Pros: The Russian has the potential to be a dynamic offensive player. Rimas can post up, has a decent range, and will be a threat to hit threes. Kurtinaitis has the potential to defend be a good perimeter defender and create turnovers. Athletically, he has a ton of stamina and can play big minutes right away.
Cons: Rimas is very raw, he can't start right away and at the moment is a role player. He maybe able to play a bit of guard, but he will turn the ball over a lot because of his below average ball handling. The biggest has to be his athleticism, for a small forward he is below average. He isn't very quick or strong and will be outmatched by opponents. Rimas is a very weak post defender and will never improve.
Overall: I think most gms will want Rimas because of his offensive potential. If he reaches his potential he could be an option. However, he is a work in progress. Rimas needs to hit the gym and improve his quickness and strength. Kurtinaitis could be a bust also, he has a lot of question marks. Still is worth the risk.
Pick Projection: 8-15
