Rolandas Jakstas

On a physically mature Zalgiris team that was incredibly balanced in terms of talent, the player that stood out the most was 17-year-old combo forward Rolandas Jakstas.

Showing an excellent frame, strong fundamentals and nice versatility, Jakstas was the most productive player on his team. Mostly an inside player at this stage of his development, Jakstas is strong and shows a willingness to operate with his back to the basket. He has good footwork and a nice touch around the basket. Jakstas is also able to step outside from time to time and knock down the occasional 3-pointer. He must develop his ball-handling and continue to work on his perimeter skills as he's simply too small to play the power forward spot he currently likes to operate from.
