How will Rytas fare in this upcoming season?
Roster so far:
C: Lydeka
PF: Katelynas, Dilys
SF: Orelikas, Bendzius
SG: Seibutis, Blums, Babrauskas
PG: Nedovic, Redikas, Seskus
Leaving: Zubcic, Palacio, Jomantas, Buterlevicius
Help wanted: a center, preferably one who is physically sturdy, can rebound, and can play aggressive defense.
Guards: the guard positions are pretty much covered at this point in time. They're not stellar, but not too bad either. Nedovic will provide some good offense and fast breaks, and the versatile Seibutis will reprise his role as the leader of Rytas, with Blums coming off the bench to hit some threes. It will be interesting to see how the 18-year-old Seskus will handle the big stage. Hopefully we'll discover a future NT point guard in him.
Forwards: the forward positions look rather average. Orelikas, who looked great for most of the last season, will probably team up with Seibutis to score most of Rytas' points. Bendzius will come off the bench to score a couple of buckets. Hopefully these two can use their experiences gained in the Universiade in this upcoming season. The power forward is the position I'm worried about. Katelynas has only shown flashes of his good game. He hasn't been all that consistent offensively last season, and his defense isn't stellar. He's more of a bench player if you ask me.
Centers: Lydeka is the only one right now. He's done a nice job last season staying active on defense and rebounding when possible. A bit foul-prone, but a good buy from Rytas.
