27 minutes, 7-18 FG, 4-11 FT, 18 pts, 19 reb, 4 blks, 1 ast, 1 TO
29 minutes, 3-6 FG, 2-4 FT, 8 pts, 13 reb, 2 blks, 1 ast, 2 stl, 0 TO

Only got 2 minutes in his final game so basically should just discard it
His FG% was brought down by the first game, where he was clearly asked to do way more on offense then the Raptors would ever ask (has JV ever had anywhere close to 18 shots in a game?). Outside of that, he shots 50% from the floor and was an ok FT shooter. What he did show was elite rebounding and shot blocking, which is exactly what the Raptors would ask of him. He also put up elite rebounding and shot blocking in the ACB, so I think it's fair to assume that will translate to the NBA well enough that he'd make a fine backup. He seems a way better fit than Hansbrough, who got the lions share of the backup C minutes.

For the record JV has shot 18 times or more once in his 3 year career. And 16 times or more only 3 times.

Maybe when he gets some minutes we'll find out.
I just don't understand why he couldn't have at least had Hansbrough's minutes last year. We're not a title contender, there's no excuse not to play young guys. Hell the 4th seed was practically on lock anyway considering how bad the division was.
