Anzejs Pasecniks
ESPN’s Fran Fraschilla:
“Four years ago, the Latvian junior team had two seven-footers playing for them in the European under-18 championships. One guy was named Kristaps Porzingis, and he spent his early development in Spain. His buddy Anzejs Pasecniks, he spent his time in Latvia.
He didn’t start to improve until the last two seasons, when he went to Spain to play in the ACB League [Spain’s top pro league].
