Summary:
Motiejus Krivas is a mobile, high-motor big man that played for Zalgiris Kaunas before later playing college basketball for Arizona. He played very well in limited minutes in Lithuania’s top league, the LKL during the 2022-23 season. He operates well out of the post, as he can score and make passes from the block, and he also will make hustle plays on both ends of the floor. He’ll need to extend his shooting range and work on his jump shot, but his offensive skills, size, and above average athletic gifts could may make him a second round prospect for the 2026 draft.
