    Birutis,Motiejunas,Maldunas and Valanciunas himself is right there with them in photos and who knows what is Jonas role when media is sended home and doors is closed

    Playing practise with that funny Taiwan tourist roster of NKLA players that everyone made fun of? Ok if that helps Sirvydis sure he can do that

      This.​ + Tubelis will join only on 28 too.

      Guarding small guards I agree, but guarding multiple position players not just small guards Dimsa and Normantas simply have better bodies for that

      Not every NT even have that small guard.2 main possible opponents in 2023 Greece and Serbia dont even have such type, after Sloukas is out.


      I repeat coaches desicion putting Sirvydis and Giedraitis in other camp makes zero sense if coaching staff would see them in top 9 playoofs rotation

      Radzevicius and Sajus got injury and coaches calling to main camp not Sirvydis,not Jogela but 2 PF-C types instead?

      That's says to me coaches sees more problems in frontcourt positions than SF.

      My guess they see Brazdeikis,Sedekerskis,Kuzminskas filling SF position minutes in main top 9 playoffs rotation
      The idea of reserve NT is to give space for young talent to show themselves and to get to know with our talent pool. Sirvydis needs that. No-one knows how good he is, but he surely needs playing time, exposure. My prediction simply is that he will look good, but we'll have to wait and see.

      You highly underrate Summer League. It's not easy there to standout. Plenty of NBA players and all of them are greedy and talented. The game is ISO, but if you standout you have certain skills and talent. Iggy was 18ppg in Summer League and we know his instant impact to the NT. Sirvydis (even though being older) averaged 15.5ppg and he did it in just 22,5mpg. F.e. 11th pick French Ousmane Dieng scored 15ppg in this year's SL, but he did it in 30,5mpg. Petrusev, establish 10eff kinda guy in EL, was dropping 12,5ppg in SL. Nico Mannion, established Italy's NT player, had 8,7ppg. He already is a role player for Italy and this summer his role will be even bigger. There's tons of talent is SL. Tons. Whenever Sirvydis is ready to give something to NT we'll see, but don't look down on his achievement in SL, that's hard to do.

      As for Giedraitis we need him against Montenegro's American dude. We need him against USA dudes as Jalen Brunson, and you can throw him against bigger guards too. He used to play mainly SG in ACB and he was guarding best oppositions guards for Estudiantes. We can even throw him against Bogdanovic, Walkup and he will fight like a lion.

      I'm OK with Normantas generally, but he has worse lateral quickness, loses concentration more often, doesn't read team defense as good as Giedraitis and makes more mental mistakes. It's good he can be pretty good at switch all defense. But generally Dimsa and Normantas are very similar. IDK if there will be huge need of those 2 similar players as DImsa obviously has an edge and will play much more. His main weapon is that he's cheeky, but he can make good and bad things with that. In LKL finals he screwed down the stretch in that do or die game generally.

      I didn't mention yesterday, but a lot will depend if Tubelis is ready to be mobile 5. Our D with JV and D-Mo will be crap, let's face it. We need to have that alternative unit who could surivive defensively some stretches and to change the dynamics of some games. I think Maldunas is just a practice meat. He would be destroyed by better teams. It's on Tubelis. If Tubelis is not ready, I would even throw Sedekerskis at 5. If 203cm Garuba can play 5, then 205cm Sedekerskis can too, even if he's couple of kg lighter.

      And lastly I still hope Marciulionis can surprise, even though I feel it's 1 or 2 years premature. If Kariniauskas will substitute Jokubaitis, it means probably even worse defender subs Rokas. And the worse thing that Kariniauskas is trash at both ends. To me a back up PG should be a bulldog defensively. I would actually favor Bickauskis more than Kariniauskas, with all seriousness.

          And Radzeviciu substation? or only centers needed to be replaced for practising?

          If my math works they have more true centers than true Sf in that camp

            Plenty of combos. Brazdeikis, Dimsa, Normantas, Kuzminskas, Sedekerskis. Easier to fill it.

