Grigonis: “Panathinaikos with Brown is something of a super team – We will be at the top”

THE Marius Grigonis comment after the friendly victory of Lithuania over Slovenia in Vilnius the moves made by Panathinaikos after its acquisition Lorenzo Brown speaking of a supergroup. The experienced shooting guard/forward jokingly added that the “greens” will need more balls, while he impressively mentioned the atmosphere of OAKA. In detail, the 30-year-old ace spoke about:

-the few days off he had: “It’s nice to be back in the national team, although I wish I was in Greece and on a beach right now. It’s been a long season with a lot of ups and downs and a lot of joy at the end.”

-the role he has in Lithuania in relation to Panathinaikos: “It’s hard to go from one system to another, you just go and try for the best. The level of play and quality is maybe a little different, especially in the guards. Here (in Lithuania) the coach gives me more shots.”

-the invitation to Motiegiounas to come to OAKA: “I don’t know if he will have a proposal or not. I have no words to describe the energy and atmosphere. You have to experience life in Greece with such fans. You have to have this experience, you can’t describe it. Donatas at this age knows what he needs.”

– the acquisition of Lorenzo Brown: “It will be interesting to see what happens. It will be necessary to bring more balls into the games. In general, it is good that Panathinaikos is climbing very high. It will be something like a super team, because they are also renovating the stadium. I believe we will be at the top”.

-the fact that Kuzminskas became the leader of Lithuania: “I don’t know why they chose him, I didn’t participate in the process (laughs). He has played in the national team for many years, he is very experienced and has seen many generations pass through the team. The concept of a leader is slowly diminishing, but he is the greatest, we listen to him and follow him.”
