How long will they play, how will everything develop and how far will Bogdanovic go with Atlanta… Euroleague players have just started to play dynamically, every game is playoffs.
We will try to start in June, when everything is finished, to invite the candidates who finished the game, let’s say, to be there for a few days, to see each other, to do joint training and to take exams before the annual vacation . Bad preparation – bad results, that’s the rule. Let’s take the best and prepare well. This is a priority.”
