How does Erik Spoelstra compare to your previous coaches? Kasparas Jakucionis: Yeah, he’s so nice, an amazing coach, to be honest. He has a lot of knowledge of the game and is a very good leader. He reminds me of some of my coaches in Barcelona, like Sarunas Jasikevicius, and even last year with Brad Underwood at Illinois. I think they all have this kind of drive to win and always try to reach their maximum potential. They try to get everyone on the same page and include everybody to win. They don't just say it, they lead by example. I'm really grateful to have this opportunity to be on this team and learn from the best.
