Who is Mantis Kalnietis? Moved to Tualatin/Summer League player

[TBpup]

The article is in another language but the headline says he moved to Tualatin near the Blazer practice facility and it looks like he will be on the Summer League roster.

A 6'5" PG who has been playing for Zalgiris for most of his career and from Sabonis country. Has anyone heard anything else about him?

Not much of a shooter, but his size and assist/TO numbers aren't bad.

Mila Kunis?

I remember a radioshow talking about him like 6-7 years ago when he put his name in the draft and wasn't drafted. I only remember him because of his weird ass name that got stuck in my head, I think the issue with him was he was big and a good defender but wasn't an elite athlete and only had so so court vision with a bad jump shot.

Petteri Kaponen is better. Just as tall but heavier, he's a PG who's an excellent shooter. We could buy his rights for about $50.

I think he's been on our SL teams before.
