Pros: The Lithuanian guard is probably one of the best pure point guards in the draft. Paulauskas has great defence and should be able to shutdown any opponent, he has great vision and will be able to grab a ton of steals. His passing and ballhandling are pretty good, he should easily slip into a starting position. Modestas is an athletic freak, not a lot of rookies could play a full 48 minutes. His jumping and quickness outmatch the average guard, for a guard he has freakish strength and could be the strongest guard right away. The Lithuanian has a great jumper and easily drains free throws with ease.
Cons: His biggest flaw has to be his offensive game, despite have a great shot, he can't hit 3 pointers or drive to the basket. For the calibre of talent he has this could really hurt his draft stock. His hands and ballhandling could make him slide from a starter to a very good role player, if he can't rack up the assists.
Overall: There is a lot of potential with this guy and he could end up being a starter. If you want a pure point guard this guy fits the build. At worst he could be a defensive specialist at best a great pure point guard. This guy isn't going to drop at all, he probably will move be a guy that will move higher than most see him going.
Pick Projection: 9-17
