Rytis Kazlauskas, who contacted the club’s director, P. Motiejūnas, learned how the work of the Žalgiris representatives in the United States is progressing and how a newcomer to the team is being sought.
“We have contracts with scouts who work and help us. The main scout and M. Schiller and I have a WhatsApp group where we receive messages before each game that we must monitor certain players of one team or another. We have a database where we can see which players have a contract, which are free agents. We are looking with the coach and seeing if there are prospects, ”said P. Motiejūnas in an interview with Žalgiris Insider.
During the interview, the club’s owner also revealed that he had already arrived in the United States together with the coach with a list of 3-4 players interested in the team.
“When we talk about this season, we are looking at 3-4 names. If we talk about players of all positions that have contracts that are in the G League and have been seen by a coach, then that list is 30-50 names. Now we know what we need, the list is quite short ”, revealed the head of Žalgiris.
“There are selected surnames that are of greatest interest. We see how they are doing here, if we have analyzed well what their physical form is, how they manage the team, how they interact with other players. Living foundations are much more. The other part is sports, with one we will have a better defense, with the other, an attack. We try to make the final drawing and make a decision “, – P. Motiejūnas named the selection criteria.
During the conversation, performances by Rokas Jokubaitis and other Lithuanians, help from Lithuanians working in the NBA, and other elements of the NBA Summer League kitchen were also discussed.
