Top 10 plays from PLK playoffs feature lots of Asseco Prokom, Donatas Motiejunas

June 8, 2012

The PLK season ended on Wednesday in the same fashion as the previous eight seasons: Namely, with Asseco Prokom Gdynia holding Poland’s basketball championship title, as Trefl Spot managed to take the series to seven games but in the end fell 76-68 in the final match.

And so the league has released its semi-obligatory “Top 10 plays of the playoffs” video; figuring heavily into the highlight clip is Asseco Prokom in general with eight moments of glory. But just as throughout the regular-season, Donatas Motiejunas proved that he’s worthy of more attention than that from the Houston Rockets and Lithuanian nations; indeed, the big guy went for 23 points and 11 rebounds in the decisive game.

D-Mo boasts roles in no fewer than four of the PKL’s top 10, displaying nice athleticism, speed and sheer control of the paint. Below see Doncė:

• at no. 10, with an easy one-handed jam;

• at no. 7, with an effortless swat of a Jermaine Mallett shot in the lane;

• at no. 4, producing another easy throwdown two in transition (incidentally, can the Rockets bring Jerrell Blassingame over, too?); and

• at no. 3, showing off his passing skills with a bouncer around the defender to find Adam Lapeta for a jam.

Unfortunately, this may end being the last we see of Motiejunas before the 2012-13 NBA season tips off; he will reportedly sign with the Rockets on July 1, thus forcing him to skip playing in the Olympic qualifiers with Team Lithuania.

Hungry yet, Houston…?
