Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Monster double-double in win

Valanciunas finished with 22 points (7-18 FG, 8-8 FT), 23 rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 39 minutes during Monday's 107-98 victory over the Timberwolves.

The Pelicans managed to win their first game of the season on the back of a huge performance by Valanciunas. Despite an indifferent start to the season from a team perspective, Valanciunas has been able to continue on from where he ended last season. He is typically able to deliver a double-double on most nights and is one of the more efficient centers in the league.
