Draft Notes

Jakucionis is big point guard with elite court vision and feel for the game. He’s a masterful floor general who finds teammates from all angles and does a great job of penetrating and dishing. He knows where his teammates are at all times and does a great job of creating easy looks for them.

He’s got nice size, decent strength and enough athleticism. He’s not elite above the rim but is a good finisher in traffic.

Has a good looking jumper which shows promise but is not yet consistent enough. Had some hot and cold streaks shooting the ball this past year but I think the jumper is for real and he should shoot it well in his NBA career.

He joined the Illinois team, after a stint with FC Barcelona and has proven himself to be one of the top prospects in the 2025 NBA Draft.
