"Jonas Valanciunas has been playing like a maniac at times lately. Full of energy, swinging his elbows, attacking the glass. The result has been a bunch of double-doubles and, it appears, a few peeved opponents. Valanciunas said a few Pelicans told him to watch his elbows – some more forcefully than others. Greg Stiemsma actually jumped on his head and elbowed him at one point. Valanciunas got a technical for a retaliatory shove and said he also made sure to tell Stiemsma he wasn’t impressed with the tough guy act. Valanciunas is evolving into a confident pro and with the increased confidence has come an uptick in his performance.
After competing in the rookie sophomore challenge on Friday night in New Orleans (where he says he’ll teach Charles Barkley how to properly say his name), Valanciunas will take a brief trip to Mexico to relax on a beach."
I'm loving it! Last season he looked like a boy among men.
