Three Slovenian basketball players who are in training in Zreče have already or will play for university teams. Slovenian selector welcomes the opportunity to prove themselves in the USA, even though it does not guarantee a representative appearance. “When I was young, I always dreamt of going out, playing in the USA and trying out for university basketball.
They just need to make sure that their development and progress process does not stop,” said David Gaspar. But the approach of coaches in the USA is completely different from that in Europe, warns assistant selector of the men’s national team Luka Bassin. “For boys and girls, aged 19, 20, who are considered top talent, it is better to stay in Europe.
I think Europe has a better system of basketball education,” he explained. Sara Sambolić from Michigan State University adds: “The system is different. It is more based on physical preparation.”
