<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">One of the key players on this Lithuania national team is Wizards forward Darius Songaila. He started at power forward in all three games and averaged 9.7 ppg and 3.7 rpg while playing an important role on stopping Nowitzki, the reigning 2006-07 NBA Most Valuable Player. Darius Songalia on the win over Germany: ?We won and we had a very decent game. We had some problems shooting but a victory is the best way of getting into the second round of a tournament. They just made some great shots but we did a pretty good job. We always had a man on (Dirk Nowitzki), that was the key that we stopped him quite well.?</div> Link
Glad to see Songaila playing his game in Europe. He played terrific basketball in the playoffs and was a terrific shooter through the season, when healthy. I'm very excited to see how he does, off the bench, next season. Last year we never got to see him play at 100% because of the injury that left him on the sidelines until February.
