Smth happened to my memory cause i strangely forgot many Lith players in PAO. Especially Siskauskas who was nearly the best sf playing in Europe at that time. But i still don't really agree. The thing is that all others played in a great or still good PAO. Whereas Grigonis played in a trash PAO with a number of problems and he was only a small one. Since when players are blamed for being injured? And i don't believe that he was most-plaid in the team. If he got more than Bacon then blame your management, but not him.
trashonis is garbage not bercause i say so, because he actually is. those who say he is great if used properly are the same who say that lucic is better than hezonja. but when you ask the reason the 34 yo old lucic played his entire career in teams like partizan,bayern and valencia and only once reached the playoffs they cant answer. which is quite obvious why they cant, cause there is not a single argument that can be used to prove lucic is better than hezonja. probably they are the same that will tell you that sikma is better than juancho, goss is better than mike james etc. typical greeks that have 0 knowledge of the game, they have never touched a basket ball, lovers of the "greek basketball school" and stuff like that. people like these, are the reason greek NT was,is and always be spain's bitch, serbia's bitch etc and will never provide players with talent.
idiots like paspalj will tell you that winning basketball is the one with players like grigonis, walkup, sikma, goss etc. we saw winning basketball in the f4 with walkup having 0 points in both games and trophy won by the elders and "out of system" players like llull
as for thrashonis, he has nothing to offer to the team, especially after signing mykhailiuk, not even for bench depth. he cant be the backup sg for 10-15 minutes behind vildoza cause he cant provide instant scoring. he cant drive, he cant score after isolation, he is always a target in defense and in general he cant be part of an ataman team, cause the only way he can be usefull to a team is if the whole team works for him after endless passing game to create free shots for him. guy will be the one with that role and remains to be seen if he can be up to this challenge in euroleague. but the good scenario is that he will be our jaycee carrol, something grigonis can never become
thats why thrashonis' only good euroleague season was in alba many years ago, a team that every year works on creating opportunities for shooters but also every year finish last. ataman teams play modern basketball, depending more on isolation and personal abilities rather than many systems and ball movement to create open shots for shooters like grigonis. plus grigonis cant even come out of screens to shot, something guy can do
