Wisconsin forward Aleksas Bieliauskas has committed to South Carolina out of the NCAA transfer portal, per DraftExpress’ Jonathan Givony. He spent just one season with the Badgers.

He’ll be looking to help revitalize a South Carolina program that has fallen on hard times in recent years under coach Lamont Paris. Paris, interestingly enough, also has ties to Wisconsin as a former assistant there from 2010-17, though the two never crossed paths.

In any case, Aleksas Bieliauskas should offer the Gamecocks a unique skill set. He checks in at 6-foot-10, 235 pounds and can stretch the floor.

Bieliauskas averaged 4.9 points and 4.4 rebounds per game while suiting up for the Badgers this season. He started 28 games, appearing in 35 total. He averaged 20.2 minutes per contest.

During that time, Aleksas Bieliauskas showed he could be a threat out to the 3-point line. He attempted 81 from downtown and made 28 of them, connecting at a 34.6% clip. That’s plenty respectable and will help South Carolina stretch the floor from the wing.
