Miro Bilan shared 18 points against Tenerife and is Spanoulis’ Trojan horse

Peristeri was impressive against Tenerife for the Basketball Champions League. But while Francisco-Radanov was in the spotlight, it was Miro Bilan who once again made the difference, offering his teammates 18 points. Stefanos Makris analyzed using InStat Scout.

Peristeri made another impressive start to the season, won 88-81 against Tenerife for the second game of Basketball Champions League. He played nice basketball, simple basketball. And it has an unsung hero.

On a night that saw Alexa Radanov (21 points), Sylvain Francisco (16 points, 5 assists) and Marcus Denmon (16 points) stand out, there was another player who proved crucial.

Miro Bilan, who finished the game with 9 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. And he is the player on which Vassilis Spanoulis’ Peristeri plan is based.

Bilan offered a total of 27 points in Peristeri

In accordance with InStat ScoutPeristeri got 12 points through the assists of the experienced center, but also another 9 through his screens. As a creator, he actually got 18 points, not 21, since 3 of those points came from a combination of assist and screen (a handoff game with Francisco where he gave him the ball and then the screen to free him). .

Be that as it may, this does not change the fact that Bilan offered his teammates 18 points in training, so in total (directly or indirectly) was responsible for Peristeri’s 27 points. Only Francisco contributed more points, with the French guard scoring 28 points (16 points + 12 assists) for Peristeri against Tenerife.

A creator from the middle position

bilan was the first transfer announced by Peristeri enters the era of Vassilis Spanoulis. Those who had watched the Croatian center in the past understood the logic behind the move. Those who didn’t know him recognized it when the games started.

The 33-year-old center is Spanoulis’ armor, or rather his Trojan horse. The Croatian’s ability to play with his back to the basket and put pressure on offensive rebounds is part of his game.

However, what sets him apart is that he’s an excellent creator from the middle position. A player seeing the field reads doubles teams and passes to his teammates.

In Peristeri’s first 4 games in all competitions so far, Bilan has averaged 12.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists.

But according to InStat Scout, Peristeri gets 8 points from his assists (second-best to Francisco’s 10 points from assists) and 7 points from screens he makes on teammates who fire right away. Together he is – directly or indirectly – responsible for 27 points per game.

Bilan is not a star. He doesn’t have the flash of other players. But he’s an extremely tall basketball player, a player with a high basketball IQ and instinct. And it’s Vassilis Spanoulis’ most important battle tank to date in attack.

In the past, Fraser of Prometheus asked to leave for personal reasons

A blow for Prometheus, because before two weeks had passed since the agreement with Tim Fraser, he had to terminate the contract of the American, who wanted to leave due to a family problem.

Tim Frazier’s second stint in the Stoiximan Basket League was short-lived after Prometheus announced the termination of his contract just 12 days after his acquisition.

As Patrini revealed, the American asked to leave for personal reasons, with Prometheus respecting his wishes.

Frazier managed to play in just one game with the Patriots – in the 68-71 loss to Dijon in the Basketball Champions League, where he had 8 points and 4 assists – with the only positive for Prometheus being no foreigner Stoiximan Basket League was substituted in the Basketball Champions League because he had not included him in his Greek squad.

The announcement in detail:

“KAE Prometheus Patras announces the amicable solution to its collaboration with Tim Frazier, respecting the exceptional family problem that has arisen for the American athlete. We thank him for his offer and wish him all the best for his career.”
