Mitoglou: “Nan took a big weight off our shoulders – He was the missing piece of the puzzle”

The great importance of the addition of Kendrick Nan to the roster of Panathinaikos AKTOR was highlighted by Dinos Mitoglou in his statements on a Euroleague show.

One of the shamrock leaders pointed out that the American upon his arrival he managed to take off the shoulders of the other players of the team a very great weight with his value, characterizing him as the missing piece of the puzzle until then from the team.

Excerpt from what he said:

For the three points with Real:



“I’ll explain it as simply as I can. When I got the ball and faked it, I had 3-4 seconds to get the ball and shoot. I take a good look at the racket for 1-2 seconds. After I hit everything went black. It’s one of those game-cleaning moments. Great win for the team, great feeling.”

About Kendrick Nunn:



“When Nan came he brought everything we needed. This duo, Slukas and Nan. Nan took a big weight off our shoulders. He showed what a player he is, in addition to being a terrific person. He helped us and was the missing piece of the puzzle to level up our game.”

For Ataman:



“From the first moment, the first day in preparation when we all gather together. The coach gathers us and says “listen, we are not here to play, we are here to win the Euroleague and the championship”. He showed whoever he wanted, whoever he believed. He wants you and trusts you for a reason. The coach doesn’t care about big or small names. He is realistic and honest. He is not afraid. He is not afraid to speak his mind. You can see what a dynamic character he is. When you have a coach and you lose home court and he tells you “we’re going to the Final Four,” he said it with such confidence. He has a winning mentality and he pushed us.”
