Martynas Andriuškevičius (pronounced Mar-teen-es An-droo-SKAV-ih-chis) (born March 12, 1986 in Kaunas) is a Lithuanian professional basketball player. He is currently a reserve center for the Chicago Bulls in NBA.
Andriuškevičius was drafted by the Orlando Magic with the 44th pick in the 2005 NBA Draft. He was then traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers before being traded to the Bulls.
At 2.19 m (7 ft 2 in) and 109 kg (240 lb), he is an intriguing prospect because of his height. He was originally projected as one of the top picks in the draft, but a disappointing season in Europe and an apparent lack of improvement sent his draft stock spiraling down.
Andriuškevičius has noted perimeter skill for a player of his size, and has trained with former NBA center Arvydas Sabonis.
On August 18, 2006, Andriuškevičius was traded by the Cavaliers to the Chicago Bulls for swingman Eddie Basden.
