Nuggets head coach David Adelman was interviewed and talked about the team's new aid center Valanciunas.

Adelman said: "In the past ten years, he has been a real top center and can play a role in any position on the court. The 'organizing center' I mean not to grab the rebound and push the ball, but to be a tactical fulcrum in the half-court offense. He is highly compatible with our existing system: he can play five-for-one tactics and execute weak hand hand hand, support in the elbow area, and play back singles for a small lineup. What is even more rare is that he improves his teammates' abilities. What I value is not assist data, but his ability to launch tactics with his own influence. This signing is priceless, and I can't wait to help him integrate into the system."
