Per Verbal Commits, Milwaukee has offered Norbertas "Gee" Giga. 6'10" 245 lbs. Lithuanian player currently attending Midland Junior College

Nobertas Giga


Trying to get a backstory on this guy and here's what I learned from Google in five minutes:
- Committed to Florida State in 2013 but ended up going Juco after not qualifying academically.
- Charged with 3rd degree vehicular grand theft in August, 2015. Turns out he took someone else's scooter for two days at the athletic dorms and without permission. Was later reduced to a misdemeanor.
- Currently has a 3.0 GPA
- Averages 8.4 points, 7.4 rebs per game

Here's an article with some good background. Looks like he has the size we need next year. Based on some of the other offers I've seen out there, he may be worth taking a chance on. Anyone else know much about him?

He was hanging out with Abdul Hodge.

Maybe his nickname should be "Scooter" if he goes here.
