One Lithuanian player is leaving (Eimantas Bendzius to Udine) and another is arriving: Laurynas Beliauskas, a 192cm Lithuanian point guard born in 1997, who comes from Juventus Utena. With the sixth foreign player, the squad, still under the guidance of coach Massimo Bulleri, is complete, featuring 10 new players.
In the Lithuanian league, Beliauskas averaged 13 points, 3 assists, and nearly as many rebounds this season. He also had experience in Spain with Obraidoro, in Germany with Frankfurt, in Greece with PAOK Thessaloniki, and in Poland with Wielkopolski, where he averaged over 17 points.
Sporting Director Sartori describes him as follows: "He has excellent game vision, is capable of interpreting pick-and-rolls, has a great off-the-ball shot, and loves attacking in the open court. He's a player capable of maintaining composure even in the heat of the moment: we envision him as an important player in building our team's identity. With his technical expertise and experience, he'll be an added value to the team."
