So you’re not going to believe this, but discussing Jonas Valanciunas of the Toronto Raptors is something of a hot button issue. We’ve gone back and forth on the subject a million times. For every game in which Valanciunas dominates — remember when he started the season with a 32 point-11 rebound performance? — there are two or three (or more) in which he disappears. I suspect the debate, as it were, will continue on into April, May, and beyond.
Now, I already know what you’re thinking: the disappearing act isn’t always his fault.
