    Anyone know why JV did not play yesterday?
    not 100% sure, but it looks like the opposition was a relatively weak team, and they decided to give a few guys some rest, next games is Wednesday

      Saw few games. IMO, the coach does not use full potential of Jonas. Also I noticed that he needs a good point guard to be efficient at this period of his career.
      I've only seen highlights but I was wondering this myself. I think you are correct. The team is probably not truly interested in 'developing' him as he will be gone next year. I would imagine he is a marketing machine for them right now - nothing more.

        I was thinking this or an injury. I hope you are correct.

          No, it's not an injury. Call it a rest (i just don't think he really needs it atm) or test of deeper roster.

          As for a gameplay in general. Fact is they are a new team (only 4 players left from the last season and new coach). Part of players joined late after National tournaments. At the moment, i don't see JV getting much ball. Playstyle of team is not yet based to play through the center. And T.Rice (PG) is not really giving a pass to center often.
          But the coach itself seems to be good enough. He said (~two weeks ago), it may take a few months to see real JV. I'm sure he work it out to use him more. Mid November should be a target for them to get into a decent shape - important games in Eurocup and VTB starting.

          As for JV being marketing machine, sure it is, but he must play and play good, to make fans happy, otherwise it will not work. They will work on developing him, they need to win something this season as well. It would be stupid don't use his abilities.

                            started watching in the second quarter so i missed most of his rebounds, did catch a nice alley-oop that JV converted into a shot, but I think he picked up some quick fouls to start the second half then didn't get back in the game til garbage time

                            highlights are up, both FG's by Valanciunas, a dunk and the alleyoop/shot, and an assist
