The Panathinaikos technical team makes the final decisions for the position left by Pierre Jackson: Kiefer Sykes and the experienced Selvin Mack play hard as a replacement candidate.
In recent days, Panathinaikos are looking for a playmaker, after the departure of Kiefer Sykes and the names that have been written on the internet are many. For example, the Demerius Jackson case was written, but the American midfielder denied the issue, which left Spain. Among other things, the name of Jason Randle was heard, a player who has quality and was scrutinized by the Greek champions.
However, at the moment one of the cases that has entered the final stage is that of Selvin Mack, according to his information. Sdna. In no case can we speak of a “finished case”, but the name of the 30-year-old knot keeper ranks high on the list of the technical staff of the “clover”.
The height of 1.91 m. American has some of the characteristics that George Vovoras looks for in the market. In fact, the recommendations they have received from Panathinaikos state that he is a serious player and an excellent professional.
The fact is that Mack came to Europe after eight years of career in the NBA and the G-League, wearing the shirt of the Wizards, Sixers, Hawks, Jazz, Magic, Grizzlies and Hornets, but in his step of Armani Milano and Hapoel Jerusalem did not live up to expectations. In any case, he is a player with a respectable career and a great resume, who in the past had signed good contracts and has already solved the … problem of his life (his earnings in the NBA amount to 18.9 million dollars total). .
Of course, Panathinaikos is looking for athletes with specific competitive and financial data and there are not many options in the market for the position “1”. Especially if one takes into account that the “greens” want to include in their potential a player who has European experience and does not come directly from the American basketball environment, so that he can adapt more quickly.
In last year’s Euroleague he averaged 4.9 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game against Armani Milano, after 11 appearances. In 456 NBA appearances over an eight-year period (2011-2019) he averaged 6.6 points, 2 rebounds and 3.1 assists.
