College career

Vasylius began as the sixth man on the ODU squad, but was the star player by his senior year, being named to the All-CAA First team.

Professional career

After graduating with a degree in international business, Vasylius returned to Europe to play with Polish team Anwil Włocławek,[2][3] signing a one-year deal with the club.[4] He left Polish team due to lack of playing time and joined Rethymno BC in Greece and later BC Nevėžis in Lithuania. In summer he signed with his hometown team BC Neptūnas. While a talented offensive player, his lack of athleticism hurt his chances of catching on with an NBA team. He also played for BC Siauliai during the 2011–2012 season.[5]

Vasylius started the 2019–2020 season with BC Šilutė in the NKL where he averaged 17.8 points and 8.3 rebounds in 4 games.[6] He played his last game with Šilutė on 12 October 2019 and three days later he signed with Grindavík of the Icelandic Úrvalsdeild karla.[7] In his Grindavík debut, Vasylius posted a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds in Grindavík's narrow loss against Haukar.[8] He helped Grindavík to the Icelandic Cup Finals in February 2020 where it lost to Stjarnan.[9]

After two years with BC Šilutė, he returned to Grindavík in August 2022.[10]
