NBA Comparisons:

Optimistic Outlook: Young Arvydas Sabonis
Pessimistic Outlook: Aleksander Radojevic

Strengths: Very athletic for his size. He has good offensive skills. He can pass, shoot, and handle the ball pretty well for a big guy. He runs the floor well and has very good court awareness for his age. He likes to dunk (which shows aggressiveness, which you want to see, especially in a post player).

Weaknesses: He only has 240lbs on his long frame and should add at least 10 to 20 lbs. more before he expects to bang with the physical post players of the NBA. He is also young, and lacks some game experience, but that will come with time. Needs to improve his post skills as well. Could use another year in Europe to get more comfortable to the post and "grow into his body."

Bottom line: Great prospect. Martynas is 7'3, athletic, skilled, and seems to be hungry. If he stays aggressive, bulks up to about 260, he could be a devasating player in the league one day. If he even comes close to Sabonis in his prime, he will be one hell of a player.
