Partizan
In the conversation with Basketball Sphere, Johnathan Motley stated: “It’s definitely not true that there was an offer from Partizan. I’ve heard rumors, but I’ve never actually spoken to anyone from the team. Rumors always exist, there was nothing official.”
After Mathias Lessort departed, the black-and-white team struggled to find a suitable replacement for the dominant center position. Comparing the abilities and capacities of Motley and Lessort, it seems that the type of physicality, athleticism, and ability to establish dominance in the paint on both ends of the court are exactly what Partizan lacks. Frank Kaminsky and Bruno Caboclo have not proven to be that, as we could see from the evidence provided.
