Donatas Motiejunas Polish League Finals 2012 Highlights

seems to have potential to develop a nice post game, would be awesome if he can work with Scola and/or Hakeem

 

If they are not available, perhaps we can settle for this guy as a teacher for Motiejunas:

It may be lesser competition, but still a Professional league and higher competition than college. He is playing against grown men here. His skills will translate better than a typical pick

 

McHale's just the beginning course: Dropping that ass 101.

 

Thanks for the post Carl. I forget after a while just how good the man was.

 

he'll be much better than Yao.

 

hes only 21 I see a lot of potetial and his confidence is a breath of fresh air .

 

i like his intensity!

 

i do like what i see. BUT he was the biggest guy on the court. that wont be the case in the NBA.

 

He really, really reminds me of a young Pau Gasol. I'm not sure about his post-defense but I haven't seen his level of offensive game from a young big in years. Heres hoping at least his weakside defense will be decent.

 

his fundamentals are strong

can we get a highlight video without horrible music?

 

he is a very skillful big man...
how is his defense

 

He's already more talented than most centers in the NBA today. Most centers in the NBA today just know how to dunk and can't score outside the paint. Plus he got some nice moves in the post. Most centers doesn't have any moves and relies on scoring by alley oops or pick and roll. Hopefully he can put on a few more pounds and able to bang with the big guys in the league.

 

Can't wait to see him in Houston next season! Does anybody know how much weight D-Mo's put on while playing with Asseco Prokom?

 

Is Donuts already guaranteed to play for the Rockets next season?

 

My understanding, is he's still working to buyout his existing contract, then he's good to go.

So GUARANTEED - no, but working toward it...

 

At the combine last year he was 215. By the start of the Euro season he was around 240. We would have to ask our friends from Lithuania is he lost much of his quickness.

 

he gained about about 20+ lbs

Here's a post from dobro1229 with a link to it....

I like what I see, quite excited about him. In a re-draft he would definitely go higher than #20. I like that he's a lefty and I really hope his defence in the NBA will be good. Most importantly: let's pray they use him at the PF spot! No way he can guard the centers and we need a 4 that can stretch the floor.

I hope he's the starter right away and we trade Scola, as much as I love him, he deserves more than a back-up role and we need to see what D-Mo can do. Patterson will not make it, too short, no fire, no good rebounder and not a great post game. I will give him another shot though, since I have zero hope for Morris working out here. He might be better served under a better veteran coach.
