My Take
At 211 cm, Robertas Javtokas had me at the measurement alone. Lithuania is basketball-obsessed in a way few countries are, and it keeps producing monster centers far out of proportion to its size. Drafted 55th by the Spurs in 2001 and a national team fixture from 2004, Javtokas then moved into management as sports director at Žalgiris Kaunas, a life given to the game on and off the floor. I picture him as one of those unglamorous, deeply effective big men who do the dirty work, and that is precisely the kind of player I find myself rooting for and respecting most.
