Toronto Raptors' Jonas Valanciunas poses for the camera during the team's media day in September. “Before he got hurt I thought he was playing some of his best basketball,” Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. They put up a combined 36.4 shots per game last season, almost half of the team’s 81.4 per game. So I’m going to sit in the corner and shoot threes,” Valanciunas joked. If I’m going to become a three-point shooter, it’s another weapon to use.” When it comes to taking direct praise, Valanciunas seems to bristle somewhat.
