Last season protagonist in Liga ACB and in Eurocup with the Spaniards of Gran Canaria. He will play with the number 33
TREVISO. The guard who was missing from the De ‘Longhi TVB 2021/22 chessboard will be the Lithuanian Tomas Dimsa, born in Kaunas on January 2, 1994, 196cm, last season protagonist in the Liga ACB and in Eurocup with the Spaniards of Gran Canaria. He will play with the n ° 33.
Dimša started like many compatriots in the Žalgiris-Arvydas Sabonis school for four seasons. In 2013, Dimša was inducted into the main roster of Žalgiris Kaunas making his first appearances in the first team. In 2016 he moved to Vytautas Prienai – Birštonas where he plays until 2018 (also playing the FIBA Europe Cup) with a brief experience also in Varese in our LBA in the final of the season. He then continues the experience at home with Juventus Utena and with Panevėžys with whom he holds an average of 14.1 points, 2.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game in 2019-20, a year in which he plays and shines also in Champions League with 13.2 points and 3.5 assists per game, seasoned by 44.4% of three points.
In the last season he stands out in particular by playing with one of the revelation teams of the year in Europe, Gran Canaria that goes up to the semifinal of Eurocup. In the continental tournament where Gran Canaria stops in the penultimate act at the hands of the French of Monaco, Dimsa scores 10.2 points per game in 22 minutes on average with a thunderous 46.8% from three points, as well as 46% from two and 2.4 rebounds. In the Spanish league he traveled on 7 points per game with 1.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game.
Athletic player, excellent long-range shooter, he is solid in defense where he can mark opponents of different roles thanks to the great speed of his legs and a remarkable explosiveness that still reveals interesting growth margins. He can indifferently cover the role of guard or winger thanks to the important physical means and the flexibility on both sides of the field.
In the national team Dimša represented Lithuania in the U16 and U19 youth tournaments with a silver medal and a bronze medal in the European category. Dimša won the gold medal at the 2017 Universiade after defeating the US team in the final. Since 2020 he has also entered the senior national team of Lithuania, where the competition is very high, and he carves out important minutes in the European and Olympic qualifiers (10 appearances, 6.6 points per game and 44% from three).
