Mitrou-Long’s first training session with Olympiakos

Mitrou-Long incorporated in Olympic.

THE 30 year old guardwho was announced on Tuesday and is the latest acquisition of Piraeus, he trained for the first time with Giorgos Bartzokas’ team.

In fact, the sports director of the “red and whites”, Christos Bafes, published the relevant photo of the 30-year-old guard from SEF.

The 30-year-old came to Europe for the first time in the 2021-22 season, when he wore the shirt of Brescia. There, he shined, averaging 17.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5 assists, leading her to a third-place regular season finish (21-9) but was eliminated in the first round by Sassari. He won the award for the best debutant in the league, but also a… promotion to Armani Milan, where he could not stand out. In 21 EuroLeague games, he had 7.4 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in 17.5 minutes per game, but his playing time continued to decrease and, fatally, the two-year contract he had signed was terminated.

Before the end of the season, however, he had found his next team, as since May he had joined hands with Zalgiris, where he was also unable to stand out. In 9 appearances in the Euroleague he played for 10:14 on average with 4.1 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1 assist, while in the Lithuanian league he recorded 8.4 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in 19:05 per game. The Lithuanians did not want to keep him in their squad, and released him, which gave Olympiakos the right to complete his acquisition.
