Rokas Giedraitis is nearing an agreement with La Laguna Tenerife after six seasons in the EuroLeague, according to BasketNews. The 32-year-old Lithuanian forward, who mutually parted ways with Crvena Zvezda Belgrade despite a contract until 2026, is poised to join the Spanish ACB powerhouse, marking a new chapter outside Europe’s top tier.
Standout Performances and Season Stats
Last season with Crvena Zvezda, Giedraitis averaged 4.8 points, 2 rebounds, 0.8 assists, and 0.7 steals in under 16 minutes per game, with a late-season surge in March to 7.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1 steal in 20 minutes, shooting 42% on twos and 47% from three. His career-high 20-point, 4-rebound, 3-assist, 3-steal game against Olympiacos Piraeus, earning a 28 PIR, underscored his potential.
Tactical Fit for Tenerife’s Ambitious Setup
Tenerife, a consistent ACB playoff qualifier since 2019-20 and a two-time Basketball Champions League champion, sees Giedraitis as a valuable addition. His experience across 10.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 11.1 PIR over his EuroLeague tenure with ALBA Berlin, Baskonia, and Crvena Zvezda, combined with his late-season form, aligns with their goal to dominate the BCL and ACB.
