Las Vegas — in his short time in the NBA, Deividas Sirvydis has heard the questions already.

What’s his game like? Is he strong enough? Where is he going to play next season?

All are fair questions and they come with the territory for a relatively unknown 19-year-old shooter from Lithuania. If he had the same skill set and went to North Carolina or Kentucky, there wouldn’t be nearly as many queries, but playing overseas draws those concerns from those who haven’t seen him play.

“The first thing everybody talks about is my body and I need to be stronger and bigger,” Sirvydis said.
