Sireika revealed that she had attracted Augustus Marčiulionis to Šiauliai / News

A few years ago, Antanas Sireika, the head of Šiauliai, tried to lure Augustas Marčiulionis, a talent who had developed in Vilnius’ “Tomorrow” system, to the city of the Sun.

After the failed duel with the capital team, the 64-year-old chatted with the young Marčiulionis, and at the press conference he spoke about the invitation he sent him to come to the Šiauliai team.

“I said you would have played in Šiauliai, you would have found yourself in the NBA quickly. Now I don’t know how it will be – Sireika revealed the conversation with August with a smile on her face. – Augustus said:” I know, Dad said you invited him. Two years ago I told you to come, then when we elected a team of players from the National Basketball League.

I told him to come, that we would create the conditions for prosperity. That’s what we talked to Šarūnas, now that’s what I told Augustus. “

After two seasons, Marčiulionis, who opened the door in the NKL “Rytas” championship, will compete in LKL this season after 13 minutes, scoring 4.9 points and providing 2.3 assists.

In the duel with Šiauliai, he scored 4 points, 3 assists, 3 rebounds and 5 personal fouls.
