Honored Coach of Russia Sergei Elevitch told that he did not believe that CSKA after signing French striker Livio Jean-Charles, has strengthened as a top player.
CSKA announced on Monday the signing of a contract with Livio Jean-Charles under the “1 + 1” scheme. For two years, the basketball player has been playing for Olympiacos. Last season, Jean-Charles, 28, participated in the Euroleague Final Four with a Greek club.
– Of course, it’s not bad that CSKA signed Jean-Charles. They take and the players go to them. But still, we won’t see very good basketball players now. Our teams won’t have the Euroleague now, but all the best, good players will still play in this tournament. Well, if for a lot of money, maybe they will go. But an athlete who wants to show off will want to play in the Euroleague. They really need performance stats in this tournament. He must be constantly in sight. His future depends on it, and the age of the player is not so long – 10-12 years old. So I don’t think the best players will come now. This is my personal opinion. I can’t change it. And I don’t think anyone will let a good player go. In general, now I would give a chance to open up to our young basketball players, – said Elevich.
