Pretty sick article, seeing a player grow from nobody to somebody is always nice, I recall watching Carl Landry () growing into a decent player off the bench then became our sixth man, it was exciting to watch him work his way and it probably was the same experience for Morrow.

To say he isnt when you havent seen him play is also ignorant.

20 is a good possibility, the 10 part is just a maybe. from what I have seen of Motiejunas, he can do everything, he can use both hands (which is a huge plus believe it or not), he can shoot from anywhere, he has a hook, he can clean-up, he can do a turn around jumper in the post, he can pretty much do anything on the offensive end, and when you have a good skillset like that, the sky is the limit. His offense alone should turn him into a good player, and he can just learn the other parts of the game through experience (rebounding, defending, passing (which he is actually decent at). In my 6 years of being a NBA fan, I have figured out that if you have good scoring ability and a wide skillset, you will be in the NBA regardless of how bad you are at rebounding, defending or passing. There are guys who just stay in the NBA just because they have a decent jumpshot such as Korver or Kapono. If you had told me 2 years ago that Aaron Brooks would be averaging 20 ppg and little over 5 APG, I would have thought you were crazy, but the fact that he was so good offensively made this a huge possibility. Many players in the NBA coming in like PGs and Centers mainly usually feel a lot of pressure that they have to play a certain way, like PGs who have to be good 3 point shooters and passers or centers who have to be tough and rebound the ball well. Rafer Alston even had a conversation with Brooks that if he just sticks to what he does (scoring) the other parts will come to him through experience since he felt the pressure of needing to become a pass first point guard. The way I see it with Montiejunas is that, if he has a good mentor, a coach who gives him playing time and if he continues to use his scoring ability, he will become a superstar.

Superstar? Define it Or name me some.

He plays for a good team, just my guess.

I'll be supporting the Coogs here

Plenty of others? Those are the 3 only busts probably, way more European players have panned out than not, why do people only mention Darko, Tskitishvilli and Koralev as possible futures? Where is the mention of possibilities like Sambonis, Divac, Drazen Petrovic, Dirk, Krstic (would have been a beast if he never got injured), Marc Gasol, and Pau Gasol? Darko and Tskitishvili really had no business even being early picks, Darko wasnt even playing for top Serbian team when he was even drafted, and he definitely didnt get any playing time for 3 years. I'll bet anyone right now 100$ that Motiejunas doesnt end up like Koralev, Darko or Tskitishvilli, anyone wanna take it? Way more players from Europe have panned out than not

Who's the last European big to have the same skillset as Motiejunas at 19? BTW Marc Gasol or Pau Gasol. Also, big men are a lost cause now, its very rare to find a great big man, American or European, but with the abilities of Motiejunas, he can easily turn out to be a great big man.

Man U, they seem so amazing with Vidic and Rio finally back in defense. Rooney also is a friggin beast.

Couldnt have picked a crappier game, but i'll still watch every game.

Why is this?

Wasnt a tough game last time http://www.nba.com/games/20100205/HOUMEM/gameinfo.html#nbaGIboxscore

Yah, but who would actually mean that.

All it states is the obvious, because nobody is debating whether the NBA isnt the best.

Link I always knew he was alive.

The NBA is the best league, you're basically taking the NBA All-stars, if you took European all-stars, it'd be a totally different story.

Quit watching spongebob.

Not talking [expletive], but you do not insult the greatest sport to touch land.

You said nobody in US cares about soccer, its very ignorant to say that because lots actually do.

You're ignorant /thread.

And much older, age is a big factor too, guys in college are 18-23, professionals are any age.

CSKA is still in!

Sucks for chelsea but I like CSKA Moscow, Milos Krasic is class.

down 11 with 8 minutes left is a comeback? Especially vs the Nuggets, and the last minute plays we had to make to win.

Hey is this srsly the hot girls thread?
