Sometimes the solution to a problem is right before your eyes. You just have to see it. That's not exactly the case with Alec Peters and Olympiacos Piraeus. Still, if you look at the numbers, the change is impressive.
After the Reds lost Sasha Vezenkov in the summer, there was a lot of speculation about who could replace him and whether anyone was capable of producing anything close to Vezenkov's MVP season. Of course, Peters was the other shooting big man on the team's roster already, and everyone expected him to be better this season. With Vezenkov on board last season, Peters had a limited role, but that was bound to change.
Nonetheless, what is happening this season has surpassed the expectations of even the most optimistic Olympiacos fan.
Peters is not Vezenkov, but you can argue that he is the closest thing in the EuroLeague to his former teammate. He is certainly leaving his own mark in Piraeus.
