As per the last few centers Thunderous Intentions profiled Anzejs Pasecniks isn’t a prospect Sam Presti will be focused on when it comes time to select at 21. Although he possesses quality skills the time needed to await his development isn’t an option Presti can afford.

If you wondering where you’ve heard his name before it came playing alongside fellow countryman Kristaps Porzingis as the two formed their own Latvian ‘twin towers’ for the National team. Anzejs Pasecniks fell behind Porzingis in development, but he still has the potential to become another Latvian unicorn, specifically if he can overcome his defensive shortcomings.
