Zalgiris Kaunas 2019 roster, stats and best five

10 draftable players from Zalgiris Kaunas's 2019 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 2019, this is the board: 10 draftable basketball players, led by Zach Leday at PIR 13.2. You draft exactly one of them for the slot you spun, and they must be placed at a position they actually played — 1 of the 10 can play the point and 4 can play the big spots.

6 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 perimeter defence — 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.

  • Lukas Lekavicius — PG · 10.5 PPG, 1.3 RPG, 2.8 APG · PIR 10.2
  • Zach Leday — PF · 11.8 PPG, 4.7 RPG, 1.0 APG · PIR 13.2
  • Thomas Walkup — SG · 9.6 PPG, 3.6 RPG, 5.5 APG · PIR 12.7
  • Jock Landale — C · 11.0 PPG, 4.4 RPG, 1.0 APG · PIR 10.4
  • Paulius Jankunas — PF · 3.0 PPG, 3.1 RPG, 0.8 APG · PIR 4.9

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 Zach Leday led this team is the edge. With 6 underdogs, it is also a workable board for Make the Playoffs.
