Actually, Rion Brown should replace Thanasis, so it would still be possible to fill the SF position of Lojeski with Roll as the Deal between Michael Roll, Milan to fall through.
But according to latest reports I dont read about any further signing. Rion Brown would be a good fit to help SG + SF as a third choice. So I still hope for a player like Roll to share minutes with Papapetrou -
I think Kuzminskas would be great fit to that team as he brings size but we dont have the budget for.
So it´s net salary approximately from reports I read or estimate:
PG: Calathes, Rice, Kalaitzakis (2,3Mio/600K/180K) 3,08Mio
SG: Fredette, Pappas (1,75Mio/700K) 2,35Mio
SF: Papapetrou, Rion Brown (700K/400K) 1,1Mio
PF: Thomas, Wiley, Mitoglou, (700K/500K/500K) 1,7Mio
C: Papagiannis, Ben Bentil, (700K/400K) 1,1Mio
total: 9,3 Mio net salaries / frontcourt: 3,9Mio for 7Players - backcourt: 5,4Mio for 5Players
Compared the roster to last season, I see the replacements as follows:
Pedoulakis for Pitino - clear deficit because Pitino has brought extra motivation and glamor.
Rice much stronger than Lekavicius
Fredette theoretically stronger than Langford whether it remains "much stronger" we will see, he has the potential to become one of the league's top scorers.
(but if Fredette cost us a Starter SF I am not shure if that will pay of becasue we dont have a good replacment of Lojeski)
Wiley will play C and PF, probably not worse than the old Gist - but I see not much quality difference there.
Ben Bentil if he will replace Vougiouskas, he will be at least fresher than a 34-year-old. For Pana important that he does not fail.
So in the end it is very important that Papagiannis carries on with his performance at which he stopped by the last 7 games he was 9ts 5reb in 20min
and I hope he has found the way to play consistently. Grace period is over for him.
My Prediction when the roster stays like above, Place 6-9
When we get a good SF, Place 4-7 (first 3 Places are reserved for Real, Fener and Barca. The 4 place probably reserved for CSKA they lose to mutch quality to be a titel contender this saison.
We saved money with the signs of Pedoulakis, Rion Brown and Ben Bentil if that saving just lead to Fredette signing I am not so happy with because our frontcourt is weak.
