I think both V and Monta are ready for NBA. JV will sit on the bench mostly for the first year regardless. Whats 3 mil to get a NBA ready center? Plus he can sit on the bench with big brother Linas. Work on his game with offensive game with Bargnani. I think a six month understudy would do him good. Whats he missing? I say red rover red rover send Valanciunas on over!!!

ValanÄiÅ«nas is not ready for NBA. He played against Gasols, KirstiÄ, Kaman, Ibaka and others in Eurobasket and he wasn't bad, but let's not forget he came with limited minutes and with Å aras assisting. Now playing in Rytas, the team that basically has no passers, it's obvious that he still has long way to go. Don't get me wrong, the potential is here, but the best way as skangles said is to stay in Europe. I would think he needs to stay in Europe in 2012/2013 season as well.
While Motiejūnas is pretty much ready and he's already 21yo, but now he's getting vital experience in Euroleague and VTB as the key player of Prokom. He's doing great and I think he will be ready for 2012/2013, though I would recommend him to stay and play in Euroleague next season as well.
In other words, I see NBA as big threat for ValanÄiÅ«nas' and MotiejÅ«nas' career ATM. Isn't like Rocket's 4 position is entirely locked currently? They would probably throw Motiejunas at 5 what would be a mistake.
