Chris McCullough, an American of impressive physical ability, possibly caused a car accident in the capital on Friday night and left the scene. The investigation was also carried out by the police and the Vilnius club, which suspended the 20-year-old athlete from training.
However, signs about the imminent end of the friendship between this basketball player and Rytas 15 minutes reached even before Friday’s game at Alytus. Although a unanimous opinion has yet to be reached at the clubhouse, it is all heading towards parting with a basketball player who was once considered promising.
There are no complaints about the basketball player’s work in training, but doubts arise about Ch. McCullough’s suitability for European basketball and the vision of coach Donald Kairis. Rytas is the first stop in the career of an experienced NBA forward in Europe.
In Friday’s game at Alytus, the American played less than 8 minutes, during which he scored 4 points and bounced 2 balls. This is Ch.McCullough’s fewest minutes in four LKL championship games.

15 minutes To his knowledge, the ambitious Rytas is intensively researching the market and looking for a new fourth issue, which would help challenge Kaunas “Žalgiris” in the LKL final.
No problem should arise in terminating a contract with McCullough if the club’s rules of discipline have not been violated. The agreement provides for the possibility of ending the cooperation after the first two months.
Ch.McCullough, the last Legionnaire to join the club, played four LKL matches, stayed on the floor for just over 13 minutes, scored 6.5 points, bounced 4 balls and scored 4.3 utility points.

Annotated 15 minutes According to sources, player Dovis Bičkauskis is still sitting in the “Ryte” hot seat, having changed agency representing him two weeks ago – he has moved from the Octagon family to the “Eastern Players”.
The club explores the waters and looks for a new team for the defender. In Lithuania, wanting to get more than 8 thousand. There is no monthly salary that reaches 1 billion euros, so there is a foreigner for whom Mr. Bičkauskis has not yet played.
If “Rytas” managed to get rid of D. Bičkusis’ contract and say goodbye to Ch. McCullough, the Vilnius club would invest all the money in strengthening the heavy forward’s position.
This season, D. Bičkauskis, 27 years old and 191 cm tall, played all four LKL matches, in 13 minutes he accumulated 5.4 points on the parquet, recovered 1.8 balls, made 3.4 assists and registered 10 assists. points.

The situation remains unclear with Saulius Kulvietis, who returned to Vilnius from Dijon this summer, with whom Rytas initiated the termination of the contract due to “hidden trauma” three weeks ago.
“We should probably check with the club, but we probably don’t have Saulius in the team anymore. There are certain injuries that don’t allow him to start the season,” coach Donald Kairys told reporters just over two weeks ago.
The dispute leads to an inappropriate medical examination of a 204cm tall 29-year-old forward. It is common practice for a club to confirm or deny the results of a medical examination within 48 hours of its completion.
15 minutes Sources indicate that “Rytas” did not perform a proper examination, and the injury concealment card is inactive, because S. Kulvietis began the preparation of the season with the team that suffered an injury during training.
There is no legal basis for terminating the contract, so both parties will have to sit around the table and find a compromise if they want to terminate the cooperation.
The ball in this dispute is currently on the side of the basketball player, not the club. It is a possible scenario that S. Kulvietis, who has lost his wounds, returns to the composition of Rytas. However, it is obvious that the destiny of a basketball player also correlates with the arrival of a future rookie and its price.

The team is looking hard for the 194cm tall 22-year-old defender Karolis Giedraitis, who got into the rotation margins of coach D.Kairis.
15 minutes According to sources, at least some LKL clubs are interested in the services of the son of the legendary basketball player “Rytas” Andrius Giedraitis, but these teams are dissuaded by the 4,000 requested. per monthly amount. Last year, K. Giedraitis’s salary amounted to 2-2.5 thousand.
Probably, the team from the capital will have to cover part of the amount and it is expected that in the near future an agreement will be reached with the new race station of K. Giedraitis.
Last summer K. Giedraitis was particularly interested in Panevėžys Lietkabelis, who returned to the European Cup, but the Vilnius team leaders saw this player in their composition. In this season’s LKL championships, K. Giedraitis did not run on the floor, and last year he scored 3.1 points per game.
