After three seasons in Spain, Lithuanian forward Rokas Giedraitis is set to continue his career in Serbia.

The 30-year-old is finalizing a one-year deal with Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade, according to BasketNews sources.

Giedraitis played his statistically best season last year for Cazoo Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz, averaging 10.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game for 13.5 PIR. His numbers were similar in the Spanish Liga Endesa (ACB) - 10.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1 assist for 12.4 PIR.

Known for his quick release, Giedraitis was named into All-ACB second team two years ago in his debut season with the Basques.

Giedraitis will join a vast list of new Crvena Zvezda signings, including Milos Teodosic, Adam Hanga, Joel Bolomboy, and Mike Tobey.
