Lithuanian Shooting Guards

[Straight forward]

I watched Indusaitis' season highlights and I don't understand why wouldn't he attract NBA attention. I don't see so skilled and smooth SGs in EL. There's none. OK, Biberovic when it comes to shooting, but even he is not so smooth as silk and doesn't have as much handles and slashing game as Nojus has. I love Jakucionis jumper, but I think Indrusaitis has by far most effortless jimmy in the country, be far. He raises that ball so naturally and takes it off like it's nothing and shot the thee 43% last season. I specially like how he makes a quick fake, takes a dribble, pulls up - boom, bucket. That's elite. You can't make this smoother than that. He's on the same tier with Rooney, Karnisovas, Jasikevicius, Macijauskas, Siskauskas when it comes to jump shot and to some extent he may be even more flexible and smooth than some of those guys. Terrific jimmy and he can shoot spot up, off the dribble, hanging in a year longer (mid range and fade away), all kind off shots. Legitimate 3 way scorer and he is very shifty going down hill. He's a good athlete too and pretty good defender. So what's the obstacle for him to be an NBA role player? A lack of degree of strength and burst? Maybe, but he is pretty good athlete and with this jumper and smooth driving he seems to me good fit for contemporary NBA, specially that he is not black hole defensively (differently than Jokubaitis, Sirvydis, Rubstavicius). There's no highlights of his play making, but he can pass too. Scouts says that he might end up being one of the most skilled 2024 class SG, but he's not an ISO freak. He doesn't take too many shots and plays very fundamentally sound and balanced basketball. Personally I think he's underrated and I don't see a reason why he couldn't be drafted in second round 2025 or 2026.

From all our prospects I like Jakucionis and Indrusaitis shooting the most. Splash bros. They have amazing jump shot form and are more skilled in terms of individual talent than the rest (even more than Jokubaitis, Rubstavicius, Sirvydis, Brazdeikis).

I think our offense will be sensationally good since ~2028 and further with these mentioned players. Jakucionis, Indrusaitis, Rubstavicius, Sirvydis, Buzelis, Jokubaitis in the same team would be amazing burst of shooting and scoring, very likely upper hand tier than Jasikevicius, Macijauskas, Siskauskas, Stombergas in 00s.

I think Jakucionis and Indrusaitis should be most talented 2 guard punch in U18 EB scene. And there's tons of talent as we know, but they should be the best duet still, IMO.

How his jump shot "looks" is all very nice but I'm withholding my enthusiasm until we learn where it tends to fall in the next four years or so.

Dude, do you watch basketball at all?

[mice]

Certainly!

"Exciting talent in Lithuanian SGs! Nojus Indrusaitis looks promising, but all have unique strengths. Who will dominate this decade?"

[Hepcat]

Dude, do you watch basketball at all?

Yes. But it's women whose "form" I judge. Basketball players I judge by their production.

[Straight forward]

I watched Rubstavicius highs, most seem, but few news. I would tend to compare him with Sirvydis now. Both lefties, standing around 203cm. The main difference is that Rubstavicius is a bit more athletic and has quicker first step. He's more explosive and has more burst. He elevates super impressive sprints in open court for 203cm. Sirvydis a bit behind in this matter. But I feel like Sirvydis has more manipulation with pace and has more developed ISO skills in certain ways like crossovers, step backs, several hesitation moves, super polished spins and eurosteps, like he brings more intangibles to his half court offense. Rubstavicius has some of that, but not on that level. Also Sirvydis has quicker trigger than Rubstavicius. Rubstavicius, on other hand, is more fluid body, smooth as silk and he doesn't need that much intangibles to be effective. He can fake his driving sides and with pretty fast first step to go into contact and absorb the contact. Both are pretty good at it, but Rubstavicius upside is higher there. It's really hard to say now who is having higher upside. I feel like Rubstavicius is more dangerous in open court and probably would be better in NBA than Sirvydis, but in tight FIBA court where intangibles play big part it's trickier. Both seem to me basically having the same elite EL level player's upside, but I still have Rubstavicius as having a bit higher upside somehow, but now I'm not 100% sure TBH.

I'm looking closely how Sabonis will make Grigonis and Sirvydis lives easier in NT 2024. IMO, Domas is perfect player to play with for such shooters who are great off ball and at the same time can play some with it. I think in 2025 we'll have amazing options when around Domas will be such players as Sirvydis and Rubstavcius and very likely still the same Grigonis. That is a bucket time. So now it's the key to see how this chemistry is working. Sabonis already helped Grigonis a lot to be super effective in 2022 with great efficiency. One great hand off and such players have open looks from three. Deadly. Now I want that to be pushed even further into perfection and out offense might look flawless at time and very easy to execute.

In 2028 it should be flawless offense when Jakucionis, Indrusaitis, Sirvydis, Rubstavicius will be moving around Sabonis. All 4 guys are deadly on and off the ball. So Sabonis would just have to do his thing creating them looks and scoring opportunities.

Now look only at this highlights. You can see how much Sabonis was creating the space for Grigonis:

Interesting discussion on Rubstavicius. I LOLed on that "Too hard to spell"

Indrusaitis' smoothness and skill are exceptional, particularly his effortless jumper and versatile scoring. His 43% three-point shooting and elite pull-up game are impressive. Defensively, he’s solid and athletic. Although he might need more strength and burst, his shooting and overall play fit the modern NBA well. A second-round pick in 2025 or 2026 seems likely. Together with Jakucionis, they could form an outstanding shooting duo check, potentially elevating Lithuanian basketball to new heights.

[Straight forward]

Rubstavicius with 12pts in 13min. He can hoop. I still think he will be more deadly scorer than Sirvydis, even though their upsides are somewhat from the same tier. I hope Rubstavicius three will be more consistent and deadly. Rubstavicius has higher motor, while Sirvydis more manipulation and crafty skills. We'll see, but we need more talent.

If this upcoming perimeter talent depth won't change LTU basketball this decade, no-one will cause we just can't produce such explosions on the daily basis:

Jakucionis, Jokubaitis, Marciulionis, Buika
Indrusaitis, Rubstavicius, Brazdeikis, D. Giedraitis
Buzelis, Sirvydis, Lelevicius, Zibuda

Those 3 marked are 2 way beasts. Meaning they are locking defensive side as well. That's when we will be going at full speed with those pieces. And very very solid several back-ups in those positions. If medals not coming with this new wave, we can comfortably establish our selves as mediocre for good.

Indrusaitis is truly an exceptional player. His skill set and smoothness on the court are rare, particularly in the EuroLeague. His shooting ability, combined with his handles and slashing game, set him apart. Indrusaitis' natural shooting form and versatility in scoring make him a legitimate three-level scorer. https://menuspricesph.com/pepper-lunch-menu/.4o His athleticism and defensive capabilities add to his value. While he may need to develop more strength and burst, his overall talent suggests he could be a great fit for the contemporary NBA. With his fundamentals and balanced play, he deserves attention from NBA scouts.

[Straight forward]

Indrusaitis looks smooth, very slippery. If his shot will be falling and I think it will, he will also have a good tournament. Those 2 guards - Jakucionis and Indrusaitis - is like some kind of compensation for all the MEH stretch guard wise 2010-2024.
