Pretty active for a big dude. Also, only 24.

I'm surprised they arent many Lithuanian players in the NBA, those guys worship basketball over there.

I would take a flyer on him as a 3rd string center...could end up being a Mosgov for us or at the least a good practice player

I wonder, why wasn't he drafted? You'd think big men who can move their feet and are tall like he is would get scooped up by someone quickly.

Hm. He seems like he has good instincts around the basket, but I feel like in an NBA game, he'll be man handled (since he looks somewhat skinny) and would have more fouls in a season then points. Curious, though.

he has added 21 pounds of muscle while shedding one and a half percent body fat – now at 6.3% - in just under 2 months since he has been here..

I would think he would get a camp invite at the least...

Source: Lithuanian big #Knicks worked out this week was Ovidijus Galdikas. Initial thoughts were Robertas Javtokas or Mindaugas Kuzminskas.
