Straight Forward I also have another question: what do you think about Marius Petravicius? Does he still play for the NT? If he still plays for them do you think that Kemzura should take him to Eurobasket?

Marijonas PetraviÄius is willing to play for the NT, but he faces injury issues lately. He's surely will get invitation to the NT camp and if he'll be healthy I think he'll make it to the final 12. He was probably the best Lithuania's player in Eurobasket 2009 (Lithuania struggled big time though). Lithuania has two pure matured centers currently - Javtokas and PetraviÄius. The first one is more athletic and probably a little bit better defender, but PetraviÄius more all- rounded center. He can play pick & roll, he can play in law post creating the shot for him self, he's having a feeling for the right position, he can rebound and he is tough. With JasikeviÄius on the team he could be very effective. If he's 100% ready, I prefer him over Javtokas. Another thing, Darjus LavrinoviÄ say is more offensively talented player, but when I see some games he constantly refuses to go inside the paint, I'm thinking that such hard working pure center as PetraviÄius would work out better for Lithuania, specially having in mind we have so many players with perfect distant shooting (not saying that KemzÅ«ra shouldn't find place for Darjus as well).
