Panathinaikos AKTOR continues its search for a tall player, with Dario Saric (30 years old, 2.08 meters) now on the “green” list and Ergin Ataman considering his situation.
Dario Sarits (30 years old, 2.08 meters) is now in the attention of Panathinaikos AKTOR regarding the position of the tall man who will complement Matias Lessor under the baskets and close the front line of the team.
The Croatian NBAer – who is in Greece and has a great presence with his country in the Pre-Olympic competition, which makes a possible contact even simpler – was praised and the “clover” examines his situation, having collected all the elements that d the Ergin could. Ataman: In other words, he is a high Stretch, who opens the court, has good size and a high basketball IQ, since he is a good passer.
Saric competes in the Pre-Olympics as a power forward alongside Ivica Zubac. In recent years, however – especially after the cruciate ligament tear he suffered in the 2021 NBA Finals between the Suns and the Bucks – he has almost exclusively been spent in the middle of the fairway on the teams he played for for them, which he did again this year with the Warriors.
As is clear, the level of the “green” high line could be raised even more if Saric was added, since the quality and class of the high Croatian is insurmountable.
In the 2023/24 season, Saric averaged 8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists on 37.6% 3-pointers in 17 minutes with the Warriors (64 games – 9 as a starter). Last summer he signed a one-year contract with Golden State, which has ended, and as a result he is a free agent.
