Bojan is much better scorer... in past eurochampionship Bojan was on 22.5 ppg, and Mindaugas 15.3 ppg... if we are looking a better option on SF than Mindaugas cant be that guy... we need 3D guy, someone like Covington...

FIBA Eurobasket 2017
Bojan vs Kuzminskas
32.1mpg 23.9mpg
22.5ppg 15.3ppg
4.8RPG 4.3RPG (NOTE Valanciunas was a leader of all Championship)
N/A 0.2BPG
1APG 1.5APG(NOTE Kalnietis was a leader of all Championship)
1.2SPG 0.8SPG
2.7TPG 1.3TPG
122EFF 84EFF

Now Kuzminskas was bench player, and Bojan was Focal point, and Size/Atchletic vise Kuzminskas is way better, and Im sillent about non countable factors, there was so many times when Bojan just left other man open, and Kuzminskas was D on all the time , even against Porzingis who is way much Taller,

Anyhow, i think good forward should be our priority this summer, maybe a better point guard, Collison's D can be a bit problematic due to his seize, overall when you look at our team team height, it is a big big issue, if you have Collison/Joseph+Dipo+Bojan+Thad+Sabonis in the lineup at same time you have very undersized lineup, it can be very deadly on offense, because it's quick, but we could really use some taller players for different matchups, i think a point guard with good size and a wing with good size should be our priority in the offseason, people think we let other teams score so easy, but sometimes people just shoot over us :(

I sayed that before get Kuz from Knicks, hes not playing there , we could get him for 2nd rounder , everyone says that he is PF , but actually he is not, he is SF he can dribble , he can shoot , hes more atchletic than Bojan, In past eurochampionship he dunked on Porzingis,

He can give us chemistry with Sabonis, He is emotional player like Domas too, He plays hard, give us better atchleticism + Hes defence way better than Bojan's , and he have only 1year /2mln deal , so why not to make it happen?


I like Kuzminskas, but he has a lot of holes in he's game, 1st of all he's D is bad, in NBA you can't have your wing being bad on D, second of all, his very inconsistent on offense, not a great rebounder, he's a 10-13rd guy of the bench, he can ball from time to time, i do agree, we could use him on the bench on some nights, but his clearly not a major minute guy. Covington is much much better get, his offense is amazing and he has great body to play D.

I wish we could play him 48 minutes so he could help both the first and second teams. But Thad is important and needs his minutes. I think Sabonis's play will help teach Myles ways to improve. Sabonis may be a better teacher than Jefferson.

They are the same age dude, you talking about Sabonis like he is some kind of Veteran lol
I'm talking about Sabonis as our best rebounder, best passing big and best front court facilatator.