            As for Sirvydis and first games against Jordan (Jordania) is just a scratch. The key is how he looks in the camp. He has ambitions to make the senior team, IMO.

              Maybe u are right

              Most likely thats why Sirvydis is not seen in head coach plans that he is not training with main NT players

                The main reason - Sirvydis needs all the freedom and attention in reserve NT to figure out who he is ATM. He doesn't need to run without the ball for 3 days with senior NT and to play couple of first soft practices. All eyes on him against Jordan, he must show that he's the best player of reserve NT team if he has serious ambitions to make senior NT and get the role. Again, we know that Leksas unleashed rumor he looks like the best player in the camp. Can't wait to see how he's doing against Jordan. Some shots may not drop in, I'm alright with that, but overall his aggression level and various skillset should prevail, he must standout. There's also Jogela after good season and he's ACB kinda material now. If he's obviously better than Jogela then he can become a role player of senior NT, IMO.

                Marciulionis
                D. Giedraitis, I. Sargiunas
                Sirvydis, Jogela

                That's the players I want to see against Jordan.

                • I rather have soft training with euroleague players than super hard versus taivan Nkla tourists if im seriuos about making NT.

                  But maybe Sirvydis is american mindset he needs to bully weak ones to increase his own believe now i gonna show to real players too


                  as alwasy most topics going about 10-12th bench players that wont even play in most critical games and not top 9 main players that matters

                    What Taiwan? What are you talking about? Why do you have to be lost all the time? Sirvydis and other best reserve NT players will never play against Taiwan.

                    Lithuania will play 2 first games against Jordan (33 in FIBA ranking). It has nothing to do with Taiwan. There's no games for Lithuania NT against Taiwan.


                    In Taiwan will go Paulauskases and such. Balciunas side project. IDK why he decided to put those scrubs under "reserve NT" umbrella, that was silly (just because Taiwan asked the team to be related with NT). After the games against Jordan, 3-4 best players will join senior NT and only scrubs will go to Taiwan. I doubt even Jogela, Marciulionis, Sargiunas will go assuming they are not taken to the senior NT .

                    I'm starting to have a problem with Balciunas. He picked to soft exhibition last summer because of money. Now he's shitting reserve NT name because of Taiwans askings and money.

                    • Dinosour expert

                      dude you dont even get my jokes.U always are lost not me. I know well where with who gonna play, you dont see smile?


                      Sirvydis is ale training in same camp with players that will play with Taiwan Thats why im calling them taiwan tourists.

                      If Balciunas make jokes of Lithuania name on jersey with player he choosen,i also would put my jokes in same way



                      That Balciunas gonna do his money manipulations again it was clear from day 1 when Gevdilas become president. Such people dont change

                      He using Lithuanian basketball name,sending joke players to Taiwan in such way selling lithuanian basketball name and also fooling Taiwan basketball people

                      If Taiwan would understand what kinda joke players Balciunas is sending,i wouldnt be suprised they would close any future partnership with Lithuania


                      Funny things those players is literally federation people players like Paulauskas son or Vainauskas club players. Balciunas is doing his manipulations on all fronts behind scenes and comes with poker face in media and telling how tallent and hungry ltu NT will be


                      give him credit smart manipulator

                        I'm not even sure I studied this table last summer (too painful):

                        Lithuania - FIBA Eurobasket 2022

                        But what you say was very true.

                          Let me solemnly assure you that I could watch Žalgiris' 2022-23 Euroleague games repeatedly and in slow motion and the results, scores, and Giedraitis' play would all stay the same. Logically my opinion would therefore remain unchanged.

                          Oh come on. I see all other basketball observers giving such accolades for being the "best perimeter defender" to Arnas Butkevičius with Tomas Dimša and even Margiris Normantas and Tadas Sedekerskis getting mentions. Heaping more praise on Giedraitis than he's earned on the court doesn't help his profile/career. It just sets him up to subsequently be labelled a "disappointment".

                            When will this Taiwan tournament take place and which teams are participating?
