Looks like Motiejunas has or is close to signing his contract with the Spurs.He just RT’d a tweet acknowledging he’s joining the team.
Saw this but still seems to be taking long
Hard to judge offense against G League players but just looking at his handles, IQ, passing ability all pass the test. He seems to be a taller skinnier version of Gay which is not bad I wonder for people who have seen him how would you rate his defense rim protector and rebounding?
Before injury in 2015? Reliably average, not a big weakness. 2016-2019? Non existent rim protection and rebounding due to short arms and limited vertical jump that only got worse after suffering back injury. Post 1 on 1 defense is also problematic, but the way NBA moved away from posting up centers on centers that shouldn't matter. He's not terrible at switching on smaller guys.
He's probably a lesser pau gasol at this point
Pau Gasol has looked like a dying llama over the past two years yet the "advanced" stats loved him, a lot.
This guy hasn't even came close to having respectable "advanced" stats at any point of his career.
If he's worse than current Pau, Allah help us all. I keep seeing folks here say he can shoot but I'm not sure they've studied this scrub. He's a worse shooter than Jonathon Simmons

Fg% isnt exactly his strong suit
Some guy reporting Visa issue is the problem
Donatas Urbonas: Donatas Motiejunas can’t join San Antonio Spurs due to visa issues yet. Spurs are also involved and try to push the authorities to make the process faster. It’s been a week since the report Motiejunas signed with Spurs.
– via Twitter Urbodo
All good, fiew more days, and he is ✈️ to meet new teammates, good lessons for NBA teams , if u getting foreign player , plan accordingly . Will take 2 weeks to get work visa.
As many foreign players Spurs have had I am pretty sure they new how long it would take.
Only 6 games remaining including tonight.
The fans usually see only the final result of a long and hard working process . But these two guys put a lot of work in last two years to bring me to the shape I am today . This is perfect example of two highest class coaches that collaborated for one goal , to make me better stronger and faster player. Thanks to @justasgrainys and @virginijusmikalauskas �� Cuz of your work my last two season was incredible! Can’t wait to see what challenges you will throw at me next ���� #hardworkpaysoff #onegoal #twoisbetterthanone
Soooo when is he coming
Lithuanian media reports that visa issues are resolved. He should be on his way to the USA in couple days.
If they had D-Mo last night, they would have beaten those damn Kings.
Really. He makes the Spurs a serious playoff contender. I can hardly wait.
No, no, we need Christian Wood.....
/sarcasm
I don't think so, but he certainly is a good addiction. Problem is the timing. Usually it takes a season to new Spurs players to get the system. I don't know how much he can pick up in two weeks. But probably he will get minutes right off the bat, as Jakob is regressing lately.
Anyway, if he can somehow play 10-12 minutes at 4, it adds a badly needed new dimension to the lineups.
Moot points anyway: it is going to be iso choke to close games all the way to the sweep in the first round. As much I was hopeful up to 10 days ago, now it is clear to me the team has imploded for some reasons: I put DDR at ude as first reason, and then White hitting the rookie wall -a year later
Oh, man, I really didn't think that comment needed the Blue Font Of Sarcasm.
So you analyzed everything, and decided to lecture me that it will take more than six games for a new player to get ready for the playoffs? Seriously? Don't you have any stats to back that wild claim up?
I wasn't sarcastic, and certainly didn't lecture anybody (sorry if you feel offended).
Houston can pull up guys literally from the street, sit them in the corner and have them shoot 50% from the corner. SA can't, by design. I still prefere Spurs basketball, obviously.
