The star that lit up in Vilnius: is R. Sulaimonas ready to open the doors of the Euroleague?

Rasheed Sulaimon’s 27 points scored last Sunday strongly contributed to Vilnius Wolves’ second win of the season against Kaunas Žalgiris.

This is the third time in a row that the 30-year-old, 193 cm tall basketball player has scored at least 24 points in the Betsafe-LKL premiership. Klaipėda “Neptūnas” suffered extremely painfully from R. Sulaimon’s three-pointers a week ago.

In general, this “Betsafe-LKL” season, R.Sulaimonas collects 17.1 points in just over 24 minutes (55.7% doubles, 42.2% triples, 77.9% free throws), rebounds 3.1 and 0.9 steals, 3 assists, 1.9 turnovers and 17.4 efficiency.

In terms of performance in the national championship, the “Wolves” basketball player is in second place, leaving only Đžuolas Tubelis ahead (average 17.5 points), because Brandon Tabb (average 19.3 points) and Nicholas Ward (average 20.2 points) .) already competes in other leagues.

In the European Cup that ended a month ago, R.Sulaimonas recorded 18.2 points scored (41.7% doubles, 38.5% triples, 78.8% penalties), 2.2 rebounds and 0 steals. 8 balls, 4.1 assists, 2.1 turnovers and 14 efficiency points in almost 29 minutes on the floor.

In the second most powerful European club tournament, the star of the Vilnius team was inferior only to the leader of Panevėžys “7bet-Lietkabelis” Deividus Sirvydzis (average 18.9 points) in terms of performance.

As R. Sulaimon is demonstrating dominant basketball on both fronts this season, the question arises, is the basketball player who entered the top ten at the beginning of March ready to jump to the Euroleague?
