The most striking personal performance was organized by defender LaMelo Ballas, who competed at the then Prienai-Birštonas Vytautas Club. The nineteen-year-old basketball player scored 22 points (3/5 double, 4/5 trit, 4/4 penalty), 9 rebounds, 5 assists, intercepted ball, blocking and two errors in 29 minutes.
Ballas, who played most effectively for the Hornets club, clearly outpointed Dallas team leader Lukas Dončičius. The Slovenian, who played weakly, spent just 24 minutes on the field, lost all five triples and left the field with just 12 points.
Luka marked the last half or less in the game against the Miami Heat on December 14, 2019, which the Slovenian left after playing just two minutes due to injury.
