Kacerauskas is an intriguing two-way forward whose versatility allows him to impact winning on both ends of the floor. Offensively, he found different ways to score, showing the ability to finish around the basket while taking advantage of scoring opportunities within the flow of the offense. Kacerauskas also showed that he could space the floor. Defensively, his versatility stood out as he comfortably guarded multiple positions and made life difficult for opposing players with his activity and effort. His motor was one of his biggest strengths, consistently allowing him to stay involved by rebounding, defending, and making hustle plays throughout the game.

Kacerauskas is another prospect who prides himself on the boards. Anywhere he goes or whoever he’s playing for, the constant is the 6-foot-7 southpaw forward’s activity will be felt. Similar to Potomac, I expect Episcopal to be one of the top teams in the state of VA and much of that has to do with their senior forward’s motor. He averaged 14.3PPG, 8.8RPG and 3.0APG leading his team to a 3-1 showing and in the win over Mt. Zion, Kacerauskas was near a triple-double with 10PTS, 9REBS and 8ASTS.

Kacerauskas isn’t the type of forward who will catch your eye in warmup line skying over the rim or stick out with an imposing frame, but what he has that makes him extremely valuable are elite instincts as a rebounder. He doesn’t overwhelm with strength in leveraging, but has excellent timing on when to pursue the ball that put him in the right spot 9.9/10 times.

This is especially the case on the offensive end. He’s great at crashing from the weakside and getting the exact angle needed to avoid contact while using his length to secure misses. He’s quick off his feet, which helps after gathering the miss to quickly explode up for clean up buckets.

Overall, Kacerauskas is a valuable connector piece who will make all the small plays that result in big swings and ultimately wins as the EYBL season progresses.

You could catch Simas finishing a layup over the top of the defense at almost any point in this game. Simas used his height in ways that any coach would love to see. If he didn’t make his way to the rim off the dribble shielding off the defense, he was underneath the rim finishing the putback layup. It was an impossible task this game for the opponent in slowing Simas down. He was able to get anything he wanted and showed that even without the size mismatch, he was determined to dominate on the offensive end.
