Limnatis: “Fixed faithful to the support and development of young Greek players”

Prometheus’s coach, George Limniatiwas hosted at Eok webradio And he referred to the summer design of the roster ahead of the new season.

In detail what he said:

For what percentage they are in the design part: “We are right now at a point where we can say that we know what we want, what we are asking for in every position. We have first identified the positions we are looking for players. We currently have an American player, Kendal McCallum, whom we have long been closed. We are 60-70% ready to say that in the coming days we can be in 50% of foreign players. As for the Greeks, we have made a decision that Greek players are specific. We have our own children, Prometheus who gives a great base to it. In recent years, especially Karagiannidis and Bazinis have made the step-up, as did Lagios. We will move on to this logic. I personally served her in Peristeri. The logic is to be able to support children to take an even bigger step in their careers. Karagiannidis has already done so, but it will be with us this year as well. Therefore, what we are looking at is to take a step forward and see the next ones coming from below. “

Whether he plays a role in adding an American the plan he has about young Greek players: “It plays a very big role. There are two roads. Whether you go to some safe choice, as safe as a foreign player can be, and leave room for the young Greek player, so that you have the … security that if he does not respond, you will put the stranger. There is also the second road, which combines risk to the Greek and foreign player at the same time. Everyone chooses what they consider best. For me, it is clear that the way to produce players is not when they play in the last 5 minutes with the difference at 20 points, but when they are called to fight where the ball is burning. I did this last year with Abdala, Zugris, Stavrakopoulos, I did it because they really deserved it. If we want to give Greek players and improve them, they have to play where the game needs to make decisions. “

For the difficulty of summer transcriptional design: “The difference with the recent past, in terms of young players, is Nil. The money that children get to go to college. This, especially for European Bakchett, is a big “wound”. The more “poor” tank you have, the worse things get. Also, G-League has changed its money. Because the American player always has the NBA dream, there are children who chase it and stay there because they have the appropriate financial gain. Finally there are China and Japan that give money. “

For the differences of the small roster in terms of the many and difficult obligations in the week: “As far as you all know, the level of the next championship will be at a much higher level. All teams have a financial ability, so there will be very difficult matches. One solution is the big roster, the other the little one. Both scenarios have their positives and negatives. The big roster gives you the safety that when injuries occur you will not “hurt” so much, but it is a given that players cannot find pace and there will always be moans. In the small roster they all have a rhythm, they are all happy. Even after their bad games they will find a way to appear again in the next. However, it has the issue of injuries that all teams have faced. You have to put both scenarios in the scales and decide which is more feasible, according to the financial opportunities the organization can have. “
