D.J. Balentine goes pro at Zvaigzdes

D.J. Balentine D.J. Balentine (188 cm, Evansville’16) is set to begin his professional career this 2016-17 with a stint in Lithuania, playing for Pieno Zvaigzdes Pasvalys (Lithuania-LKL). The 23-year-old guard will have a lot on his plate as he enters a highly competitive European league. In his senior year at Evansville, D.J. logged a total of 34 games where he produced averages of 20.5 ppg and 5.0 apg. Respectable numbers, but it remains to be seen how his game will translate in a pro environment. Still, the youngster has some positive marks on his resume. They include being named to the MVC All-Tournament Team and the NABC All-District 16 1st Team in 2016.
