Deep Bench Forward With Playmaking Potential
Norbutas is an intriguing VMI freshman forward who, in the 2025-26 season, has logged limited minutes but already flashed a passer’s touch with 2.0 assists per game in ESPN’s current stat line. His profile suggests a developing, international-style wing/forward who can potentially connect offense rather than just finish it, which is a useful differentiator for a young big. The catch: the production sample is tiny, so the evaluation is more about upside, frame, and role fit than box-score dominance. If your team wants a long-term project with connective-play upside, he’s worth a closer look.
