    A 19-year old sophomore for the Arizona Wildcats, currently projected as a 2nd rounder in the 2022 draft, but it wouldn't surprise me if he ended up in the 1st round.

    15.8 ppg,
    6.7 rpg,
    2.3 apg

    He has a similar play style to his countryman Domantas Sabonis, but Tubelis is considerably more athletic and is a better shot-blocker.

    I'm not sure how much weight I should put into these things, but some advanced stats models have him ranked pretty high:

    Liked this guy from watching him WORK Evan Mobley last year. Could be a sleeper in the draft.

    I love his game but I’m on the fence for how he will translate to the nba from an athletic standpoint, he’s got a great feel for the game and all the moves though. It will also be curious to see how tall he measures because 6’11 seems generous

    Tubelis just dropped 40 points on 16/21 shooting (also 9 reb, 3 ast, 3 stl, 1 blk). Best game of his college career:



    Agree, when he was still in Lithuania he was like 207-208cm, although that was 2.5 years ago when he was 17-18 yo. I guess it's kinda possible he grew a few extra centimeters. But I agree he looks more like Sengun's height rather than 6'11.

    Well, according to BPR on that chart, they've got Kofi Cockburn #1 and Paolo Banchero at #25. :D

    It seems to be mostly based on NCAA production, rather than projecting NBA potential.
