“We are happy to be complemented by a young, promising and promising Lithuanian,” says Rytas head coach Giedrius Žibėnas. – Rapolas is an extremely versatile tall mobile that will add to the missing centimeters, especially considering the currently reduced ranks of our attackers. We hope that Rapolas does not have an adaptation period to get used to the European style of play and that he can reveal all his good qualities already this season.

2018-2019 R. Ivanauskas was one of Collegite University’s top team leaders and this season he was named Player of the Year for his conference. The Lithuanian NCAA recorded 15.9 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists.

The 208cm tall heavyweight forward spent the Atlantic last season with the Cincinnati Bearcats. In this season’s NCAA championship, the tallest scored an average of 6.3 points in 7 games played and bounced 5 balls in 21 minutes.

However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, R. Ivanauskas decided to stop the season and leave the team.
