I’m really digging Jonas Valanciunas’ beard this season. It looks good. Lots of volume, good shaping. Not one of those “well I’m in my mid-twenties now so I guess I’ll try one out” things that’s all patchy and pubey (Kelly Olynyk I’m CALLING YOU OUT). It looks like head hair except it’s on the bottom of the head instead of the top. Nice!
The only problem is I can’t fit the whole thing into a thumbnail without making the rest of his head way too small. Not nice! It’s gotten so big that it pretty much doubles the length of his head, which considering the aspect ratio of YouTube-prescribed thumbnail image guidlines, means that unless I rotate him 90 degrees people aren’t going to get the whole load.
The Nets got the whole load of Valanciunas tonight, that’s for sure. Jarrett Allen was out, but he gets dominated by Valanciunas anyway, so that didn’t matter, except that their only other center was Timofey Mozgov who is unplayable. Sorry Dante Cunningham! He was forced into the starting center role and it didn’t really work out. As you can see.
