The new Lietuvos Rytas‘ playmaker Igor Milosevic arrived to Lithuania, despite previous reports of him playing against Barcelona in the opening game of the Euroleague Top 16 for Maroussi. Straight after the arrival to the freezing Vilnius, the player was presented with a hat and a scarf carrying the club’s logo.

A friendly atmosphere surrounded Milosevic’s first interview, the player joked about the weather, but didn’t give it much importance. “I came here to play basketball, not as a tourist. It will not be a problem to me,” the player said.

“I’m happy to have finally arrived here, to be playing for a team like Lietuvos Rytas,” said the point guard, who had been in the current Lithuanian champion watch list for quite a while now.

Milosevic was ecstatic that a coach like Rimas Kurtinaitis is at the helm of the club, admitting that playing in Euroleague’s Top 16 would have been great, but he’s happy to been given a chance to play in Lietuvos Rytas and prove himself. “Kurtinaitis was the best shooter in Europe,” said Milosevic, who hopes to learn a lot from his new coach.

The Serb with a Greek passport watched Lietuvos Rytas’ game against Olympiacos Piraeus and already knows what the team’s capable off. “I think, we can go very far,” said Milosevic. As a matter of fact, Milko Bjelica’s face will be the most familiar to the player as they have played in Crvena Zvezda together for a season.
