Panathinaikos‘ mission to Barcelona is by definition difficult and it becomes even more so since neither Kostas Sloukas nor Luca Vildoza will play. Of course, Kendrink Nunn hasn’t even come to Greece.
Who remains as a starter?
For Fantasy, we choose Jerian Grant without question!
Let’s highlight something you might not have noticed: Jerian Grant is the Panathinaikos player with the most minutes on the floor, except for Mathias Lessort!
Does it surprise you? Not us, at all.
Ergin Ataman trusts him a lot, especially at a time when Luca Vildoza has not yet found his footing and Kostas Sloukas has already been absent for one game.
Now both will be missing.
This means that Grant’s minutes of participation are guaranteed and will logically increase (28.5′ average), but what we expect most for Fantasy is that Grant’s responsibilities, efforts, and actions will increase.
At a price of 10.6 units – we would have preferred it to be a little lower for the 9.2 PIR he has on average – we will grab it without much thought.
The Other Options
For some time now, we have chosen Luca Banchi as coach and Toko Shengelia as captain of one of our teams. Fully justified choices, as Virtus is doing great and the Georgian star was named MVP of October in the EuroLeague.
We selected Joel Bolomboy two weeks ago and we strongly recommend him, since he is now playing as the main center for Crvena Zvezda and his price is still very low (8.9 points).
Take a look at the Evans-Smits duo from Zalgiris, while we stick with our “dark horse” from the beginning of the “Fantasy” season, Johannes Thiemann, whose price has risen to 10.3 points while starting in two games. We made a “steal” with this one.
