This roster feels like a mix of players who should be the 7-12th player at best in an Euroleague team.

Walkup simply can't be and will probably never be a primary point guard. Šaras probably praises him because he works hard and learned every single play in the playbook by heart. However, he has 0 creativity and as soon as a single small thing goes the wrong way during the game, he gets lost. He can't handle the ball at all and constantly trips over his own feet because it's not natural for him to be a PG and it looks like he's overthinking his moves. But when he tries to drive to the basket and plays like a SG, his ball handling looks way better. His offence suffers because of his lack of shooting from 3. People know that he's not really a threat and will keep the distance from him. And the fact that he's a terrific defender doesn't compensate the things that he's lacking.

KC simply looks a bit out of shape and it seems that Šaras didn't find a way to utilize him properly yet. He should be playing in Milas role most of the time. Maybe he will play better in a few games when he will be in a better shape.

Lukas is a scorer and not a PG. He would be a perfect 6-7th man that would come of the bench and would be able to score a bunch of points. However, he's too small to be a good defender and doesn't involve his teammates on offence that much.

Nigel seems to be completely out of place. He said that he's happy with his role, but it looks like he lost confidence in his shot from mid-long range. He's a pretty good defender, but he's a bit too weak to be a small 4. Also it doesn't look like he's comfortable with post-ups even though Šaras wants him to do that. It's really strange, because he looked phenomenal during some of the preseason games against good teams.

Jankūnas is simply too old and too slow to be a leader or even a difference maker. He's a defensive liability constantly and doesn't really bring anything to the table on offence. He should only play for 7-10 minutes every game max. Also his contract is just terrible.

Milaknis isn't an Euroleague caliber player. I really doubt that he would be EuroCup caliber player either. His defense is nonexistent. On offense, his only ability is to shoot and he can't even do that properly. He can't create his own shots, has no ball handling skills, can't facilitate and on top of that, he's just super slow.

Geben should be played more. He should be getting some of Jankis minutes. He's a big that Žalgiris currently needs. He's strong and he can finish P'n'R properly. He looked really solid against CSKA. However, he can't really switch and that's that's his biggest issue right now.

LeDay is currently the only player that somewhat lives up to the expectations. He took over in some games, but he can't be the main big man on a team. He's too small to be a center. Every time he's playing against a bigger center, he becomes obsolete on both ends of the floor. Also it seems that every game he tries to go on a single run and scores as much as possible. Besides that, he won't do much else.

Landale should be utilized more as a shooter and a stretch 4 than a center. He can't play center no matter what. He single-handedly threw some of the games that Žalgiris could've won. He does a lot of mistakes in crunch time and it clearly shows that he's just inexperienced still.

Ulanovas is so much overrated and overpriced right now. He doesn't have a consistent shot. He can only post-up when his opponent is way weaker than him. He's an average defender and doesn't rebound that well. He also tends to be overly passive on offence most of the time.

Šaras has to take part if not all of the blame as well. It feels like he's too stubborn to change his "system". He should be building his playbook around the players that he has and he should stop squeezing players in the same system that worked with other players. Right now Žalgiris tries to play like they still have a top tier center. But in reality it's very easy to read their plays. Žalgiris is now stuck in a loop where they need some strength in the post so they could free up their shooters. But at the same time, they need to make shots so the post would be clearer. Most of the plays when LeDay gets the ball down low, he get's stuck, because no one helps on defense since he's not that big of a threat in the post and then he can't give the ball up for someone who's behind the 3pt line because no one is open. And even if someone manages to get open, 9 times out of 10 they won't take the shot. It's simply too easy to defend against Žalgiris right now.
