My bold prediction is that he leads the league next year in TS% (among, say, players with 20 minutes avg or more). Last season, he was 7th (behind Chandler, James, Korver, Stoudemire, Durant, and Battier), and I think his improved game could put him in the high 60s in TS%.
Edit: just doing some more digging on JV's .619 TS% last year, and dug up this incredible fact: since 1996-97 (the earliest the NBA site has stats for), no other rookie has had as high a TS% as what Jonas had last year. Allen, Duncan, Boozer, Ming, Igoudala, and Howard are all guys that were at the top of their rookie class in TS% back in their day, and none of them were close to JV's numbers.Last edited by octothorp; Fri Jul 19, 2013, 03:42 PM.

BBR has stats that go back to the 70's.

I think he's taking a big step forward this year. I'm calling it, double double territory.
He should be getting 30-40 minutes per night and was averaging 14PPG and 9REB last season over 36 minutes. Factor in improvements to his game and body and let's say this year he averages:
35MPG, 18PPG, 10REB, 2 BLKTwitter - @thekid_it

He's got another fudged up Finger. This is a bad trend. He needs more fap fap fap to gain hand/finger strength. He is shut down for the rest of Summer League.
Jonas Valanciunas sustained a sprained left index finger in Thursday's game vs. Denver. X-rays taken yesterday were negative.
