Zalgiris Kaunas 2024 roster, stats and best five

12 draftable players from Zalgiris Kaunas's 2024 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 2024, this is the board: 12 draftable basketball players, led by Sylvain Francisco at PIR 15.6. 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 12 can play the point and 3 can play the big spots.

10 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 rim defence and thinnest in rebounding — 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.

  • Sylvain Francisco — PG · 14.6 PPG, 2.6 RPG, 4.5 APG · PIR 15.6
  • Lonnie Walker Iv — SG · 13.6 PPG, 3.2 RPG, 1.8 APG · PIR 11.3
  • Edgaras Ulanovas — SF · 6.6 PPG, 2.9 RPG, 1.8 APG · PIR 8.2
  • Alen Smailagic — PF · 8.1 PPG, 2.9 RPG, 0.4 APG · PIR 7.8
  • Bryant Dunston — PF/C · 4.1 PPG, 3.3 RPG, 0.9 APG · PIR 5.4

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 Sylvain Francisco led this team is the edge. With 10 underdogs, it is also a workable board for Make the Playoffs.
