Milaknis returns, Motum stays at Zalgiris 10
Zalgiris Kaunas padded its roster for the new Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season by bringing back shooter Arturas Milaknis.
Milaknis (1.95 meters, 30 years old) arrives from Unics Kazan, where he averaged 6.9 points in 16 EuroCup games last season, on a new three-year deal with Zalgiris.
He has played his entire EuroLeague career – 81 games over six seasons – with Zalgiris, with his 10 points per game in 2015-16 being the highlight. His 60 three-pointers made that season were the third-best among all EuroLeague players.
Big man Brock Motum will also be in Zalgiris roster next season.
Australian Motum (2.08 meters, 25 years old) debuted in the EuroLeague with Zalgiris last season, averaging 6.7 points and 2.8 rebounds in 24 games. He had previously played professionally for Virtus Bologna of Italy and Adelaide of his native Australia, as well as four seasons with Washington State University of the NCAA.
Motum is currently playing for Australia at the 2016 Olympics.
