Overall or currently active? I would name currently active. Used to love Macijauskas, Šaras and specially Šiška, but Macas already retired, Šaras is getting old and Šiška is injury prone lately. So lately I'm most interested in these players:
M. GeceviÄius. One of the brightest young players in Europe and probably having the most effective club career from young Lithuanian talents. Deadly shooter, unselfish, great passer and hight BB IQ. Lacking athleticism though.
D. Motiejūnas. Can't follow him closely, but enjoyed him playing in LKL. Universal big man with many tools in offense. Can be unstoppable in the offensive end. Poor defender and rebounder.
J. ValanÄiÅ«nas. 18 yo young talent. The kid possess some explosive talent, even though that talent is still very raw and hard to name. Great rebounder, aggressive under the boards, sweet touch and feeling for the tip ins. Lacking weight and skills, but highly expected to be dominant in the future.
M. Kuzminskas. Currently adjusting to Euroleague's level, not in the best place to say the least. Universal small forward, pretty good athlet. Could ne dominant in his day, but lacking consistency. Could be a role player at the highest level in the future.
Ž. JanaviÄius. One of Lithuanian PG prospects, having Eurocup experience with Å iauliai. Very athletic, quick and aggressive slasher. Good rebounder and sharp passer. Unfortunately seems to have mental issues, very inconsistent shooter and lacking IQ for a point guard. Seems like he might struggle with ability to play well for all seasons. Basically tends to go up and down. Still possess potential to become strong Euroleague's level player.
