Jonas Valanciunas looks like he's ready for his NBA debut.
Valanciunas, who was the fifth-overall pick of the 2011 NBA Draft, by the Toronto Raptors, delivered this impressive dunk in a recent Raptors' pre-season game against the Washington Wizards.
Playing in their first home game in 16 days, the New Orleans Hornets played like a heavy road underdog to the lowly Toronto Raptors. As a result, they fell to 8-27 on the season. Hornet shooting guard Marco Belinelli (pictured above) scored 20 points in defeat.
Jarrett Jack has played starter minutes his entire NBA career. That is, until an early season trade which sent him from Canada to the Crescent City. Jack is now a backup point guard to Chris Paul. The adjustment for Jack has taken time, but he's beginning to shine.
New Orleans Arena was rocking on Monday afternoon as the Hornets won their fifth straight game. David West's clutch shooting, and Jarrett Jack's impressive play off the bench sparked the Hornets to a come from behind win over the Raptors 85-81.
Jarrett Jack was the biggest, and best piece of a 5 player trade two weeks ago between the Hornets and Raptors. While no one will doubt Jack's skills, it's been slower than expected in regards to learning the Hornets system.
