Both Murauskas and Rubstavicius looked good against Zalgiris. Rubstavicius still needs to add some mass which is limiting his finishing under the basket ATM, but he loves contact (differently than Grigonis) and will be very good slasher too. I'm getting higher on Rubstavicius. Likely the best SG since Macijauskas. He won't be as good as Macas, but he basically has an upside of elite EL SG. Our SG position situation is good with Rubstavicius and Indrusaitis.

I like Rubstavicius. Moreover, i told you before that 2002 generation had been wrongly called ''Tubelis and Marciulionis generation'' because Augustas wasn't clearly top2 talent in this generation, but you couldn't agree with that. U20 showed that i was right. This season already showed that Rubstavicius' huge performace hadn't been any fluke. At the moment he looks like better, hotter and IMO more interesting player than Marciulionis.
But he isn't the best sg since Macijauskas. Last season he played in NKL and averaged 10 pts. Seibutis at that age dominated LKL averaging 18 pts in Sakalai. He was so good that he already could make a debut next season in EL without going to Zalgiris or Rytas at first like it always happens. Unfortunately, another year after he got serious back issues that most likely made his career not elite one. But he still was a very good player and one of the best defensive players in Lith basketball. But somehow people forgot/didn't know what a great talent he was. I noticed it many times.
He's the best player of the game (20 pts + 10 rebs) but some years ago he almost ended playing basketball when he was in 2nd Spanish division.Maldunas makes a game winning lay up.
It's sad to watch Masiulis now. When he was a prospect he dominated NKL with some 40+ pts performances.

Pfft, he had 46 eff performance in LKL playoffs against Canak's Lietkabelis
Lekavicius, Dimsa, Birutis saved Zalgiris' ass. Brazdeikis is like a foreigner who isn't interested after EL season is over or what. He scored 6 pts in 2 semifinal games - what kind of contribution it is?
Canak is limited as fuck. He always makes the same rotation no-matter what. Generally he's a passport coach. Rubstavicius was hot and Morris sucked, but he kept playing Morris cause that's how he always do. Always the same rotation no matter what's happening on the court. Canak will never be EL coach. Too limited, too stubborn, too old school. Passing culture of Lietkabelis hasn't improve all season long. OK, they don't have PGs, but, come one, bigs should make clear kickcouts and have at least minimal vision. Only Sakic can pass from bigs. Maldunas is par exellence example of low IQ big. He' so horrific with decision making with the ball that it should be a science object.
Yeah, Brazdeikis didn't care about LKL all season long. Now he just wants to to Canada/States as soon as possible.
Duffy is Peno's replacement
Yes, you are right. However, he is not so much better.
