HOLDEN: “FIVE PLAYERS FROM MEGA CAN PLAY IN NBA”
Matches of Mega Leks have long been the meeting place of many NBA scouts and famous people from the world of basketball. Recently the guest of Mega Leks was multiple winner of the Euroleague and former French playmaker Antoine Rigodo, a duel of players of Dejan Milojevic and Olimpija was attended by J.R. Holden. Once brilliant playmaker, who with the CSKA Moscow won the Euroleague twice, and with Russian national team in 2007th became the champion of Europe, is currently working as a scout Detroit Pistons.
Mega was somewhat unexpectedly defeated by Olimpija, but that in no case did not spoil the impression of Holden, who was a keen talent thay possess players of Mega Leks:
“I really like how Mega Leks plays. I got the impression you play as college teams in the NCAA league, quickly and easily. They have a lot of really talented players. The way they play defense, and how easily scoring in the attack allows them to be equal against any team, especially if they set their style of play”.
Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot in the match with Olimpija had a dunk for Top moves. Many sites that specialize in NBA classifies him as the first round draft pick. It is known that the Scouts are not allowed to comment on individual players, which is why Holden made a general comment:

“The system teaches them fundamental matters, but also how to play quickly. You can always learn to play slow, but to play fast in Europe is very, very difficult to learn. This is a very big problem during the adaptation to the system in the NBA and there many guys can not cope. The game is much faster in America. But these guys from Mega Leks will certainly be much better prepared. Because they already play a very fast, they’re smart, they think quick and make smart decisions on field. This will certainly help them in the future”,
concluded Holden.
