In the post-game press conference of the victory over Gran Canaria (93-64), Barcelona head coach Svetislav Pesic referred to the performance of Rolands Smits.

“He lives in the Palau. I’ve asked him if he has a girlfriend and he answered: “Yes, yes, I have a girlfriend”. I explained to him that if he continues to train this way, all day and every day, it’s quite possible he will lose his girlfriend.

Basketball is basketball. He’s very ambitious and trains consistently. I’m very happy with his effort. He is a very important player for Barcelona.”

Smits has been averaging 3.1 points and 1.3 rebounds per game in the EuroLeague this season as well as 4.5 points and 2.6 boards in the ACB.
