Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
It was not official but we are practicing very seriously and now we want to see few things. We shared the time, I think Lopata got the most minutes in the end, the rest received close to 12 minutes. We wanted to see how we look right now and get out of the routine of playing against each other, to see some different faces. We tried to play this scrimmage because we are going to St.Petersburg to play some serious opponents. We thank MBA as they accepted our offer and helped us, we wish them best of like. So right now we have watched what we wanted. Our new guys are making quick adjustments to the team - regarding the calls, spacing, all the needs we have offensively and defensively. All three newcomers are smart and have plenty of experience. Tremendous help is given by our veterans and other players, who are here for many years.
