The central forward, Martynas Pacevičius, brings significant experience to his new club. Pacevičius spent the last three years representing the Neptūnas team in Klaipėda. His recent achievements include securing a bronze medal in the national championships with the Klaipėda-based squad and reaching the finals of the Citadele King Mindaugas Cup last year.
Ginas Rutkauskas, the director of Šiauliai sports, emphasized the importance of securing an experienced player for the squad. “The central forward is one of the most important figures on the court, so we devoted a lot of attention to finding this experienced option,” Rutkauskas stated. He noted that the search within the Lithuanian market proved successful in acquiring this veteran player.
Rutkauskas further detailed his assessment of the player’s attributes. “Martynas is an exceptionally athletic and defensive-minded player. Although he suffered from a trauma last season, we believe that he will fully recover,” he added.
The management expressed confidence that Pacevičius’s depth of knowledge in European Cup play, combined with his established authority among both players and coaches, will be a key asset to the basketball program. The acquisition aims to bolster the roster depth and competitive edge of the Šiauliai team as they prepare for upcoming seasons. The focus remains on integrating his proven talent into the team’s overall strategy.
