Strengths: Precocious player with excellent size and point guard instincts ... Really understands the game well for a young PG and excels at passing the ball and finding teammates ... His size makes him very intriguing as a 6-5 point guard, as he can double as a 2G as well as cause size mismatches and see over defenders running the point ... Good defender, has excellent foot speed, especially laterally (drew a charge on Leandro Barbosa, one of the quickest guards in the world) ... A solid athlete who is equally adept in the half court as well as in an up tempo game ... A decent outside shooter, also scores well on the move with a nice repertoire of mid range shots ... Shows excellent creativity and vision ... Good ball handler ...

Weaknesses: Lacks experience playing at a high level, although he had a great opportunity to shine in a starting role for the Lithuanian National Team at the 2006 World Championships ... Still hasn't fully matured physically. Needs to add a lot of strength to his body ... Added strength will allow him to take the ball inside and become a more effective rebounder ... Must become better shooting the 3, has good touch but needs consistency.

Notes: Another in a growing line of recent big European point/combo guards ... Impressed NBA scouts at the 2006 Reebok Euro Camp in Treviso, Italy ... Started at point guard for the 2006 Lithuanian National Team at the World Championships in Japan and helped lead them to a 7th place finish.
