Now he needs to add a few of those Amir-drives with either the turn around, or the hook;
A few low post moves with his back to the basket;
an Up-'n-Under move after the fake;
and how to open more space to receive the pass on the PnR
Those skills + an improving outside shot, should make him and above-average efficient producer. Him and Rudy Gay down the stretch are going to be KEY.The Baltic Beast is unstoppable!

Also, on the Rudy note. I rewatched parts of last night's game in Indy. I don't know if anyone was as happy as Jonas with the win and he gave Rudy a big hug after the shot, and after the buzzer where you could see they were also talking. Rudy also seemed to look out for him at times, and came up to him after he was mugged by Hansbrough to see if he was hurt...I really think Rudy is taking him under his wing, and hopefully this can only help his confidence and development.

Jonas Valanciunas is back among the starters and showing no signs of ever heading back to the bench.
For the second game in a row, Valanciunas was a one-man generator with his non-stop energy.
http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Basketball.../20568756.htmlJonas Valanciunas, making his first start since breaking his finger in December, had 11 points and contributed energy beyond belief. In both this game and Friday’s surprise win in Indianapolis, Valanciunas has shown that he has regained his sea legs following a six-week absence from the lineup.
“You go out there and you see him … and he just loves doing what he does,” Gay said of Valanciunas. “It makes you want to play harder.
“Especially on this team, we need somebody like that.”

The thing I like is he is so genuine as a human being. He has been victimized by a punk (Caron Butler) and a thug (Tyler Hansbrough).
Still he gets up dusts himself off and goes about his work with that same infectious enthusiasm he has displayed from the word go! What's not to love about this kid?
