Capable of creating physical contact to pick up fouls and can complete play at foul line. Very agile player due to superb physique and body control, looks as if he is playing effortlessly by getting to basket with swiftness and simplicity. Great, upbeat attitude to the game of basketball and towards teammates which makes him a coach’s dream, practices as hard as he plays.  Possesses outstanding jumping ability (35-inch vertical) which makes him an excellent finisher in transition game. Has great intuition which allows him to play smart away from the basketball and see open teammates when he cannot complete own shot.  Works well with back to the basket and has the ability to grab a large number of his rebounds by out jumping opponents and pure offensive hustle. Great confidence level and consistently remains bloodthirsty no matter what the score. Above average defensive player due to quick hands, leaping ability, and good lateral quickness. Mature player who takes his time when the ball is in his hands to read opponents, because of this shots are not forced.  Always striving to learn more about the game and challenges himself to learn from his mistakes.  Played for Silute (Lithuania) of NKL in 2009 where he averaged 13 points per game before term was up.
