What do you think about this prospect from Lithuania? 19 year old forward play in Rutgers university and averaged 10 points per game. Newcomber voted to 1st newcombers team. Or he will not have problems for height in the future? He just 203 cm and play like center.

From what I've read he seems to have a good basketball body. Hes very strong in the post. He looks promising but it is to early to tell if he will exceptional. For now he is a solid rookie on an poor team. ESPN and Rutgers have him listed as a foward.

He will be intersting to watch....
He's playing as C there but I can't see any perspectives for him to be C in men basketball. I think he can become pretty decent power forward but still he isn't very good shooter...I would like to see him playing with U-20 this summer, I think he could be used as PF there (great tandem with Staniulis, by the way)
I caught a few Rutgers games when they were on TV. He didn't do anything to standout and I was specifically watching for him because he's Lithuanian. This doesn't say much as it's a small sample size and he's still young.
