Pocius had some injury I think and missed bigger part of the season. So I am not sure wether he's ready to make a debut in NT right now.
You are right. I would pick Kaukenas, Saras and Alijevas as the pure guards. Siska can play as SG and PG (as we saw many times in NT) although it's not his natural position. Kleiza can play SG in NBA but he might be too big in international game.
As for Gecevicius, he lacks consitency. He wasn't getting too much playing time in Rytas so it's not so easy to be consistent when you play just few minutes sometimes. But we saw how great he could be when it's his day. Remember his 20 points that gave a win against Zalgiris in LKL finals? If he fits in NT then he could be very useful with his 3-point shooting.
I can't see other serious candidates at the moment.
By the way, does anyone know if friendly games will be live on TV? I was planning to go to Siemens Arena if Ilgas was playing. But I might still go even though the opponents will be pretty weak.
