Dalia Donskichyté (G 5’5″, 2000) from Lietuva. After U16 FIBA Europe Udine 2016
Dalia is a bit undersize CG even at this stage, but possesses a great athleticism (wide shoulders and upper-body), quickness and explosiveness. She displays a great scoring instinct and a quick release in almost all her actions. Donskichyté also has an interesting 1st crossover step (brave and fast driving to the rim) and is able to score through the contact, but seems a bit unconfident playing as a PG. Despite of her regular hands-on-the-ball, Dalia possesses correct FT’s skills. The Lithuanian is an unselfish player (despite of her scoring ability), and displays a promising passing skill set and interesting basketball IQ. Her leaping ability is not remarkable (struggling in pull-up shots against bigger defenders). In D end, Dalia shows a great activity (hands and footwork) guarding both the player with the ball and without it. Quick slide and quick hands allow her to steal the ball in a good number of plays. From the weak side, Dalia is also a real threat, because her quickness and agresiveness.
Interesting CG with scoring ability who could play hard in both sides of the court from day one.
