When was the last time we heard a Raptor say something like this? About a preseason game? You have to admire his drive
"It was a good test, but I'm waiting for Friday," Valanciunas said afterwards. "Yeah, I want the return match," he said referring to Detroit's visit to Toronto on Friday.

If similar minutes who puts up a better stat line JV or Drummond?

Can't say I'm not bummed over JV's first game. He had a good game but it was very quiet.. 0 boards in 13 mins was a disappointment, especially since Detroit killed us in overall rebounds.
I'm paying extra attention to the rookie bigs this year - Anthony Davis so far is killing it in preseason. Perry Jones had a good game as well the other day, as did T-Rob. Sullinger is even doing well out in Boston, and of course Drummond did well against us the other day.
Yes it's preseason, but I'd love to see a double/double at least one time.. is that too much to ask?

JV had 2 or 3 tips to teammates. He didin't have nice stat sheet. But those tipped boards are ones that detroit couldn't get, which means two or three less possesions. Stuff like that adds up after a while, even if he doesn't get the stats to prove it

Then there's the issue of a guy doing a great box-out to prevent the opposition from getting an otherwise easy rebound, thus allowing a teammate to get the rebound... almost like there could be a 'rebound assist' stat of somesort. haha I didn't mean to open any can of worms, I swear! lol

planetmars wrote: View PostI think there is a stat for team rebounds.. so if the rebound is questionable, it is rewarded to the team as opposed to the player. Although I think a good box out goes unrewarded.. as do some other hustle stats like taking a charge, deflections or winning jump balls, etc.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/boxscore?gid=2012101008
At the bottom it will show the Raps had 7 team rebounds.. and 32 individual rebounds which would make a total of 39. The Pistons had 11 team rebounds, and 47 individual ones, which would make a total of 58.
