“It just came to our notice then. Airports are really quiet about the COVID-19 pandemic. Everything is fine, people are helpful. Europe leaves a good impression on me, so I also hope to look around Lithuania,” said the 25 year old newcomer from Rytas.
2016 With the 45th squad, the basketball player was chosen by the Boston Celtics, and for the next two seasons he represented the Houston Rockets and the Philadelphia 76ers.

For a 185cm tall and 90kg basketball player, this will be the first season in Europe. In preparation for the challenge in Lithuania, he was helped a lot by Kaunas midfielder “Žalgiris”, Martin Geben, with whom he competed together at the Fighting Irish University of Notre Dame.
“I’m not sure about the rules, but I am physically and psychologically ready right now. I prepared my body and my mind,” Jackson said. – At the University of Notre Dame, I had a teammate named Martin Geben. He plays for another team in Lithuania and they told me a lot about this country. I look forward to exploring the city and enjoying the experience. “
Three legionnaires will compete in the Vilnius team next season. In addition to Jackson, the agreement with the East was signed by two other Americans: defender Andrew Goudelock, who has already made a name for himself in Europe, and Chris McCullough, who is preparing to make his debut on the Old Continent.
D. Jackson has competed with this latest basketball player in the past and at the same time they promise to show the Vilnius audience some eye-catching basketball.
“I spoke to Andrew and I spoke to Chris. These are two good players, Jackson said. – I have played with Chris before, so I am very happy to have the opportunity to compete together in Vilnius again and achieve victories together. I spoke to him two days ago, we are ready. Ready to create beautiful episodes, posts and references to teammates. “
The arrival of A. Goudelock and Ch. McCullough in Vilnius is scheduled for the weekend.
Rytas began preparations for the season on August 10, and the first official game will be on September 19 against the basketball players of Utena Juventus.
