Bartzokas confirmed that Saben Lee will debut next week against Partizan, with Nigel Williams-Goss also almost certain to participate.

"I'm counting on Lee. He's done 2 individual workouts. Tomorrow he'll join the team's workouts, but I think so, because our other guards are under pressure after Thomas Walkup's absence," Bartzokas started.

"The games require a lot of intensity, Goss was also injured, I think he'll play the day after tomorrow and obviously Lee will be in the starting 12."

"I imagine any player who comes to Olympiacos understands how important a club it is, how high the demands are and what we say about the weight of the jersey."

"Such are the demands from the world for the team, we're first in the Euroleague. Someone has to have real power. Because he has plenty of talent, he's fast, he has great handling, he's a good scorer."

"We believe in his talent, that's why he didn't sign just for this year. He has to join without the team expecting him. This point in the year is important," Bartzokas concluded.
