I don't think Maksvytis is so clueless to take all three Sabonis, JV, D-Mo. Three offensive seven footers. One plays little defence, 2 don't play defense at all basically. If Maksvytis does that, he's hopeless. He got killed with that shit both 22 and 23 and if he will make zero adjustments in this area, he's an idiot. No other way around. But he's not an idiot and he won't go with that. Maksbytis this summer clearly expressed his wish for player who can play both 4 and 5 and the candidates were 3 - Tubelis, Maldunas and Tarolis. I got an impression that if not so late coming of Tubelis, he would be in the NT as he finally showed things in the camp. I think Maksvytis is smart enough to understand that it's a must for NT to have mobile big or few to be successful. He talked about even this summer, that NT has different type of bigs compared to Zalgiris so NT won't be able to play like Zalgiris or something like that. Unless Maksvytis will see that prime Sabonis is different and he will go full mode with him (like improved defensively which he did to certain extent BTW), then maybe he will take 2 vets in JV and D-Mo, but to me it still wouldn't make sense. Both old, both slow, both similar. Doesn't make sense at all and I'm 99% certain that it won't happen.
I personally think that there will be enough space for both Bendzius and Tubelis. I think either one or both Grigonis and Ulanovas won't show up. But I also see the situation when Tubelis is being taken as center forward instead of Bendzius as a stretch 4 (Kuzminskas taking this role) cause I think Maksvytis understands where the problem defensively lies. Serbia just walk over us while manipulating our p'n'r D. So did Spain. Any disciplined Euro powerhouse will do that. Just USA failed to utilize that, didn't even try too much.
If all I available I see this:
Jokubaitis, Lekavicius
Grigonis, Brazdeikis, Dimsa
Ulanovas, Butkevicius
Sedekerskis, Kuzminskas, Tubelis
Sabonis, Valanciunas
If Grigonis and Ulanovas out, I see this:
Jokubaitis, Lekavicius
Brazdeikis, Dimsa, Normantas/Rubstavcius
Butkevicius, Kuzminskas
Sedekerskis, Bendzius, Tubelis
Sabonis, Valanciunas
