he was cut off.


BS that he was cut over #6. That guy is awful regardless if a wanted PG.

That said Gecevicius was a defensive liability. And offensively he only shoot 3s.

Gecevicius can move without the ball, and hes not incompetent with the ball. I would have kept him, those PGs has to be cut, they are truly awful. IT seems they gonna keep one of those, probably Cizauskas, who is my least favorite, a PG who literally cant handle the ball :-?

Cizauskas needs to be taken, we need youth filling up this position, even though they suck. He's still young enough to atleast be competent when running an offense, but I agree, he hasn't improved alot since his U-19 days it seems.

Kind of sad that the coach makes D-mo play on the perimeter. He's a better post player than JV... way more skilled move wise.

His finishing isn't nearly as good, I wouldn't call him better post player. JV is definitely ebtter. D-mo has very similar semi go to move where he drives to his right, but its more desperate, than effective, because he is not a foul drawer nor consistent finisher.

Seibutis. Amazing role player. Can shoot 3s, drive to the basket, play PG if necessary, slash, and is experienced. And he's one of LTU's best defenders.

Think he was drafted by the Mavs back in the day.

He has like alot more post moves than Jonas and is way more fluid on them and what makes him even more dangerious is great passing abiliety for a big.He had some sweet passes yesterday and today in the post.

Russia gave up. Never closed out on 3 pt shooters. Keep chucking low quality shoots too. They don't give a **** and aren't this bad usually.

What do you guys mean Jonas is actually playing well today?! Are you sure!? I thought he had been exposed and all his upside was lost after his last game? How is this possible? Is there any way to undo a burnt Raptors jersey? I lit my #17 on fire assuming he was no longer going to become anything after that one game.
