I've decided to make a shot on Lithuanian PG - Žydrūnas Kelys. Most of international fans, I suppose, haven't seen him yet and he's about to play in Euroleague with Rytas next season.
Name: Žydrūnas Kelys
Date of birth: 1987 04
Height: 188
Weight: 65 kilos
Nationality (-ies Lithuanian
Best position: Point guard
Other positions: Shooting guard (combo guard)
Strengths: Very fast and highly coordinated player with sharply expressed offensive mind. A good slasher and a decent shooter, can nail a difficult shot. Solid passer, doesn't mind to play one on one.
Weaknesses: Needs to get some weight to get strength, tends to make insecure passes- do not treasure the ball, tends to get him self into difficult situations, needs to improve decision making and ball handling abilities.
Intangibles: He has balls and he proved that playing against top teams of LKL. His favorite player is Šaras
Potential (is he likely to improve and how much?): He improved last year a lot, so being 23 he has a lot of room to improve yet. In worst scenario I see him a role bench player in Euroleague/Eurocup average team, but he has the potential to become a top class point guard in two more upcoming years (the best scenario).
Overall level (local, Eurocup, Euroleague etc.): Euroleague.
