Maroussi BC announced via its official website that the agent of american basketball prodigy Jeremy Tyler(2.11-PF/C), Sonny Vaccaro asked to meet them. Vaccaro is in Greece these days trying to secure a high profile contract for his client and Maroussi did not miss the opportunity to step in. Maroussi did bring another player from the States last season, american greek small forward Pat Calathes(2.07-SF) who is the older brother of the Gators star and this year's draft contestant, Nick Calathes (2.00-PG).
Sonny Vaccaro had a long meeting with the GM of Maroussi, Panayiotis Alexandris discussing in details the abilities of Jeremy Tyler and whether Maroussi would be a suitable team for him to develop his skills. The announcement said that Vaccaro will meet with other european teams as well and that he will stay in touch with the administration of Maroussi leaving the possibility of a deal open.
Steven Tyler? are you serious, i did not know that Aerosmith also plays basketball? ;-)
ReplyDeleteapologies for that :p
ReplyDeleteThe rumours started with interest of Olympiacos and Panathinaikos in Tyler's case. Now it's Maroussi turn (by the way the philosophy of the Athenean squad doesn't include risks like that:signing a 17year old guy). I guess in the near future some club out of A2 will be interested in Tyler too... :)
