[Video] Donatas Motiejunas Highlights vs. Suns - career high 19 points

Reminds me of Tony Kukoc.

 

Gotta admit the runnin sweep hook shot, that right there is unstoppable.

Donuts for everybody !

 

Though he still needs to work on his pick and roll defense he's improved drastically in one on one defense. Doing a good job of keeping his man out of the paint, going straight up and down, moving his feet, dropping his a$$, and boxing out.

 

When Motie gets a little stronger & more comfortable with defensive rotations look out. Size, quickness, & skill? Man, he could be a gem.

 

If we either trade or bury this guy in the rotation when we sign Jsmoove we'll have made a HUGE mistake. Asik-Dmo is one of the most intriguing front courts going right now.

 

If the Rockets got Josh Smith, Motiejunas's minutes would probably be what he is getting now. I would be fine with it. A Smith-Motiejunas front court would be very intriguing as well when Asik sits. Get the rim protection from Smith, but also get his athleticism and passing. Defensive rebounding would be scary, though.

 

I never thought of it that way. If we keep McHale around and Josh Smith starts inevitably shooting jumpers instead of doing what we signed him for... DMO would be there to get the minutes. I actually like Josh Smith, I just want DMO to blossom b/c I like him more. You also have to factor in TRob... Josh smith would seem to make him redundant.

 

He is going to be a beast next season now that he knows what his weaknesses are as an NBA player and has an entire summer to work on it.

Having one of the best post players of all time as his coach is a huge asset too.

 

He said his fav player growin up was Sabonis. His game sort of resembles Arvydas' (short hooks, behind back pass)
*wishful thinking*
