you :)

[eafanboyssuck]

@mynamedenis He had like 22 and 11 today! He is already showing he can play with American Competition.

[ppks4444]

yeaaaaaaaaaa

welcome Valciunas!!!!!!!!!
