His love for basketball stems from his family's basketball DNA, especially his great-grandfather, maternal great-grandfather and grandmother, who were pioneers and legends in Lithuanian basketball.
Bouzelis is a versatile attacker with a good ability to control the ball, and he can be useful in any system of play, as he is equally aware of passing.
At present, the style of play on the court is more playful and forward, averaging 14.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 2.1 rebounds per game this season, shooting 44.5% from the field.
Relatively speaking, Bouzlis is indeed a little thinner in terms of size, his ability to fight may not be too strong, his stability outside the three-point line is also a little worrying, and his turnover count is also significantly higher.
