A 6-foot-4 perimeter defender with real shot-making pop
Plintauskas enters the 2026 conversation as a long, versatile guard who can defend, disrupt passing lanes, and stretch the floor; in the 2024-25 season at Merrimack, he averaged 12.9 points and shot 35.3% from three, showing legit scoring usefulness rather than empty-hands guard minutes. His best sell is two-way value: he brings size for the position, a physical edge, and a track record of producing in meaningful minutes, which makes him a strong fit for teams needing a 3-and-D type with room to keep climbing.
