The depth chart of Olympiakos and the “alchemies” of Bartzokas after the shock with Fal

His… evil demon Olympiakou this season has no end, as, after so many injuries during the year, the “red and whites” enter the final stretch of the championship against the background of the finals with the “eternal rival”, without Mustafa Fal.



And to think that the French center’s injury came two days after his serious injury Keenan Evans which will keep him out for 6-8 months, with the American Zalgiris guard considered closed by the “red and whites”.

Given that they were “cut” from the list of the playoffs Moses Wright, Luke Sikma and Ignas Brazdeikis and no further changes are allowed to be made to the positions of foreigners, o George Bartzokas and his associates are called upon to perform “alchemies” to fill Fal’s huge void in the racket.

Starting from the semi-finals with Peristeri bwin, Olympiacos is invited to flank the Nikola Milutinov in position “5” with his compatriot, Philip Petrushev, moving him up one place from ‘4’. Of course, the former NBAer can serve in that role, as he has in his career in the past.

From then on, it is a given that the leader, Kostas Papanikolaou, he will need to offer his services at the “4” as well, helping Alec Peters, since as we predicted Petrusev will carry a lot of weight at the center position. In “3” now, apart from Papanikolaou, McKissick and Lorentzakis they will play in place of SF.

As one can understand, the ability of many Olympiakos players to play more than one position on the floor allows the team to find solutions from within after the new misfortune with Fal.
