BBL strugglers Glasgow Rocks have signed Lithuanian guard Tadas Rinkunas to strengthen their squad.
The 27-year-old, who split last season between the Spanish and French leagues, is set to arrive next week.
“He brings some excellent experience to the roster, having spent most of his career playing professionally in Lithuania,†Rocks coach Darryl Wood said.
“He will add great value to what we have already on our roster.â€
Meanwhile Bouna Ndiaye claims Glasgow must show a ruthless streak to move away from the foot of the standings.
And the Norwegian guard, one of the few bright sparks for the Rocks so far, has vowed to make a success of his BBL stint by leading their charge.
“I’m taking advantage of playing with veterans who have experience of different leagues,†he said. “I’ve had issues with being aggressive for an entire game so I want to work on that here and develop my killer instinct.
“Plus this league is way better than playing in Norway and I want to make sure I don’t go back there until I’m older.â€
We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
