The one true large adult son of the Raptors, Jonas Valanciunas, is having himself a time in this year’s FIBA Eurobasket tournament. Unlike his trials last year, when it seemed as though Jonas was going through an existential crisis — a big no-no for your average large adult son — this time out, JV is ripping and running and urging Lithuania on to a successful tourney.
Earlier today, Jonas and the Lithuanian men’s national team played their final game of the group stage of the EuroBasket tournament. It was a romp against Germany (final score: 89-72), which brought the Lithuanians to a record of 4-1, and first place in the standings.
