With Pascal Roller, Robert Maras, Stipo Papic and now Robert Garrett, the OPEL SKYLINERS have four German National-Players on their Roster. Mario Kasun from Croatia and Jukka Matinen from Finland are National-Players as well.
Robert Garrett wants to shut down all critics!
"I really like the concept of the OPEL SKYLINERS. They want to build a strong Team with young German Talents and this is a great Opportunity for me. I think I will fit in here. The ULEB-CUP also will help me to further develop my Skills. But there is something else on my mind. I could pass on my experience by working with young talented players in Frankfurt."
"I've already worked with Headcoach Gordon Herbert in Wurzburg and know most of the Players here. I like the way Herbert is teaching Basketball because it's exactly the game I want to play. I'm looking for a fresh new Start and want to shut down all the People who critizised my game last year. I can't wait to dress up for the OPEL SKYLINERS, as I'm really motivated!"
OPEL SKYLINERS Manager Gunnar Wobke
"Robert Garrett fits well in our Team and Concept. He's a very quick and athletic Player. He already played on a high Level for two Years. Top-Teams from all over Europe had the Intention to sign him and we tried to get him here before. People put to much pressure on him in the Past and he was not able to handle it. That's not his fault tough, as he is still young and in a developing Stage. We are looking forward to give him the time he needs, here in Frankfurt. He is very interested in working with Kids and wants to grow with us."
OPEL SKYLINERS Headcoach Gordon Herbert
"I'm very happy that we were able to sign Robert Garrett. I already worked with him and know that he is a highly motivated Player. He is another piece of the Pie and fits well in our Plans. I'm really happy that I can coach him again."
