Devonte Thornton going to be a prep placement???
If he is actually a threat from 3, I'll be very, very excited.
QuoteESPN AnalystUpdated 11/14/2011Strengths:Chatkevicius is a highly skilled seven-footer with a soft shooting stroke all the way out to 22 feet. He is a consistent three-point threat both when trailing the break as well as when playing pick and pop. He also does a great job of running to the rim when rolling off of ball screens and his versatility is a major asset in that action. Chatkevicius has an equally soft touch with his jump hook around the rim to compliment good hands and feet in his post game. He has a good understanding of the game for a post player and is also a good passer.Weaknesses:Chatkevicius has some athletic limitations. He doesn't leap especially quick or high around the rim and consequently isn't much of a shot-blocker nor a very dominant finisher. He also needs to improve his conditioning as he can fatigue quickly at the moment and struggle to keep up with the pace of the game at times. As a low post player, he can turn either shoulder but will typically only score with his right hand. He would also do well to become a more aggressive rebounder, especially outside of his immediate area.Bottom Line:He's reminiscent of former West Virginia big man Kevin Pittsnogle in that he's a highly skilled seven-footer who compensates for his lack of explosiveness and athleticism with his highly developed skill set and three-point shooting rangeNotesNative of Lithuania...
