Robert Skibniewski has played in the last two EuroBasket Final Rounds but only managed a handful of minutes coming off the bench. It could be that for a third successive major tournament, he finds himself in a similar role, although last season he really did produce some of the best displays of his career. He was named MVP of the Polish Cup Final Four and as usual finished the season with some impressive numbers and as one of the assists leaders in the Polish League. In addition to his passing ability and court vision, Skibniewski also has a strong character and that is important for a team that will have to be mentally prepared for a real fight.
