Professional career
Born in Panevėžys, Kadžiulis started his professional basketball career at the age of 16, when he signed with LKL's Kalnapilis Panevėžys. After three seasons, he moved to BC Lietuvos Rytas. In 2002, Kadžiulis was an entrant in the NBA Draft, but went undrafted. Continuing his career in Europe, Kadžiulis played for various Russian and Polish teams. He came back to Lithuania in 2008, signing with BC Šiauliai, but following the season, he again moved abroad. In 2011, he returned to Lithuania and signed with BC Prienai.
Coaching career

He was replaced as head coach in December 2015 by Kazys Maksvytis, though he remained in the team as an assistant.
