According to sportnet,gr, Peristeri are getting anxious about Shaun Pruitt still being in the States and practicing with the Golden State Warriors. He has played in 3 games in the preseason so far averaging, 10 minutes per game. Peristeri need Pruitt to get to them as soon as possible, because the Greek League starts on the 22nd of October and time is running short.
He is meant to be their starting center and they have already started making plans for alternative players. Pruitt played last season in Latvia, Czech Republic and China. His best performance was playing for BK Prostejov, averaging 16.4 points and 9.9 rebounds in 22 games in the Czech league.
This is a tough decision for both the player and club. Peristeri need to have their roster completed in order to properly train for for the upcoiming season. However, Shaun is also getting a possible once in a lifetime opportunity to make the Golden State Warriors. Unless they have told him that he has no chance of making the team (which it seems they have not), Pruits first obligation is to perform as well as he can so he can make their club. Very tough for both parties.
