I don't think we'll ever see a big man with Hakeem-like footwork. That guy had feet that could rival Michael Jackson's
That was a great highlight package, but I just hope we're not expecting too much from this kid. We have to remind ourselves that Jonas will struggle at times next season. He'll airball shots, he'll pickup silly fouls, he'll get dunked on, he'll get out-muscled for position, etc., but it's all part of the learning process.
One thing I noticed is that he might have to adjust his timing on offensive rebounds in the NBA. A lot of those highlights looked like offensive basket interference.

He used to have him on his staff while coaching the Timberwolves.

So here's a question.
Do you guys see Jonas coming into the 2012-2013 season as a starter? Or will they bring him off the bench, until he can adjust to the differences between the NBA and Euroball?
Not sure on the extent of how Jonas can prepare for those NBA-adjustments without being in the NBA.

As the roster is right now. He would be the best Center on the team. I think they might pull the same thing they did with DeMar plays the first 8 minutes of every half. If he play well he stays on if not take him out.@Chr1st1anL

And I think he stays on more often that he is taken out after December (remember, normal NBA season).
