Sylven Francisco Reveals Why He Turned Down Olympiacos

Sylven Francisco, referring to Olympiacos' interest in signing him last summer, stated that his decision to stay at Zalgiris was due to the presence of many guards on the Piraeus team. He believed it would be difficult to find the playing time he desired at Olympiacos. He emphasized that both Zalgiris and his agent had rejected Olympiacos' offer for the same reason. Francisco believes the timing was not right for his transfer.
