You and I are having the same train of thought. We’re watching the Games, and trying to postulate how JV’s game will carry over to the NBA. It seems few big men can avoid the rookie habit of early-game touch fouls due to over-exuberance. JV will need to take his bitter medicine, and we’ll lose games as a result. What will be truly interesting to watch is how quickly he can learn to restrain himself, and stay in games.

Looks to be a rather good game–botj teams are 1-1 and they are essentially even. I agree with what you have to say about Valunciunas, but you have to give him credit. Even though his playing time is limited due to foul trouble, he still remains rather efficient while on the court. I guess the foul trouble will be one of the growing pains that Toronto will have to deal with once the reguular season arrive.
