Comments on: How Darius Songaila’s play in the Olympics is a bad sign for the Raptors http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/08/04/how-darius-songailas-play-in-the-olympics-is-a-bad-sign-for-the-raptors/ Basketball - NBC Sports Thu, 20 Jun 2013 09:09:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: borderline1988 http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/08/04/how-darius-songailas-play-in-the-olympics-is-a-bad-sign-for-the-raptors/comment-page-1/#comment-120394 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 10:59:04 +0000 http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=170974#comment-120394 I agree and hope you’re right. But Voluncianus didn’t just struggle against Team USA – he has looked awful in all his games. It’s concerning b/c the very least we could have hoped from him was to play defense and stay on the floor (I’m pretty sure Anthony Davis can do that, they just don’t need him). Post scoring and post defending can come later.

But at the very least, grab some rebounds, block a shot or two..do something that’ll show potential.

Unlike guards, young big men coming into the league will struggle at the beginning because the thing that made them so dominant pre NBA (size) is lost. Anthony Davis will be better than Tyson Chandler, doesn’t mean he should start ahead of him

The kids incredibly young & would’ve got torche against NBA talent. Thats why a small USA team won’t roll out Davis’s desperately needed height – because he’ll get torched too. Toronto is incredibly ignorant if they think they can start that young man from day 1
