Rytas has got some scrub Dilys at PF position, maby he can start being useful in Europe, who knows...

BTW Rytas playing today against Minsk at 19:00 local time which is +2UTC.

Dilys can be helpful, but not in C position. Rytas rarely played with 2 PF at the same time on the court this season. It will be big and probably painful transition for them if they won't buy or borrow some other C. And it's most probable, seeing no replacement for Newley in SF position, where Rytas suffers the most.

They played without a legit C a lot at the start of the season, as that's how they went through training camp with both JV and Samardziski out playing for national teams and even when they returned coach fatty would often go back to the tried and true combo. Granted, they haven't been doing much of that as the season went on and Jonas got in shape, but I don't see the problem. An opportunity for Jonas to learn how to be more careful with those silly fouls.

That link makes me not want to watch it. I don't know about you guys but it keeps freezing up for me. Guess I'll follow the boxscore. 4pts 1reb so far.

I think it's the beginning of an intimidating facial tattoo.

btw, JV with 9/6/3 after one quarter.
