Pallacanestro Olimpia Milan agreed on terms with center Arturas Gudaitis in order to extend his contract through the 2020-2021 season included.
Gudaitis started his Italian career with 17 points and 17 rebounds in Cremona. His index rating of 31 was the most for an Olimpia player in the first game of the season since Morris Finley had a 34 of index rating in 2009. Against Avellino he grabbed 20 rebounds, the most since 2000/01 when Stefano Rusconi conquered 21 boards against Imola. In Madrid he set the club’s EuroLeague record for most two-pointers with no misses with 9. Right now, he’s second in the EuroLeague in two-point shooting, 11th for rebounds, 13th for shots blocked and he’s 15th in index rating among other things. With Olimpia, where he’s signed last September, has won the Italian Supercup. He’s a member of the Lithuanian National Team. Gudaitis will be 25 in June.
