Zeleno ide sa plavo-bijelim: Bivši evroligaš stiže u Podgoricu
Sjajni američki kombo bek, 31-godišnji Erik Grin od danas je zvanično novi košarkaš našeg kluba.
Riječ je o prekaljenom košarkašu prepoznatljiv prije svega kao vrhunski skorer, koji ima bogato evroligaško iskustvo.
Nosio je dresove Motepaskija, Olimpijakosa, Valensije gdje je igrao sa našim Bojanom Dubljevićem, potom ga je Željko Obradović 2018. godine doveo u Fenerbahče a igrao je i u Kini, Betisu, Bahčišehiru, da bi ove sezone igrao za Hapoel Holon iz Izraela.
U Holonu ove sezone ima 22.3 poena po meču, a nepravedno bi bilo samo da se gleda kao dobar poenter, kada pogledate kolonu ukradnih lopti, budući da i u toj koloni ima zavidne brojke.
Treba pomenuti da ima i NBA iskustvo u nastupima za Denver Nagetse i Jutu Džez, a bio je All star NBA G lige u dresu Stokton Kingsa (filijala Sakramenta).
U NCAA je nosio dres Virdžinije Teka, dijelio je svlačionicu sa velikom evroligaškom zvijezdom Malkomom Dilejnijem, a u svojoj poslednjoj sezoni NCAA bio je najbolji strijelac cijele lige sa 28 poena po meču.
