STRENGHTS	WEAKNESSESS
great height for a guard standing at 6’6 without shoes. Very likely to grow even more years away from filling out but good body frame. Has long limbs (6’9 wingspan) has a really long strides combined with smooth body control and fluidity shooting potential is definitely there. Good wrist action doesn’t allow lack of strength get into his head. Really competitive nature tries to make an impact off the ball by attacking the glass and filling the open lanes behind the arc tremendous upside regarding his body, size, biological age and current level of experience & skills much above average court vision and rebounding ability for typical shooting guard. Can also play Small Forward with equal success	very underdeveloped physically at the moment. But has a potential to turn it into strength with time highly mobile and coordinated but appears to lack a bit in quickness at the moment. Doubtful to become top athlete can get very streaky with his shooting like many players his age has some offensive flair and may easily become above average ball handler but doesn’t protect the ball well for now and can get predictable with his offensive repertoire
OUTLOOK
Modestas is a tremendous talent and one of the best prospects in Europe from his class. He needs to continue working on his athleticism and all around game. Also he could specialize a bit more in some offensive department as he was not that much productive against older competition so far and you cannot blame only physical disadvantage for this. Anyway with his drive and plenty of room for improvement that he possess he may end up knocking on the door of the NBA Draft.
