Motiejunas plays for an Italian club. Valanciunas plays for Rytas, a club based in Vilnius, where Morey happens to be. Brad Newley and DJ Strawberry are playing there too this season. <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/UQe1GVhwbd0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

LOL & darn, Stanko Barac didn't play much because of foul trouble. Morey had to scout that game. Eliyahu was impressive.
Morey: Final 83-81 Maccabi vs Caja. Jeremy Pargo hits game winner. Lior Eliyahu with many key plays down the stretch. Rebounds, blocks, key buckets. ....I didn't realise (until i just looked him up) but we own the draft rights for Eliyahu.

Sounds like Morey's scouting Jan Vesely, who plays for Partizan Belgrade. That's a guy I wouldn't mind seeing the Rockets draft with their 1st first rounder.
I really like Jan Vesely also. If Rick is still coach, he would be a perfect fit at the SF position. I does a great job moving without the ball, and plays with high energy.
Reminds me a lot of Andrei Kirilenko. Say what you will about that guy, but I'd LOVE to have a player with that kind of skillset on my team.
Agreed, he's another AK-47. That's why I'd prefer to just sign AK-47 for the MLE after we re-up Chuck and Yao, and draft someone else or use our draft picks and some of our talent to get a major upgrade at the 5.
Nope. Just because they are white and both from Europe does not make them the same player. This forum seems to have a really bad habit of white players can only be compared to other white players. Vesely is much more talented than Kirilenko is and way more athletic.
