Zalgiris strengthens frontcourt with Regimantas Miniotas addition 11

The injury-ridden Zalgiris will strengthen its frontcourt with a familiar face, as the Lithuanian champions have announced an agreement with 208 cm tall Regimantas Miniotas. The 25-year-old joins Zalgiris on a 1-year deal.

The big man who can play two positions spent this season in the top tier Spanish division, representing Surne Bilbao. He left the Basque side and will shortly join Zalgiris.

“We know Regimantas well, as he took his first professional steps in our system. He’s a versatile player that can help our team in two positions. Especially now, when unexpected injuries have made even our practice process difficult. Having found out that he’s left his former team, we made him an offer, as we had no possibilities to pay a buy-out. We think he hasn’t reached his peak yet, and now has an opportunity to prove himself at the next level,” – noted Zalgiris director Paulius Motiejunas.

Miniotas left for Spain mid-last season after a terrific showcase for Prienai, where he averaged 18.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists in the Betsafe-LKL.

After moving to Bilbao, he averaged 7.1 points, 4.3 rebounds in the Spanish league and 7.8 points and 6.3 rebounds in the FIBA Champions League.

    Smagu kad Zalgirio aukletiniai grizta i komanda. Sekmes Regimantui!

  2. man

    irgi smagu uz ji kad grizta, bet kad sustiprinimas tai tikrai nesutinku, bus lukosiunui draugelis ant suoliuko.

  3. kostas,

    nezinau, gal reikejo Birute kazkaip parsivaryt i namus

    Sėkmės

    Kad stiprina, tai labai abejoju. Bet reikėjo dar vieno kūno, nes iškritus Nebo liekam tik su Blaževičium. Keliom minutėm duoti poilsio sueis. Ir pliusas, kad lietuvis. O pirkt belekokį legionierių tikrai neapsimoka.

    Turiu visus šansus tobulėti. Svarbiausia jam pradėt pataikyt iš trijų taškų zonos ir geresnis žaidimas nugara. Galės iš Ules mokytis kaip reikia nugara žaist. Sėkmės ir sveikatos

    senai lauktas, siaip reikejo dar praeito sezono pradzioje ji imti kai tapo aiskus jo potencialas, tik keista kad sutartis vos iki sezono galo

  8. Dainius

    Dar Normanta reikia paimt per pirkt iš ryto. Nes gynybos specas tikrai geras. O puolime galėtų tobulėti

  9. Linas

    Laikas parodys, ar jis gali buti bent atsarginis Eurolygoje, bet viskas priklauso nuo jo paties – zaidimo laiko ir sansu tikrai sulauks…Blogiau nei yra tikrai nebus, nes dar vienas aukstaugis buvo butinas.
