After Khalid El-Amin’s season was declared to be over, Lietuvos Rytas’ searches for a new point guard began. Reportedly, the search is over as the Lithuanian champions inked Sherron Collins , formerly from the Kansas Jayhawks, on Friday.

The 23-year-old American point guard started the season with the Charlotte Bobcats and played 16 games in the NBA before moving to the D-League. Collins averaged only 1.1 points and 0.5 assists for the Bobcats, but the statistics, as could be expected, got a noticeable bump, when the guard moved the Maine Red Claws, where he collected 12 points and 3.2 assists per game.

At his time in the NCAA with the Jayhawks, Collins was averaging 15.5 points and 4.5 assists, with his best season being the 2008-09 campaign where the guard was scoring 19 points per game and dishing out an additional 5 assists.

The experience and basketball IQ of El-Amin, not to mention his coolness under pressure, is a huge asset to the Rytas team that will be sorely missed after he suffered this injury. But the club is hopeful that Collins arrival will deliver that same power and fire in their game. Indeed, Rytas came very close to making it to the playoffs and they are raring to get just as far, if not improve their showing next season.
