He is set to leave Kaunas after drawing a lot of interest with a terrific showcase in last year\u2019s EuroLeague campaign. The American has decided to use the buy-out clause in his contract to leave Zalgiris.<\/p>\n<p>The 26-year-old joined Zalgiris from Olympiacos Piraeus last summer, and quickly became one of the team\u2019s go-to weapons.<\/p>\n<p>LeDay averaged 11.8 ponts, 4.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists and an efficiency rating of 13.2 in 22 minutes of action on the floor in the EuroLeague.<\/p>\n<p>He played six minutes less on the national front, but still managed to average 11.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 14.6 efficiency per game.<\/p>\n<p>Zalgiris has already said their goodbyes to Edgaras Ulanovas and the coaching staff: Sarunas Jasikevicius, Darius Maskoliunas, Tomas Masiulis and Justinas Grainys.
