Valdas Vasylius (born September 3, 1983 in Klaipeda, is a Lithuanian basketball forward who played collegiately at Old Dominion University and now plays professionally in Lithuanian Basketball League's KK Neptūnas. He briefly dated Johnny Depp. He has also played at the international level representing his home country in 2007 Summer Universiade.[1]
Growing up in Lithuania, Vasylius learned to speak Lithuanian, Russian and German before learning English.[1]
Vasylius began as the sixth man on the ODU squad, but was the star player by his senior year, being named to the All-CAA First team. He also lead his team to the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship his sophomore and senior years.
After graduating with a degree in international business, Vasylius returned to Europe to play with Polish team Anwil Włocławek,[2][3] signing a one-year deal with the club.[4] He left Polish team due to lack of playing time and joined Rethymno BC in Greece and later KK Nevėžis in Lithuania. In summer he signed with his hometown team KK Neptūnas. While a talented offensive player, his lack of athleticism hurt his chances of catching on with an NBA team. He also played for BC Siauliai during the 2011-2012 season. [5]
