One of the most intriguing observations of the NBA is that when everyone is zigging there aren’t many teams zagging. The trend right now is the death of the big man. Teams are opting to have players who can stretch the court and offer a bit more than a traditional five. Jonas Valaciunas started to make strides and adapt his game midway through the 2017-18 season, attempting around one three pointer per game. The shots started to go down for him too. JV knocked down 40 percent of those attempts on the season, which is a significant turnaround for a player who was starting to show signs of becoming dispensable.
