Who will be Spain’s No. 1 point guard at the next World Cup? Hard to say. Holder of the position during the last Euro, Lorenzo Brown is not certain to take part in the competition which starts on August 25 in Asia.
” I’m not sure about participating in the World Cup this summer with the Spanish team. I plan to give it up now. I had a long season and I’m starting to suffer and weaken physically. Every step is like torture “, describes squarely the leader of Maccabi Tel Aviv, whose remarks are picked up by BasketNews.
In addition to the Israeli championship, the playmaker played just under forty games in the EuroLeague, until elimination in the quarter-finals against Monaco. In this context, Lorenzo Brown averaged more than 16 points and 5 assists in 31 minutes.
” We’ll see how things go this summer. “, Continues the 32-year-old player, born on American soil and whose Spanish naturalization had caused a lot of ink to flow last year. This did not prevent him from shining during the EuroBasket where he played a key role in obtaining the gold medal.
His potential return to the selection raises the question of his cohabitation with the team’s “historic” main leader, Ricky Rubio, who is also uncertain about his participation. Last April, Lorenzo Brown, however, assured that his possible association with the Cavs player would not pose a problem.
