My Take
At 213 centimeters, Donatas Motiejūnas commands attention before he even moves, but what interests me is the journey behind the frame. Lithuania is a tiny nation utterly obsessed with basketball, and to emerge from Kaunas, get drafted 20th overall in 2011, and carve out an NBA run with Houston takes more than height. I respect that he kept reinventing himself, now starring for Crvena zvezda in the EuroLeague rather than fading away. There is something admirable about a player who tastes the American game, returns to Europe's elite, and keeps competing. That refusal to coast is what I find most compelling about him.
