Caen Basket Calvados has the replacement for Marc-Eddy Norelia, out until the end of the second phase. The arrival of the Lithuanian Rolandas Jakstas was made official this Wednesday April 3, 2024. He will be able to play, barring any unpleasant surprises, against Tours, Saturday April 6, 2024 (8:00 p.m.). Rolandas Jakstas, 31, arrives from Telsiai, a Lithuanian second division club, where he averaged 15.6 points and 6.2 rebounds per game.
“We didn’t find an athletic guy,” explains Stéphane Eberlin. We took a player who can play in positions 4 and 5.” Rolandas Jakstas is presented as a strong winger by the club. He measures 2m03. His last match dates back to February 24, 2024, when he scored 21 points. But he could be slightly lacking in rhythm, in a competition – the top group of NM1 – where intensity is very important.
A good season in France
“He has a three-point shot, a good outside two-point shot, he can also play 5,” presents Stéphane Eberlin. He has a great basketball IQ. He’s a good defender, quite rough, and a good passer. » Rolandas Jakstas spent a large part of his career in the Spanish second division. He was still playing there before returning to the country this season.
He also has a season in France, at Gries-Oberhoffen. The Alsatian club was then playing in Nationale 1 and the Lithuanian had had a very good season with 13.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists. It was in 2016-2017. He had played a match in Caen, without leaving a memorable memory (8 points and a 95-68 defeat).
Rolandas Jakstas will remain in the CBC squad if the club is forced to go to the playoffs.
