As for Abrams, while being a good player, he is still a sophomore and if he stays his draft stock will only rise. Its safe to say none of those guys will come out this year. Adding them would only take away from the realisticness of it.
Flite_23 wrote:Seibutis isn't on NBADraft.net nor DraftExpress.com (the two leaders in mock drafts and prospect info) so he probably isn't coming out this year. Draft Express has him ranked 13th for his age in international prospects, so even if he did come out he would be a very late 2nd rounder or undrafted. There are more deserving guys on that list.

Also, that is an old list from before the College season started which was quite some time ago. Seibutis there is ranked 98th, and I believe there are less than 90 spots in the patch. Just think, do you believe Seibutis will be playing on an NBA roster next season?
Renaldas is one of those guys that bases his game on skills and fundamentals rather than physical and athletic gifts. If he can't make it to the NBA (which barring serious improvement seems like the most probable situation even if he's eventually drafted), he may become a very good player for European competition. Given that Lithuania has entered the European Union, it wouldn't surprise me to see him signing with a healthy Euro club in the near future.

Chances are if he doesn't get drafted he will not be signed by an NBA team and will most likely head back to Europe. I'll talk to Ryan as soon as I can but at the moment adding him just means we have to:
A) Drop another player
B) Rate another player
C) Retest the patch to make sure there are no problems
It's more of a hassle than anything but I wouldn't be surprised if he was added.
Heres is a piece of info from DraftExpress.com, which shows him making an NBA roster is quite unlikely:Renaldas is one of those guys that bases his game on skills and fundamentals rather than physical and athletic gifts.

Thing is he is still a sophomore and could play his junior year and go very high in the 08 draft.
He could still be added though.
