Donatas Motiejunas ready to be unleashed on verge of first NBA career start

[rquoter]{On starting against the Bucks} “It’s just one step,” he said following Tuesday’s practice. “For me it’s just one step toward reaching what I want to accomplish. If I finish my basketball career and I feel that I (did) not give all of myself for this job and I didn’t reach the best, I will be disappointed in myself.”[/rquoter]
...
[rquoter]And Motiejunas also has the makings of a low-post maestro with his deft footwork and ability to finish with either hand. The sample size is far too small to make sweeping declarations at this point, but in 17 post-up possessions so far this season, D-Mo is shooting better than 58 percent from the field according to Synergy Sports. What’s more, Motiejunas is currently sporting a ridiculous 85.7 percent conversion rate at the rim according to Hoopdata.com. To repeat: those numbers represent the tiniest of sample sizes. But they also back up what the Rockets’ coaching staff has seen in practice: D-Mo is a weapon ready to be unleashed...[/rquoter]

I'd like to see how the other PF's on the roster compare - Robinson , Jones as well as the two who were shopped out (excluding Smith who is a C not a PF IMO).

I know Motiejunas is shooting at a 72% clip since the trade , its only two games but hopefully its a taste of whats to come.

Great article ,D-mo is a hard worker that's for sure. I like the quote mchael said about him begging to go to the D-league just so he can play .
