Looks like I’m YouTubing the rest of the afternoon

 

[Holy Man]

Euro always a reason for hope, especially if we’ve never seen him play!

Despite the cynicism, call me grateful and surprised we added another player at a position of need. Let’s hope he can play!

 

[GopherLaundry2013]

Looks like someone who can knock down three point shots and is not afraid to drive to the basket. Welcome, Kristupas!

The Lethal Lithuanian is the real deal. Based on my extensive research (2 minute highlight video) he will step right in to a meaningful role.

His first name is way to close to Porzingod’s for me to not think they’re the same player.

That FT% will have to come down considerably if he expects any meaningful playing time.

That FT% will have to come down considerably if he expects any meaningful playing time.

I'm confident this staff can have him under 60% in no time

Good news!!

Some of you could start on a Midol regiment soon. I can recommend a doctor if you need one.

As long as Betts doesn't crush his confidence in practice....

 

[howeda7]

Someone who can make a 3 consistently is always welcome. Feels like we haven't had one since Blake Hoffarber.

 

[Sane24]

His coach in Lithuania was "Kool-Aid" Porzingas!

 

[Zeppelin Gopher]

Good size, looks bouncier than your typical European wing and has a decent looking shot.

Just glad we are using every scholarship, and taking another player at a position of need. Why not take this kid as a flier...good move!

 

[GophersInIowa]

Someone tell me if I should be excited about this.

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

I haven't checked out his youtube clips or ever heard the name, but I am demanding he gets more PT.

 

[The SF Rock]

Welcome to Minnesota! He can get minutes if he can be brought up a solid 40% 3 point shooter from 25%, rebounds and helps with rim protection. He is coming in at a position of strength for us, but injuries happen and there is never too much B1G quality depth. We had at least 4 40% 3 point shooters before him. Guard and wing play are strengths. A total reversal from last year. Never ever too many good shooter. Now get that defense rocking!

I like this pick up. Can we still fit AJ? We now are strong at all positions but the 5. Protect Payne.

Get that paperwork done and get him into practice. I see he is used to playing in front of Williams Arena size crowds. Minnesota fans suck.

He shoot’s 3s at 25%, moron. He does many other things well but NOT 3s.

JimmyJamz?

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Curious who the lead was on recruiting him? Welcome. Glad they used that spot.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Yes. He’s not from Africa or ,

You can always hop aboard the complain later.

Shooters are most time made and not born.

Come on’

 

[60's Guy]

Surprising and hopeful addition. His shot is slow but looks good. If he shoots 25% from 3 it's probably because he rushes his misses. He's 6-8 and a wing and he is going to be a Gopher.
Surprising and hopeful....we added somebody.
Can't help but be more optimistic with his addition.....if he can play meaningful minutes this could be a difference maker.
Thank you Ben!

They don't have a scholarship for AJ Plitzuweit unless someone else gives up his.

The wing is a position of strength as is. He should be expected to make us stronger.

Oh dear. Does that mean he will ask out in a couple weeks and bolt for Louisville?

 

[topos]

This generation's Oto Osenieks?

I kid. Glad Ben used the scholarship. We are due for some Euro luck!
