This season Ulanovas shoots some contested threes, some step backs though. Not that he now suddenly "a shooter", but it gives some promise. His confidence level is at the new high.
Sedekerskis shoots 38% in EL. Tubelis shoots 47% in NCAA. Both are open threes kinda shooters, but it's still OK. Jankunas was that kind of shooter and in some tournaments he was very useful. Like in 2015 where he shot 43.8% (7/16). That spreads the floor a little bit. Yeah, who wouldn't want Markkanen at 4, but it's not like we are completely naked at 4. Far from it. If Maksvytis wakes up, I believe Sedekerskis will surprise. He's pretty good already. I keep my hopes reserved as you can't trust or ask much from Tubelis, but he's also very interesting piece.
I mean when you have Sabonis, Kuzminskas, Sedekerskis, Ulanovas, Tubelis, you're not in the worst situation via 4 position in the world
Despite not having one unquestionable and natural stud there.
Brazdeikis is pretty bad shooter, but also he is streaky. In College he shot 39%. He can randomly shoot like a nightmare or shoot the lights off.
PS: Maksvytis is the hostage of being Valanciunas' coach, IMO. He would barely reduce his role and that's gonna be his tragedy of he do that. The only success he's having is with 2 agile and good defending bigs. He can simulate that to certain extent with Sabonis, Sedekerskis, Tubelis. I hope he'll do the right thing.
