Zervas: “Olympiacos wins this with Ignas Brazdeikis”

His latest news of Olympiacos basketballafter the friendlies in Cyprus and the impending transfer of Brazdeikis from Zalgiris, transferred by Nikos Zervas to News Bulletin 247.

“At the moment there is no case for another transfer. Olympiacos closed the roster. It was a difficult summer, but we were justified in the part that the last transfer would take place at the end of September“, the team reporter initially reported.

“There was a lot of study, consultations, and Olympiacos, from the moment they could, even at a cost, with 500,000 euros, which is a lot for basketball“, he added.

And he went on to say:Since Slukas and Vezenkov left, he went shopping from a tank that is too narrow. He turned to the NBA market, Nan was the main target, and there was a lot of play. Nan’s first response was that he would respond at the end of August. He did not answer. The second answer is that on September 20-25 he will answer. And Davis was saying how he would respond. Since he doesn’t have anything certain, Olympiacos couldn’t wait. From the discussions, he could see that the players were not particularly well-prepared. They did not see their participation in the Euroleague as a prospect».

In the end he expressed his own opinion on the value of the new “red and white” player: “Everything happened very quickly and it was positive that all Zalgiris were in Cyprus, together with the player, and the discussions took place there. His first season in the EuroLeague was excellent and he has all the ingredients to develop into a new Walkup under the guidance of one of the top coaches. He helps a lot in all schemes, he helps in transition, he’s not a bad shooter at 31% and he will be able to improve it. He has great movement without the ball, which is what Barzokas is asking for and he would be missing without Sasha (Vezenkof) who is no match for him, and he has a nice level game, in some situations he can go one-on-one».
