Andrej Ostapko is a 16-year-old Lithuanian prospect from Visaginas, developing at Visagino krepšinio mokykla under coach Nikolaj Aleksejenko and sport director and assistant coach Aleksandr Bražnikovas. Born July 22, 2010, Andrej currently stands around 197 cm (6’5½”).
A physically gifted young player, Andrej combines size, athleticism, jumping ability, and rebounding instincts. At 15 years old, he recorded an impressive 27-point, 20-rebound performance in Lithuanian youth competition.
His biggest development priority is clear: become a consistent three-point shooter. During the 2025–26 BBBL season, he averaged 10.4 points and 7.1 rebounds while shooting 37.5% from three, although on limited volume.
If Andrej continues to develop physically and approaches 207 cm (6’9”) by the end of high school while turning his three-point shot into a reliable weapon, his profile could become highly attractive to U.S. college programs.
Key Development Areas
- Three-point shooting — primary focus
- Rebounding and physicality
- Defensive versatility
- Footwork and mobility
- Decision-making and offensive consistency
Projection
The combination of size + athleticism + rebounding + shooting potential gives Andrej an intriguing long-term profile as a modern stretch big.
Key word: SHOOTER.
His next step is to prove that his three-point shot can become a consistent weapon against stronger and more athletic competition.
