Partizan, Peñarroya: “Baskonia are better than their position suggests”

Partizan hosts Baskonia in EuroLeague Round 11, with Joan Peñarroya warning that the Spanish side is much better than its current record. “There are no easy games in EuroLeague and Baskonia is a good team, even though the standings don’t reflect that,” Peñarroya said. “They are dangerous, especially their shooters Lawson, Simmons and Duarte, and they also have a very good young player in Joksimovic.”

The Partizan coach warned against complacency: “The problem would be thinking about their losing streak and the fact that they have only one win. We need to start strong and aggressive and establish our rhythm.”

Nikola Tanaskovic added: “They are much better than their current position suggests. We need maximum energy and focus.”
