a versatile, high-effort forward who did the dirty work at South Carolina
In the 2015-16 season, Mindaugas Kacinas was a steady two-way forward for South Carolina, averaging 9.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 0.9 assists, and 0.5 steals while shooting 51.0% from the field. He stood out as a tough, efficient, high-motor frontcourt piece who could finish, rebound, and defend without needing the ball to dominate. That blend of reliability and physicality made him the kind of glue guy coaches love: not flashy, but absolutely useful if you want a smart, competitive, low-drama contributor.
