CLEVELAND, June 28 –
The Cleveland Cavaliers have acquired the rights to
forward/center Martynas Andriuskevicius (mar-TEE-nas on-droos-KE-vee-choos)
from the Orlando Magic in exchange for a second-round pick
in the 2006 NBA Draft and cash,
Cavaliers General Manager Danny Ferry announced today.
Andriuskevicius, 19, was the 44th overall pick in the 2005 NBA Draft
by the Orlando Magic. The 7-2, 240 pounder,
played for Zalgiris in the Lithuanian League last season,
averaging 4.4 points and 2.5 rebounds in 9.6 minutes per game.
In 15 Euroleague games in 2004-05,
he averaged 1.4 points and 1.1 rebounds in 8.4 minutes per game.
During his first season in the Lithuanian League,
he played in 27 games averaging 17.0 points, 10.1 rebounds and 2.9 blocks.
He was an early entry candidate for the 2004 NBA Draft
but withdrew his name prior to the Draft.
“Martynas is a young, skilled big man who comes from the Sabonis School
in Lithuania,” Ferry said. “He loves to play basketball
and has a very good feel for the game.
The combination of his size and skill are very rare.
We are excited to have him in our program.”
The second-round pick that was traded to Orlando was the Cavaliers
own second-round pick.
Earlier in the day, Cleveland acquired a second-round pick
in the 2006 NBA Draft and cash from the Milwaukee Bucks
in exchange for guard/forward Jiri Welsch.
