Hayes, 25, wanted to be seen at the club not only by the club’s managers, but also by Žalgiris’ new coach Martin Schiller.

A charismatic American born in Wisconsin, who came to Lithuania, immediately captivated the hearts of Kaunas “Žalgiris” fans and began to learn the Lithuanian language without expecting anything.

In his Euroleague debut season, the winger spent an average of nearly 22 minutes on the field during the match, earning 6.3 points and rebounding after 3.5 rebounds.

In the Lithuanian basketball league, Hayes played after 19 minutes, accumulated 7.1 points and recovered 3 balls.

After the end of the season, Žalgiris returned to the United States, played sports there, and was socially responsible along with the clothing company he founded: Hayes raised funds to combat the coronavirus.

“Žalgiris” was supplemented by Tomas Dimša, Steve Vasturia, Marekas Blaževičius, Joffrey Lauvergne and Augustine Rubitas.

In turn, K.C., who joined Žalgiris late last year and became a free agent at the end of the season, Rivers is heading to Russia, where he will play for Zenit Saint Petersburg.
