After his departure Sasha Vezenkov and his “no”. Nikola MiroticThe Olympic turns to other solutions for position ‘4’. Giorgos Bartzokas has chosen to fill the void with Luke Sikma both sides are in discussions.
The 34-year-old (2.03m.) is free after six years from Alba Berlin. The American plays as a power forward, but resembles something of a… racket playmaker. It has amazing game concepthe is a great passer, has good technique, a decent long shot (this year he had 28.6% on 3-pointers, but in his Euroleague career he shoots 35.8%), but he lacks athleticism and can only cover the “4” position .
Last season he had 7.6 points (67.7% shooting, 53.9% 2-pointers, 28.6% 3-pointers), 5.3 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1 steal, 2.5 turnovers and 12.9 in rated at 22:28 on average playing in 33 of Alba’s 34 Euroleague matches.
The coach of Olympiakos believes that this particular player can serve his plan very well, since even though he is not a scorer at the level of Vezenkov or Mirotic, he can help the team in other ways.
The two sides have already opened a channel of communication and it is estimated that a deal is very likely. After all, for the first time in his career he will have the opportunity to compete in a team that stars.
