Steponas Babrauskas (born June 20, 1984) is a Lithuanian professional basketball coach and former player. He currently serves as assistant coach at BC Pieno žvaigždės.

Professional career

[edit]

Babrauskas was a runner-up in the Lithuanian Basketball League (LKL) with Lietuvos Rytas, in 2004. He won the Latvian Basketball League (LBL) with ASK Riga, in 2007. In 2008, he returned to Lietuvos Rytas, and was named the team's captain. With Rytas, he won the European secondary level EuroCup championship, the Lithuanian League championship, and the Baltic League (BBL) championship. He was one of the most hated opposing players by the rival fans of Žalgiris Kaunas.

He had a brief stint in Turkey, in the 2014-15 season, a year removed after he left Rytas. He played for three seasons with Pieno žvaigždės, with whom he won the Baltic League in 2018. He moved to Dzūkija in 2018.

National team career

Babrauskas' first major achievement in basketball came at the 2003 FIBA Under-19 World Cup in Greece, where he and the Lithuanian Under-19 National Basketball Team won silver medals. He also won a bronze medal at the 2004 FIBA Europe Under-20 Championship, in the Czech Republic. He first won a gold medal at the 2005 FIBA Under-21 World Cup, in Argentina.
