Milutinov: “Panathinaikos is building a good team, it will be more difficult for us this year”

The Olympiakos center spoke about the new season, Nikola Milutinovwho after stressing that he feels sad about his departure Sasha Vezenkovexpressed the belief that the former (now) player of the “red and whites”, can also star in the NBA with the jersey of the Sacramento Kings.

In addition, the 28-year-old center referred to both in his decision Kostas Sloukas to leave Piraeus to go to Panathinaikosas well as in strengthening the “greens” which makes the work of Giorgos Bartzokas’ team more difficult.

In detail what the Olympiakos center said:



For Vezenkov: “I’m sad that Vezenkov left, I was hoping that we would be together. I know how he plays and he really deserves to be in the NBA. I believe he will do similar things there, if not better compared to what he achieved in the Euroleague”.

For Sluka: “Everyone can guess what the comments are about Sluka. He made his decision, there is nothing to comment on. He is mature and will go with what he has decided”.

For Panathinaikos: “Panathinaikos is building a good team this year, it has decided to return to the main stage and be at the top again. It will be much more difficult for us in the new season. First of all we won’t have Sasha, the MVP of the Euroleague, it will be difficult to compensate for his absence”.
