The performance of the first show is mediocre! The Nuggets inside new players are a little difficult to resist against the opponent s substitute lineup?

In a previous NBA preseason game, the Minnesota Timberwolves easily defeated the Denver Nuggets who played at home 126-116, achieving a good start in the preseason, while the Nuggets suffered a blow during the preseason.

In this game, the Nuggets' substitute inside new player Jonas Valanciunas's performance was actually quite average. Valanciunas played 13 minutes and 16 seconds in the game, made 3 of 5 shots, scored 6 points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block. He also had 4 turnovers and 5 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -6. Valanciunas also showed a certain scoring ability on the offensive end, but he also made a lot of mistakes, and his effect on the offensive end was also relatively average. Valanciunas has certain inside defensive ability on the defensive end, but his performance in foul control is not ideal, and his disadvantage in moving speed is also quite obvious. The most important thing is that Valanciunas often faces the opponent's second or even third lineup, but his defensive effect is also very average, which makes everyone feel a little worried about his condition. In a deal before the trade deadline for last season, Valanciunas was sent to the Sacramento Kings by the Washington Wizards. After joining the Kings, Valanciunas made a total of 32 appearances in the NBA regular season, averaging 16.9 minutes per game, averaging 8.7 points, 7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.6 blocks, and 1 turnover and 2.6 fouls. He shot 55.6%, three-point shooting percentage 10%, and free throw shooting percentage 84.7%. In the previous European Men's Basketball Championship, Valanciunas played 7 games for Lithuania, with averaging 19.4 minutes per game, with averaging 15.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.7 blocks, 2 turnovers and 2.1 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 64.7%, a three-point shooting percentage of 50%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 76%.

This summer, the Nuggets made a deal with the King, and exchanged the King for Valanciunas. There were also reports that Valanciunas refused to represent the Nuggets. He hoped to return to the European arena to play, but the Nuggets firmly refused to allow Valanciunas to return to the European arena. They also clearly required Valanciunas to play for the Nuggets in the new season. The Nuggets also have high expectations for Valanciunas, and everyone thinks he will play Nikola Jokic's substitute well. As a result, Valanciunas' performance in his debut was so average, which is indeed a bit worrying. I don’t know if Valanciunas can adjust his form and play at a higher level next.
