Auburn Adds International Talent | Arkansas Razorbacks Basketball News

Auburn basketball just got a major international boost with the arrival of Narcisse Ngoy and Mantas Rubštavičius, joining eight other new recruits as head coach Steven Pearl gears up for his second season. Pearl raves about Rubštavičius, comparing him to former star Chad Baker, praising his overseas experience, elite shooting, and rare ball-screen savvy — plus solid defense. The Lithuanian-Australian pro, who’s played in the EuroCup and even suited up for Golden State’s summer league, brings a scoring punch and deep three-point range. Now that both newcomers are on campus, the real test is how fast they adapt to Auburn’s system and mesh with the roster. The team’s August tour in Greece will be key to building chemistry before the season starts.
