If Saraunas was in the NBA draft, where would he be picked?

[Dario]

Its natural he's happy for his team, like you are with NVA and expecially with finley, with who i believe spurs could build true dinasty if the thing works right. As for sarunas, i'll say it again, many people here never seen any bb games outside of NBA and just dont know much. To say he is unproven player is bull , he proved himself so many times with countless of games like that against USA. To say he cant make it to starting PG in NBA is total lack of bb inteligence.
Oh and omg @ comentators at that game, its hilarious

You all have to understand, Jasikevicius is considered the greatest point guard in European history. think about the greatness that's come out of Europe, and to think that this guy is the best. That's sick talent. He was 2nd in the league in assists and 17th in scoring. That translates to about 21 ppg, 9.5 apg in the NBA. He's basically a slightly bigger and better shooting and passing Steve Nash. 29 or not, that won't slip past the mid-teens.
In Europe, Saras is to Magic Johnson what Manu is to Clyde Drexler. Basically, Saras skills > Manus skills.

No. In terms of basketball skills, Sarunas Jasikevicius is currently more skilled than any player in the past draft. Sure, Chris Paul, Deron Williams etc. could end up better, but it's far from a given. Is Sarunas Jasikevicius was as good as he is now coming out of NCAA, he wouldv'e been a top-5 pick. He's a BASKETBALL GOD in Europe. The most beloved player perhaps in European histrory, even more so than Petro or Sabonis. It's almost as if he's a cult hero.

So I guess you're saying someone will finally put that POS Tinsley on the bench and give the Pacers a half-decent PG.

There is/was only one Basketball god in Europe. And his name was Drazen Petrovic. Jasikevicious isnt even close. Not even Sabonis i think.

If Saraunas Jasikevicius went to the Spurs, I can all but gurantee you he would be starting over Tiony Parker before Christmas.

I agree. But Manu better basketball player Sarunas.

Petrovic is only beloved in Europe because he died so young. Just like anyone else who ever died young (James Dean, Kurt Cobain etc.) he's massively overrated. He was a poor man's Peja Stojakovic, except that Peja can actually lead his team to the playoffs.

Check out that highlight from the Olympics. Saras single handedly defeats Team USA< including Tim Duncan. Lithuania is down 4 with a little over 3 minutes to go. Saras busts out an amazing 4 point play to tie it up, then comes down, drains a 3, comes down again, drains another 3, then sinks 2 free throws in the final seconds to ice it. Thats right, he scored the final 12 points, all in around 3 minutes, in Lithuania's huge win over team USA.
He's Reggie Miller and John Stockton rolled into one.

Two points after watching that video, number one Stephon Marbury was defending him and running the offense for Team USA, number two he looked like a poor man's Chauncey Billups no where near Reggie Miller and John Stockton rolled into one. I agree he might be able to start for several teams in the NBA but he still won't be a top 10 guard in the league. For those of you that did watch that didn't Odom look terrible on defense.
