Darjuš Lavrinovič



Darjuš Lavrinovič (Dariusz Ławrynowicz) born November 11, 1979 in Vilnius, Lithuanian SSR, USSR is a Polish-Lithuanian professional basketball player currently at center for UNICS Kazan and the Lithuania national team.

Always considered less talented than his twin brother Kšyštof, Darjuš Lavrinovič has blown by him in the season of 2005-06, as he blossomed with Žalgiris Kaunas. The athletic forward probably needed a couple of seasons at Kaunas to adapt before breaking out. He became a rebounding monster this year, claiming the crown in both the LKL and Baltic League (9.8 rbds a game in each competition). His scoring was also way up, as he became almost unstoppable on several occasions with his combination of quickness, size and shooting touch.
