Who are some players you watch film on and try to emulate? Izan Almansa: Right now, I watch a lot of Domantas Sabonis to take a lot of things from his game. I like to watch Al Horford too. Yeah, those are like the two guys who can play outside and inside the paint well, and they can initiate the offense. They can do a little bit of everything and that’s what I look up to.
After missing last year’s 2023 FIBA World Cup, Domantas Sabonis is ready to come back representing the Lithuanian national team this summer on the road to the Olympic Games in Paris 2024. As announced by head coach Kazys Maksvytis in today’s press conference, fully reported by 15min.lt, both he and Jonas Valanciunas will be available. “They had a tough season, a marathon of tough games. I talked with both of them, and they even asked for preparation plans. We have received a firm yes from them”, the former Zalgiris Kaunas’ coach said, confirming their participation.
A global panel of 100 sportswriters and broadcasters picked Reid over Monk and Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis. Reid finished with 352 points and 45 first-place votes. Monk had 342 points and 43 first-place votes. Reid and Monk both received 39 second-place votes and 10 third-place votes. The 10-point difference between the first- and second-place finishers is the smallest margin in Sixth Man of the Year balloting under the current voting format, which began with the 2002-03 season.
