Although it was announced officially by the club that the team captain Steponas Babrauskas will not be staying in Vilnius, eventually Rytas decided to extend the contract with the player for one more season.
The main reasons behind the decision to keep the 26-year-old shooting guard was his leadership as a team captain. Many fans wanted Babrauskas to stay too.
Babrauskas averaged 7 points per game in Euroleague last season with an averaged index ranking of 2.6.
