Scotto: There’s a sense Jonas Valanciunas won’t return as a Pelican this offse
ason in free agency, I’m told. Valanciunas essentially split center minutes wit
h Larry Nance Jr. this season and was benched often to close games. When Zion is
healthy and playing, Valanciunas occupies the paint and clogs driving lanes for
Zion. While he’s still a double-double threat, he’s not an ideal fit for this
roster, and his near double-double production will likely be more valued by oth
er teams on the unrestricted free-agent market.
Michael Scotto：据消息人士透露，Valanciunas可能不会在这个休赛季以自由球员身份回
归鹈鹕。本赛季，他基本上和Nance轮流出场担任中锋，并经常在比赛末段被换下场。当Zio
n健康出战时，Valanciunas在内线拥有一席之地，但也挡住了Zion的进攻路线。尽管他依然
能提供双十数据，但他并不是这支球队理想的球员，其他球队可能更看重他这点，这会使他
在自由球员市场上更受欢迎。
Guillory: I’d be pretty surprised if he was back because of how they were treat
ing his spot in the rotation late in the season. There were a few times when the
y didn’t play him in the second half and prioritized having space around Zion,
and I think they’ll want that in a center of the future next to Zion moving for
ward. There are a lot of valuable traits Valanciunas brings. He shows up every n
ight and played all 82 games and was a really good paint scorer in games where Z
ion didn’t play.
Will Guillory：如果他回归，我会感到相当惊讶，因为他们在本赛季末阶段对待他的轮换
位置时并不友好。有几次他们在下半场并未让他上场，而是优先考虑让Zion周围拥有更多的
空间。我认为他们希望在未来找到一位能够和Zion搭档的中锋，从而推入球队的发展。Vala
nciunas每晚都表现出色，出战了82场比赛，而且在Zion缺席的比赛中，他是一位出色的内
线得分手。
