Luka Samanic was a personal wish of his Pablo Lasso for two years, as he pointed out shortly after acquiring the tall Croatian from the Baskonia.
“I personally know him well. I wanted to get him since I was working at Bayern Munich. He is a player we looked at this summer as well. He can play both as a power forward and as a center. He needs to adapt, but he has pace and can raise our level both physically and qualitatively. But he’s just arrived, so he’ll need time to figure out what’s going on.”
Regarding the upcoming game with Red Star (2/12, 21:30) and her condition Baskoniathe Spaniard commented: “Since Giannis Sfeiropoulos arrived, the team has successfully implemented his ideas. The team is at a high level, they coped brilliantly with the problems that arose with the absence of Joel Boloboi. The problems created in the racket were not visible.
We are slowly finding our identity. There are still mistakes that cost us dearly, some stupid mistakes, some rebounds that we don’t manage to get. It’s those moments when you can’t score anything and your opponent scores on every possession. But they are important for the team to mature.
We don’t tend to play perfect games, but we need to find our toughness. He took three periods in the matches against Paris and Manresa, forcing our opponents to make mistakes. I am pleased with the progress we have made in the last month”
