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.
