    BC Šiauliai

    C: M.Kingsley, V. Šarakauskas
    PF: B.Brown, V.Volkus, G.Orelikas
    SF: M.Kuzminskas, D.Gailius
    SG: A Šikšnius, Ž.Petraitis, V.Pauliukenas
    PG: xxx, L.Samėnas

    Main PG is still missing, it should be fpreigner

    BC Nevėžis

    C: R.Trakimas
    PF: E.Dimša, R.Ūzas
    SF: M.Simonavičius
    SG: D.Gvezdauskas
    PG: P.Beliavičius, V.Valiulis

    M.Bareika, M.Balčiūnas and G.Butkus also has contracts with the team, but it's still not clear will they join it

    G.Maciulevičius, H.Vorotnikovas and R.Grinius are with the team, but still without contracts.

    Nevėžis will rely mostly on youngsters this season, I doubt they'll be able to climb from bottom of BBL.


    P.S. maybe some mod could create new thread for BBL 2009/10 and move those posts [Done. rikhardur]

        According to variuos sources the main candidate for a PG spot is lithuanian Arvydas Eitutavičius (26 y/o, 188 cm). Last season he played in Klaipėdos "Neptūnas" where he had ~13pts, ~4reb, ~3ass and 1stl per game. He played very good in the second part of the season after Dainys left to Lietuvos Rytas and he became their main PG.

          It's still undecided which team will take 10th spot in BBL's Elite divison. Latvian basketball federation had to decide, but their board couldn't choose team (ASK Riga or Barons Riga). So they will pass the decision to BBL's board which will ultimately decide in upcoming days.

            It's official: Liepajas Lauvas will play in BBL Elite divison. They outbided two other candidates from Latvia - ASK Riga and Barons.

            Current Liepaja's roster:
            C ?/?
            PF Klavs Ansons/Edmunds Tukiss
            SF Juris Patmalnieks/Kalvis Sprude
            SG Martins Kravcenk/Einars Tukiss
            PG Vairis Pusaudzis/Renars Zeltins/Sandis Silavs

            Currenty they're having negotations with forward Janis Porzingis, who played in Italy (06/07 season in Lega A, 07/08 and beginning of 08/09 in LegaDue) recent seasons. Also they probably will re-sign PF Jevgenijs Kosuskins, who played in Liepaja last season.

              This is pretty unfair, that Liepaja got 10th place in BBL elite division, with Zalgiris voice they edged out TTY from Tallinn. Reason probably was that Zalgiris is too lazy to come to Tallinn and play with the stronger club as Heino Enden said.



              There should've at least been qualifying games between TTY from Tallinn and Liepaja, as Rytas representative said.

              Last year Estonian clubs did much better than Latvian ones in BBL, so 4 places to Latvia and 2 places Estonia is BS. Even 5 Lithuanian, 3 Latvian and 2 Estonian clubs would be fairer than current absurdity.

                        Here they are:

                        BK Ventspils

                        C Aaron Pettway, Lauris Blaus, Martins Meiers
                        PF Ronalds Zakis, Arturs Berzins
                        SF Mareks Jurevicus, Martins Berkis
                        SG Dairis Bertans, Kristaps Kanbergs
                        PG Janis Strelnieks, Mikus Sokolovs

                        Ventspils head coach said that they've completed roster for 95%. They will start season with this roster, but they may add some players (most likely PG and/or SF).

                        VEF Rīga
                        C Ivan Nelyubov, Andrejs Selakovs
                        PF Jurijs Aleksejevs, Arnas Labuckas
                        SF Gatis Jahovics, Zanis Peiners
                        SG Ingus Bankevics, Martynas Mazeika
                        PG Alex Renfroe, Janis Gailitis

                        VEF currently has open spot in PF as Rolands Freimanis went to Spain. I put there Labuckas, but I think in upcoming weeks or months they will sign one big man.

                        Liepajas Lauvas
                        C Klavs Ansons, Kalvis Sprude
                        PF Jevgenijs Kosuskins,
                        SF Laimonas Kisielius, Martins Kravcenko
                        SG Juris Patmalnieks, Sandis Silavs
                        PG Vairis Pusaudzis, Renars Zeltins

                        Liepaja are searching center. One possibility is Raitis Grafs.

                        Valmiera
                        C Blaz Cresnar, Roberts Mednis
                        PF Arturas Valeika, Janis Graudins
                        SF Juris Andzejevskis, Sandis Amolins
                        SG Reinis Strupovics
                        PG Janis Kaufmanis, Oskars Virsis

                          Thanks. Labuckas is surely sf. Only 9 players in Valmiera and Lauvas. Will Iljis and Malahovskis play for Valmiera, as they are in the roster on BBL page?
