Absolutely. I always marvel about how so few people make this obvious comparison...
HIs draft comparison was a cross betwen that guy and Noah
I think Jonas is over hyped, just like Drummond
I think Jonas is going to be worse, he's only ever truly dominated players his age or younger and only players from his region. I think he will be decent player but nothing to swoon over.
Found this interesting quip on Jonas's EU teams wiki page, calling it the worst domestic season in the teams history:
"The team also finished 3rd in the regular season round of VTB United League and qualify for the eighth finals. This is the second VTB League tournament for Lietuvos Rytas. After losing to Zalgiris in the Baltic Cup, Rytas also lost the LKL final series to Zalgiris 0:4.
This was the worst domestic season for Rytas in history; Rytas lost all 7 of its matches (6 in LKL and 1 in BBL) to its rival. Following the conclusion of the season, leaders Tyrese Rice, Lawrence Roberts, Aleksandar Rašić and Jonas Valančiūnas left the team."
complete eu stats for Jonas in case any one was curious, nothing that screams star to me.
