Former CSKA coach Dimitris Itoudis assessed the level of the VTB United League and its teams:
– CSKA, Zenit, UNICS, Loko and several other teams in the League are very serious organizations.
Take the example of Aleksa Avramovic, who played in the Euroleague for Partizan but eventually decided to come to the VTB League. That speaks a lot.
Now is the time for Europe to actively engage with Russian teams to strengthen our friendship and take basketball beyond the current realities.
