This is what I have so far. listed at 7'2" 241 lbs

According to reports, the Knicks have been watching him for over 3 years, and Knicks' president visited Šiauliai during the 2012-13 season to meet with Galdikas and watch him play, however, Galdikas was injured at the time[3]). In August 2013, the New York Knicks again showed interest in Galdikas, describing him as a 'diamond in the rough' and the 'third best Lithuanian center after Jonas Valančiūnas and Donatas Motiejūnas.[4]

During the 2014-2015 season he was scoring 11.2 points (74% FG), grabbing 10 rebounds and blocking 2.6 shots, while representing Asseco Gdynia club in Poland. Following it, he decided to participate in NBA Summer League to seek his dream of representing NBA club.[5] He will represent New York Knicks in the summer league.[6]

I think someone on realgm from poland posted that the reason he isn't in the nba is personal issues- he got a 14 year old or something pregnant and then had to marry them or something- no idea if true or not!

It's also on wikipedia:

Prior to becoming famous for his actions on the court, Galdikas appeared in the Lithuanian media because of his relationship with and subsequent marriage to an underage girl to avoid facing charges for statutory rape. He was 19 at the time and his wife, at 15 years old, was the youngest bride in Lithuania in 2008

I agree!! I can't believe he is 217, he looks so much bigger than that. I would e happy with any of those options. All of those guys can bring something to our team. It is up to him to show us that he belongs here.

The Future is Bright!

I found some stats for him. From what I can see he wasn't playing heavy minutes so maybe the stat totals I posted earlier were were adjusted? He doesn't have a good FT% but his stroke looks ok. I like a big who shoots the ball and not some over the shoulder skyhook chuck like Cole.

Wonder how diversified his offensive game is at this point.

Moves around a lot on D and seems to be a natural shot blocker.

Saw one play on another video where he got beat by a guy going around him on the right, but then did a complete pivot to his left (almost like he was making a movement to shoot a right handed hook), and came around to block the shot at the basket with his right hand.

No highlights of rebounding? How many boards does this dude average? Does he box out well?

Pretty good from the line- I alway see this as significant.

he averages 2.78 (FTA) and 2.03 (FGM), so at least half of the time he makes both of them

Great numbers can't wait to see him on the floor. Is Cole not coming back?
