Valanciunas is being very underrated by American fans. I think he's a great pick with the 4th. I'd consider picking him with the #2, to be honest.
The problem is, he won't be coming over any time soon.  It very well could be a Rubio situation and 2 or 3 years from now, he might have blown out both his knees and be totally unusuable.  Big risk to take for a pick that high.

big one.  Even if they didn't take Jonas, I wouldn't have guessed Thompson.

Oh, come....did you expect Bucher to be right?
