Latvian Player Žagar Attracts Euroleague Attention, Interest from Lithuanian and Spanish Clubs

23-year-old Žagar averaged 13.6 points and 6.0 assists in seven matches at the World Cup.

The Latvian national team, taking part in the World Cup for the first time, won five victories in seven games. On Saturday, they will have to meet Lithuania in the fight for the fifth place.

Lithuanian journalist Urbons shared the information he heard from his sources in the “Urbonos” podcast of the “BasketNews” news media.

“BC Wolves” from Vilnius aggressively attack Žagar, but after this game [ceturtdaļfināla pret Vāciju] I don’t know how it will turn out for them,” said the journalist.

“BC Wolves” took third place in the Lithuanian regular championship last season, but stopped in the quarter-finals in the “play-off” tournament.

In the next season, the “BC Wolves” team, which has ambitions to become the leading club in Lithuania, will make its debut in the ULEB Eurocup.

“He’s attracted a lot of attention. I’ve had a few conversations where Euroleague people see Euroleague material in him right now.”

“Sportacentrs.com” reports that two Spanish teams, which also play in the ULEB Euroleague, are interested in Žagar – Vitoria “Baskonia” and “Valencia”.

Last season’s winner of the FIBA ​​Champions League, the German team “Telekom Baskets” from Bonn, as well as the German Bundesliga champion “Ratiopharm” from Ulm would like to see Žagar in their team.
