Jonas Valanciunas (Curent Rate Of Ownership: 81.2) – With Rudy Gay in Sactown, the Lithuanian could be due for a quarter-season renaissance. Since Gay’s departure, V for Valanciunas has scored in double digits three times in a row. That’s not worth exploding fireworks over but it could be a nice development in the big man’s game.
He’s a good basketball player and has the capacity to be a 12/11/1/2 guy if given the chance and if he gets out of his own head. For now, though, he should be owned at an 85 percent rate given his upside.
