I guess it's time to share exciting news - I've been a part of @BasketNews_com social media team for 4 months now.

It has been 2 years since I started posting my basketball non-sense on this account, but it's quite mind-blowing where I am right now.

Thank you, for everything!❤️

Zalgiris talent Mantas Juzenas will join the Saint Mary's Gaels next summer, per sources.
The 6'6 G/F is one of the most promising talent in Lithuania.

[Jon Chepkevich @JonChep]

2005-born Lithuanian prospect, Vytautas Žygas, has signed w/ Old Dominion in the class of 2024, I’m told.

The tough, bouncy 6’6” lefty developed in Žalgiris Kaunas’ youth system and started for Lithuania’s FIBA U16, U17, U18, and U20 teams the past four summers.

Illinois freshman 🇱🇹 Kasparas Jakučionis tried his best to pull off the win for a ticket in next year's U19.

He showcased almost everything he has in his bag - playmaking, shifting gears with the ball, body control in traffic...

Spectacular showing by 🇱🇹 Nojus Indrusaitis today versus Sweden.

Lithuanian put his team on the back and led them into an important W to secure their chances at making U19 WC next year. Deciding game - coming up tomorrow.

Nojus Indrusaitis is ICE-COLD for hitting this three-pointer over Declan Duru 🥶
