Team game is usually defined by ‘1’ and ‘5’ spot players. I am glad that we found appropriate point guard to the center we signed earlier. Krstic and Teodosic played a lot together in Serbian National Team, they know each other well. I think they will make up a strong unit. There is no need to introduce Teodosic: he is an experienced player already, he played in many games of top-level, including terrific Olympiakos – Panathinaikos battles. Therefore I am sure that he will help us.
