President of the VTB United League Sergei Kushchenko said that for the further development of Russian players within the framework of the tournament, foreign basketball players are needed, recognizing that after their release the quality of the league will decrease.
– The main task is the quality of basketball. It is clear that from now on the legionnaires will first choose the clubs that play in the Euroleague and Eurocup. But for Russian players to be at the level, to feel the competition, you still need legionnaires.
We understand that with the departure of some foreigners, the quality will drop, but, we hope, not so much that the tournament will significantly lose fan interest,” Kushchenko told reporters.
