Jonas Valanciunas, PF Lithuania (6-10, 230) Age: 18
Strengths: Nice body with a big wingspan. Great soft touch around the basket. Banger in the paint excels at finishing in the paint. Good free throw shooter. Very good rebounder, good shot blocker. Excellent motor and basketball IQ.
Weaknesses: Limited face up game, a little one-dimensional offensively. Doesn't handle the ball well and isn't much of a shooter. Doesn't draw a ton of fouls. Should be better shot blocker. Good, not great, athlete. Footwork on defense needs work. Needs to add strength. Doesn't play a ton in Europe.
