I’m not sure he’s really a prospect. He is a solid passer and has good touch but not a huge interior presence on either end.

Motiejus Krivas is a great rim protector and rebound merchant for Arizona. He scores efficient inside with post moves and blocks shots like crazy but doesnt shoot threes or create much outside the paint. Could be a mid second round pick in the 2026 NBA Draft as a solid backup big with defensive upside

Big fan, a physical monster that controls the paint. Arguably the best rim protector in the country that moves well for his size and has good touch inside. Knows his role and does it well. Great shot selection and a good free throw shooter.

The Junior big man from Arizona has really done a lot this year to improve his draft stock. He is a rock solid mountain of a center at 7'2 and 260lbs. He rebounds it well and he is a big time rim protector, showcasing that with some big block numbers of late. He doesn't score in high volumes (partially because Arizona has about 7 guys who can go for 20 on any given night) but he has displayed some advanced footwork and post moves to pair with really soft touch with either hand. His entire game reminds you of a traditional European big man, with high IQ and great skill. His biggest weakness is absolutely going to be lateral mobility and NBA scouts will likely worry how he will fare in space against NBA speed. I like Krivas as a second round big and wouldn't be surprised if he earns an NBA roster spot within his first or second year in the league.

Pros

  • Great size.

  • Impressive passer.

  • Productive offensive rebounder.

  • Improved shot blocker.

  • Strong finisher around the rim.

  • Great free throw shooter (77.8+% in both healthy seasons)

  • Beginning to show signs of having three-point range. FT efficiency is a promising sign in that regard.

Cons

  • For a 7'2" and 260-pound big, it's surprising how easily he can be moved off of his spot at times.

  • Even smaller players seem to rattle him with physicality.

  • Impressive vertical athleticism, but a bit rigid laterally. Not sure he moves like an NBA player.
