Azuolas Tubelis puts up a shot in the FIBA U18 European Championships on Aug. 4, 2019 in Greece.

Lithuanian twins Azuolas and Tautvilas Tubelis have committed to Arizona, according to ESPN, likely finishing off the Wildcats' 2020 recruiting efforts.

ESPN said the 6-10 Azuolas Tubelis is "considered the top European prospect in the 2020 class committing to the college route."  The 6-7 Tautvilas Tubelis played for Lithuania at the FIBA U16 European Championship in 2018.

Arizona confirmed their addition later Wednesday morning with posts on Instagram and Twitter.

Azuolas Tubelis told ESPN that the transition to college basketball in the United States will be easier to make with his brother. He also said UA associate head coach Jack Murphy has developed a strong relationship with him since the Basketball Without Borders camp in Chicago in February.

"Their campus is amazing, they have great fans and they are among best universities in college basketball," Azuolas Tubelis told ESPN. "Arizona has had similar players, like Derrick Williams for example, who coach Sean Miller developed, and I believe that will help me."

Azuolas Tubelis is expected to play a major role right away, joining sophomore center Christian Koloko, senior Ira Lee, Nevada transfer Jordan Brown, and French freshman Daniel Batcho in the mix for UA's two post spots.

Arizona now has 14 players lined up for 13 scholarship available spots, indicating that guard Brandon Williams likely will not return unless he's on medical retirement scholarship.

More than half of Arizona's 2020-21 expected roster is now composed of international players, a total of six recruits plus Cameroonian sophomore Christian Koloko.

Here's the roster as of now:
