2023 Lithuanian NT

[LuDux]

Unnoficial reserve NT toster according to TV3.lt: G.Maldūnas, D.Lavrinovičius, E.Tubutis, O.Pleikys, G.Nemeikša, D.Sirvydis, M.Jogėla, I.Sargiūnas, L.Beliauskas, D.Giedraitis, A.Marčiulionis plus Mr Mystery Man

[LuDux]

And official Student NT roster: R.Daunys, T.Zdanavičius, D.Romančenko, P.Danusevičius, V.Kozys, E.Sederevičius, N.Mineikis, A.Beručka, K.Giedraitis, M.Valinskas, K.Žemaitis, D.Stenionis

[Hepcat]

Surely that's not 27 year old Kristupas Žemaitis on the student roster. And Arnas Beručka is 26. They must be studying for their Ph.Ds.

[Straight forward]

Gotta love Uleckas decision, "personal reasons". Dude loves BB obviously. I assume Velicka makes the main camp directly cause there's no other explanation unless he's injured. To me still fun reserve NT. Sirvydis, Jogela, Giedraitis, Marciulionis, Sargiunas make it very relevant.

[Straight forward]

Birutis also out. Thanks god. Brazdeikis still in question. Eagerly waiting for Maksvytis press comf!

BTW Slava Ukraini! Watched Zelensky speech yesterday in Vilnius live. Amazing leader. Great atmosphere of NATO summit, Russian bigs will be defeated.

That welcome of Zelensky gave me goosebumps!

Seeing U20 group stage I'm more confident that Krivas can be a boost defensively for the NT at position 5. Not the guy who can switch all, but his defensive instincts and awareness compared to JV is like day and night. Really feels how to position himself in various situations:

[Straight forward]

Brazdeikis IN!

Now we still at least have competitive team with obvious core - Valanciunas, Sedekerskis, Brazdeikis, Jokubaitis.

[Straight forward]

OK, now could someone explain me what the heck will Maksvytis do with all three Valanciunas, Motiejunas, Birtutis? Anyone? Please?

They will compete for the worst defensive 5 in the planet?

[Straight forward]

Gotta love Balciunas energy Taiwan asked few friendly games, so he just collected random team which would gladly go there. He knows how to make money. I just hope he'll never again try to save money choosing weaker opponents for LTU senior NT for exhibition stage.

Who will tell him that this is list of candidates and not final roster? And that NBA players can't join team activities until certain term

[Shawshank]

From those names given my federation I would send this team to play Greece and hopefully huge size Serbia in 1/4

My assumption building team that Giannis will play and our NT will need size alot and be ready our frontcourt will be put in faul trouble


Jokubaitis,Kariniauskas
Dimsa,Nomantas,D.Giedraitis
Brazdeikis,Kuzminskas
Sedekerskis,Bendzius
Valanciunas,Dmo,Birutis


Respectable roster that most likely wont make top8,but if Giannis dont play making top 8 becomes realistic goal

Why not Kairys who can actually move and play D?

Do you realize that some-one will have to guard Montenegro mobile shooting bigs? Serbia can go small too. They have pieces like Smailagic, Pokusevski, Jovic and others.

Dėl vienokių ar kitokių priežasčių nebus ir Artūro Gudaičio, Evaldo Kairio. Skaitykite daugiau: https://www.15min.lt/24sek/naujiena/..._medium=copied

Because you were too much excited that Birutis is out.

There are much more weirder names in a reserve team: Tautvydas Baltrusaitis who is averaging 1pt in U20 EC right now and averaged 8 pts in RKL. Then undersized heavy center Budrys who averaged about 8 pts in the third worst NKL team. Mantas Litvinas - i don't even know him. He was benched in Siauliai and before that he had played in RKL. Obviously, he is not good for U20 team. Valunta - averaged 7 pts in Mazeikiai in NKL. J. Paukste - averaged about 9 pts in the worst NKL team, but he is the tallest human in Lithuania ever (224), so at least there is what to see.
