Matas Buzelis: The Next Great Lithuanian NBA Prospect? | 2024 NBA Draft Scouting Report

Matas Buzelis is not the type of player that came out of nowhere. As someone who has been receiving a good deal of hype since his high school mixtape days, Buzelis is now considered one of the best prospects in the 2024 draft. Fitting the exact mold of what NBA teams look for in a stretch 5 type player, Buzelis comes from both a family and a country that has a reputation for producing exceptional basketball players. Both of Buzelis’ parents were professional basketball players in Lithuania who immigrated to the US, and Matas intends to follow in their footsteps and potentially go even further, looking to be the next in a long line of great Lithuanian players among the likes of Arvydas and Domantas Sabonis, Jonas Valanciunas, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, and Šarūnas Jasikevičius, but does he have the potential to do that? Or will the shortcomings in his game overcome his potential and leave him as a role player at most? Today, we’re going to break down his game, the pros, the cons, and if he has what it takes to succeed in the NBA.

Welcome to the channel! Over my life, I have developed a passion for diving deep into the stats, history, and play styles of various basketball players and teams, and in my opinion no better way to get those ideas out there than through rankings, compaarisons and tier lists.

I tend to discuss detailed breakdowns of individual players' strengths and weaknesses, their historical achievements, and their current performance on the court, to determine where they rank in the list in question.

The tier lists are carefully crafted to reflect the latest trends and developments in the league, and I always stay up to date with the latest news and analysis.
