Zalgiris Kaunas 2023 roster, stats and best five

12 draftable players from Zalgiris Kaunas's 2023 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 2023, this is the board: 12 draftable basketball players, led by Keenan Evans at PIR 18.3. You draft exactly one of them for the slot you spun, and they must be placed at a position they actually played — 4 of the 12 can play the point and 3 can play the big spots.

9 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 rebounding and thinnest in playmaking — 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.

  • Keenan Evans — PG · 17.3 PPG, 2.8 RPG, 3.9 APG · PIR 18.3
  • Edgaras Ulanovas — SF · 7.6 PPG, 4.1 RPG, 2.8 APG · PIR 10.7
  • Rolands Smits — PF · 10.5 PPG, 4.3 RPG, 1.2 APG · PIR 10.5
  • Laurynas Birutis — C · 7.5 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 0.6 APG · PIR 8.9
  • Kevarrius Hayes — C · 5.6 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 0.5 APG · PIR 7.4

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 Keenan Evans led this team is the edge. With 9 underdogs, it is also a workable board for Make the Playoffs.
