In Madrid, Arturas Gudaitis set the team record for most two-point field goals with no missed in a game: 9. He scored 20 points, blocked 4 shots and had an index rating of 28, all of them personal best. Samardo Samuels is the Olimpia’s record holder for most two-point shots made with 14 but he missed a couple. Pape Sow and Malik Hairston once scored 11 two-pointers but both of them with misses included. But nobody went 9 for 9 from the field until Gudaitis. Now after going head to head against Gustavo Ayon, the second best center in terms of rating, he will go after the first, Kevin Seraphin from Barcelona on Thursdy night in Milan. It will be another challenge for the rising Olimpia star against an established one.

Kevin Seraphin is the center that Barcelona stole from the NBA (423 appearances, he was drafted with the number 17, and played for Washington, New York and Indiana), who was very quick at imposing his power, his will, even making the Ante Tomic slow start irrelevant.
