Once a total unknown in Lithuania, Arvydas Eitutavicius has fully blossomed only in the last two seasons and has finally been given a look by the national team coaches.

After a successful year with his hometown club Neptunas Klaipeda a year ago, the combo-guard moved to French Pro A side Cholet Basket and went all the way to the gold medals in the domestic championship during his first season in France.

Eitutavicius has a deadly touch from downtown and can handle the ball comfortably unlike the majority of Lithuania’s FIBA World Championship squad.

The guard, who played in the lower Spanish divisions two seasons back, will now most likely be the back-up point guard to Mantas Kalnietis in the game plan of coach Kestutis Kemzura.
