Zalgiris Kaunas introduces another addition to the team. Danielius Lavrinovicius becomes the second newcomer of Lithuanian champions, as the 1+1 contract was signed.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old forward spent the last two years wearing the jersey of Nevezis-Optibet Kedainiai. He started his professional career in Germany with the Artland Dragons in Quakenbr\u00fcck.<\/p>\n
\u201cJoining Zalgiris is a dream come true. There is no doubt who is number one in Lithuania and all players want to play here. This is a big step forward in my career, so I\u2019m eager to get to work and introduce myself to the fans,\u201d the rookie told Zalgiris.lt.<\/p>\n
The 206 cm tall player had one of the best seasons of his career in the Lithuanian championship so far.<\/p>\n
In almost 23 minutes on the floor, Lavrinovicius averaged 10.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 10.4 points last season.<\/p>\n
The versatile player, who represented Lithuanian youth national teams at various ages, also excelled in long-distance shooting last season \u2013 he made 35.5% of his three-pointers in Betsafe-LKL and 55% in the King Mindaugas Cup, which also allowed him to appear in the KMT sniper competition.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis summer I will continue to focus on improving my individual skills, as I am well aware of the new challenges that await me here, as well as the huge responsibility I have towards the whole Zalgiris community,\u201d said Lavrinovicius.<\/p>\n
It is planned that the multi-position player will take the place of Motiejus Krivas, who will continue his career in the NCAA league.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
