efficient low-post scorer, but conditioning has been the swing factor
In the 2015-16 season, Laimonas Chatkevicius gave South Carolina a 6-foot-11 inside presence with efficient scoring touch, finishing at 53.8% from the field and averaging 10.2 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. He stood out for soft post moves, a reliable finish around the rim, and enough polish to stretch farther than a traditional bruiser, but his biggest limiter was consistency — especially conditioning and foul trouble — which kept his impact from matching his talent. If your team wants a skilled, experienced big who can score in the paint, he fits; if you need nonstop motor and heavy minutes, caveat emptor.
