Lithuania squad

[TalkBasket]

There still few months until the squad will be chosen but we can start talking about it now. Hopefully it won't happen as it happened in Eurobasket 2005 when 8 main players didn't play for ridicilous reasons but young team performed very well. The main problem is point guards. We have two great point guards - Sarunas Jasikevicius and Rimantas Kaukenas. Jasikevicius' excuse not to play is that he is tired after the season while Kaukenas has some personal problems with coach Antanas Sireika. I hope that this time we'll get them both to play and would great. Lithuania has a strong frontline but one of the best centers in NBA - Zydrunas Ilgauskas has only played few games for our NT while he played in LKL. When he moved to NBA he had serious foot injury and he has never player for national team since. Ilgauskas didn't have any injuries for a few years and he still doesn't play which makes many people very angry and even calling him not Lithuanian. The good thing is that we have few players to choose from.

The best team would be (my opinion):

C Zydrunas Ilgauskas
PF Darjus Lavrinovic
SF Ramunas Siskauskas
SG Arvydas Macijauskas
PG Sarunas Jasikevicius

Robertas Javtokas
Ksistof Lavrinovic
Darius Songaila
Paulius Jankunas or Linas Kleiza
Simas Jasaitis
Saulius Stombergas or Renaldas Seibutis
Rimantas Kaukenas

The most likely squad:

C Robertas Javtokas
PF Darjus Lavrinovic
SF Ramunas Siskauskas
SG Arvydas Macijauskas
PG Vidas Ginevicius

Ksystof Lavrinovic
Darius Songaila
Paulius Jankunas
Simas Jasaitis
Renaldas Seibutis
Mindaugas Lukauskis
Tomas Delininkaitis
