Martynas

Andriuskevicius

Neither player will offer much in the way of fantasy value, but the Bulls felt they needed someone else other than Luke Schenscher to help back up Ben Wallace at center. Both players come in with D-League experience and will see very limited roles with their new teams.

He had four points and four boards before departing. Coach Kenny Natt had good things to say about the rookie afterwards. ''He’s really coming along,’' he said. ''He needs to get stronger, and we’ll be patient with him. He has the fundamentals that we thought he had. He’s a good shot-blocker and a heady player. Marty will be fine.’'

In his second stint in the D-League this season, Andriuskevicius averaged 2.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in just 10.7 minutes per game. In his seven games with the RimRockers, he’s averaged 6.7 points and 3.6 rebounds.

Overall, he is averaging 8.7 points and 4.2 rebounds on 53 percent shooting in 10 games with the RimRockers. The rookie has only gotten into six games for the Cavs his first season.

The 7-2 rookie was re-assigned to Arkansas on March 16.

Andriuskevicius (thank god for cut and paste) has played only one minute this season.

The Lithiuaniun rookie has yet to play in a game this season. “We’ve thought about [sending him to the D-League],” Brown said, “but there are a lot of things from the coaching standpoint to think about. I think he’s learned a lot from practicing every day here.”

Andriuskevicius is averaging 12.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in 22.3 minutes per game while shooting 54 percent in four games. With Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Drew Gooden, Donyell Marshall and Anderson Varejao in their depth chart, he isn’t likely to have a role this season with Cleveland.

The rookie averaged 9.3 points and 5.3 rebounds in three games with the Arkansas RimRockers. He’ll have no fantasy value during his first year.
