Player Profile
Alvertis was regarded for a long time as one of the best perimeter shooters in Europe. His shooting style, combined with his height, made him very hard to defend. His lack of athleticism did not allow him to show great regularity; nevertheless, he was never afraid to take clutch shots, and he was very often successful. He was also an above-average defender. He sometimes played at the power forward position in Panathinaikos, over the last 5 years of his career, due to his height and size, although his all-around skills were quite average.
Finally and above all, Alvertis was for Panathinaikos, a real team leader, both on and especially off the court, keeping his teammates focused on the team's success. Coach Želimir Obradović himself once said, "Alvertis is the best captain I ever had", paying tribute to the leadership skills of his star.
