2011 NBA Mock Draft: Charlotte Bobcats Select Jonas Valanciunas with 9th Pick

Height: 6'10"

Weight: 230 lbs.

Position: PF/C

Age: 19

Comparison: Nenad Krstic

He still needs to add a lot of strength, but his solid fundamentals should help him transition into the NBA.

He runs, defends and rebounds fairly well. Plus, he has a very solid basketball IQ for an 19-year-old player.

He may not be the kind of dominant center Charlotte would like to replace Kwame Brown and Joel Przybilla, but I think they'd be excited to see Valanciunas fall to them.
