Zalgiris Kaunas 2001 roster, stats and best five

6 draftable players from Zalgiris Kaunas's 2001 season — full stat lines, a suggested best five, and how this board plays in Road to Glory.

When the draw lands on Zalgiris Kaunas in 2001, this is the board: 6 draftable basketball players, led by Grygorii Khizhniak at PIR 21.6. You draft exactly one of them for the slot you spun, and they must be placed at a position they actually played — 2 of the 6 can play the point and 2 can play the big spots.

1 of these players count as underdogs (peak PIR under 10), so this club-season is also drawable in Make the Playoffs.

The best five to draft from this roster

Filling the point, two wings and two big spots by PIR while respecting placement rules gives this five. Together they are strongest in scoring and thinnest in efficiency — if you are only drafting one player from this board, the biggest lift usually comes from whoever covers the category your existing four are missing.

  • Steve Woodberry — PG/SG/SF · 12.5 PPG, 4.5 RPG, 3.1 APG · PIR 15.1
  • Tomas Masiulis — PF · 8.9 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 1.7 APG · PIR 11.7
  • Dainius Salenga — SF · 11.7 PPG, 2.6 RPG, 1.9 APG · PIR 11.3
  • Grygorii Khizhniak — C · 14.4 PPG, 8.1 RPG, 1.4 APG · PIR 21.6
  • Donatas Slanina — SG · 16.6 PPG, 2.7 RPG, 1.7 APG · PIR 11.1

How this board plays

In Classic every stat line above is visible during the draft. In Hidden mode you get only the names and positions, so knowing that Grygorii Khizhniak led this team is the edge. With only 1 underdog, it is a thin board for Make the Playoffs — consider a re-spin there.
