He was getting yanked because he's not a good defender...the comparison isn't there games but how they are overhyped by this fan base who thinks both were all star talents that need 7 years of developing...
I don't see or hear the same thing from things from the fans that you do I guess :yeshrug:

Casual fans hype up Lowry and Derozan over Val, and most knowledgeable fans I know acknowledge he has flaws while still appreciating a young 5 who can play outta the post, shoot 60% and rebound well.

Defensively he's exactly what bargnani was...his fav move is out of ABs defensive handbook,stand tall arms up don't move even as the player dribbles around you just keep ur arms up and hope he jumps into you...

Get rid of that moron Casey and have a defensive minded head coach who plays Jonas consistently in the 4th and I promise you all your concerns of him will be minimized if not disappeared completely.

jonas is just like most eastern european centers, jonas, vucevic, kanter, pekovic,
if you just look at their stats your like :ehh: not bad, but if you watch em play over and over again there worthless on the defensive side of the ball and give us as many points as they contribute.

no surprise that jonas goes down raptors win 3 in a row playing hard nose defense and up tempo basketball without jonas cementinshoeus going up and down the court

You can see the difference with Biyombo on the defensive end...he's blocking lebron...he changed shots.he moves his feet and challenges everything at the rim...

he moves so much better and his defensive awareness in the box or in help situations is so much better than Jonas...

Val has no defensive instincts...you can't really teach individual defense at the center position...you either have it or you don't.

great point cuz you can look at film but it won't help you when you have to make split second decisions on the floor...his lack of instinct and indecisiveness is a killer...

you have to know where ur going on the floor before the play develops and he doesn't have a feel for it like you said...

He always rather than help on the ball winds up on an island between the ball and his man unsure where to go....

The 2 Asian guys in front of me were drunkenly taking pics/video the whole time. I didn't notice it so much at the time but quick-watched the game on the DVR and they stuck out. I had a black sweater on and was just sitting watching the game. Just saw the back of my head every time they panned low on the left side of the court.

Bron pondering where it all went wrong, Norm Kelly in the front row

Lowry and DeRozan cannot close games...how many times does it need to be proven...

They both tossed up terrible shots again trying to be the hero....

last possessions should stay the fukk out of Demar hands..dudes too damn clumsy

Derozan is so unclutch

:gag:

He always under pressure falls down or dribbles off his leg....and kyle will force a horrible contested off balance shot instead of trying to run an actual play...

They're both terrible closers...
