The basketball official commented respectfully on the Lithuanian basketball legend, but has no doubts about the chances of Jokičius, who has been under his patronage since adolescence.
Ražnatovičius bases his opinion on statistical indicators.
“Nikola is already much better than Sabonis,” Ražnatovičius told Sport24.gr. – With all due respect to Sabonis, he was a great player, but he did not register such numbers.
If you’re following this season, Nobody leads in transfers in the NBA. That means he distributes passes better than those great NBA defenders.
Sabonis was a true miracle because the centers didn’t make that many transfers in those days, and it was absolutely incredible. But now I would say that there is another level.
I think I assess the situation realistically, not because Jokičius is my client and friend. Historically, no shop has compiled such statistics. “
Jokičius, 208cm tall, 25, is giving away 11.9 assists per game in the NBA this season and is wrong 5.1 times.
Sabonis had the best transfer rate in the Atlantic in 1997-1998. in the season in which he distributed 3 passes per game. It was also the only year that he managed a double-double: 16 points and 10 rebounds.
Halfway through that season, the best Lithuanian basketball player turned 33rd.
When evaluating the indicator of effective transfers, Jokičius is experiencing a breakthrough this year: last season it distributed on average 6.8 effective transfers, in 2018-2019. its average was 7.4 transmissions.
Ražnatovičius also highlighted the brilliance with which the Serbian striker smoothed the pass across the field, which has become a unique element in basketball today.
“When Jokičis was nineteen, his famous baseball-style transfer flew to the sidelines or to the wall, but no one criticized him for it. Everyone encouraged him to work on it and the result was seen every year. Now it is unique,” he continued Jokičius’s agent.
He revealed to the Greek media that the country’s basketball fans could face Vassilio Spanouli, 38, who is also his client, returning to the national team next summer.
According to Ražnatovičius, the legend of Piraeus Olympiacos is seriously considering representing the country in the selection for the Olympic Games and, if successful, in the main tournament.
“We both thought that his history with the national team was over. If you had asked me a year ago, I would have said there is no doubt, – said Ražnatovičius. – But now the situation is slowly changing, think a lot about it. In my opinion, the possibility of a comeback is strong, but no decision has been made at the moment.
We believe that the Greek team with Gianni Antetokounmpo can do something really special. If Spanoulis plays and Greece is successful, which has not been the case for a long time, it would be a great crown for his career. “
Spanoulis left the Greek team after 2015. European Championship, which was his fifth. The defender then averaged 11.4 points, 5.3 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 14 utility points.
The country’s star with the national team became European champion and third in the Old Continent and runner-up in the world. Representing youth teams, he won medals from all fines.
This season, Spanoulis competes in the Euroleague on average after 17 minutes, scoring 7.3 points, making 2.9 assists and bouncing 1.6 balls.
