Fans of the Lithuanian champs will see most of the same roster that made the playoffs last season with Brady Manek, Naz Mitrou-Long and Danielus Lavrinovicius serving as the only off-season signings. There was naturally a lot of curiosity around the trio, who all looked strong in the team's first game this season in the Lithuanian League. There was also plenty of excitement surrounding Keenan Evans, who was in the midst of a breakout season when he ruptured his Achilles tendon last season.
The players went through all the typical Media Day rounds from sit-down interviews, to posing for photo shoots, engaging in social media activities and taking part in sponsors' campaigns. And most of them did it with a smile!
At the end of the long day of work, the Zalgiris players were pleased with the end result and ready to turn their collective focus to next week. Zalgiris begins its EuroLeague campaign on the road next Thursday at Virtus Segafredo Bologna.
