Today PBC CSKA also signed American center Victor Alexander (33 years old, 208 cm) to a contract. The player who will temporarily replace Gatling has already been included on the Euroleague and Superleague rosters and will be able to play in the upcoming CSKA games.
"We have a great coach and a great team," said Alexander, who has been practicing with CSKA for more than a week. "I have always tried to play for good teams. I’m not only after money for my work, but also a chance to win."
- Do you mean win the Euroleague?
No, not only. The Russian Superleague also. Up until now, everywhere I’ve played in Europe I’ve had a chance to battle for a championship
- How would you compare this CSKA team with the Tau team that you played with in the Euroleague finals last year?
I think Tau and CSKA have different styles. The Army club has stronger perimeter players. On the other hand, Oberto and Skola from Tau are serious players in Europe. I worked really well with them after playing an entire season together. Here, we’ll wait and see.
