Zalgiris Kaunas 2018-19

[ZalgirisFanForLife]

So, what are your thoughts about next year? I have a very good feeling about Šaras staying. Of course, Pangos is leaving, but other players have +1s in their contracts, so there are good chances to see most of the roster back next year. During the season I thought that Kavaliauskas should go, but if he takes a smaller contract, he should be kept. I liked Udrih, but his defense is something that hurt us more than his positive impact on the offensive end.. I have mixed thoughts about him, as I like his veteran presence.

I think that Walkup is going to be taken as someone who can play PG-SG positions and he's tall, not bad definsively.

I see Birutis who will have a positive impact during the season. I also hope that Valinskas will improve during the summer and will finally become an important part of the team.

PG - Micic, Valinskas (Udrih?)
SG - Milaknis, Walkup
SF - Ulanovas, Toupane
PF - Jankūnas, White, Masiulis
C - Davies, Kavaliauskas, Birutis

I would be very happy if the final roster would look like this. I feel like Micic, Davies and White will be even better next year and they proved to be really good during their first year. I especially like the potential that Micic posseses, he is not as talented as Westermann was, but I like his defense and energy even more. I am not sure about Toups, but his athletic potential is also amazing.

I think, that Walkup or similar player will replace Udrih, as a combo guard, that can create and switch on D. Pangos will be replaced with another guy, preferably better at D and still keep good shooting. Also, I'd be more happy if Toupane would be replaced with better shooting and keep good D on that position, plus Walkup and new guy should improve perimetral D. The roster should look like this, if Saras stays:
PG Laprovittola, Walkup(SG), Jokūbaitis
SG Micič, Milaknis, Valinskas
SF Ulanovas, Landesberg, Arlauskas
PF Jankūnas, White, Masiulis
C Davies, Kavaliauskas, Birutis

It will be really hard to keep Micič and Šaras. I don't believe Ulanovas will get to much attention.

[Kaunietis]

I believe Walkup is SG-SF.

There is no 3pt shooting in that team except Milaknis.
