Brad Greenberg, Kosovo's selector:
"So far, we've had three training sessions and I'm happy with the work that basketball players have done. It's great that we all have here and especially that we now have Shawn Jones and Erjon Kastrati that came back from the injury.
We are excited, this is a good chance to play in Poland, and we have heard that the atmosphere here is very good. Also Poland has a very strong team, currently is the 28th in the world rankings, but I believe our boys will do their best.
Dardan is in good shape, Lisa also, with their teams in the Czech Republic, respectively Lithuania are in the middle of the editions. Also Shawn is doing well with his club Dinamo Sassari in Italy.
This team composition will play for the first time together, Shawn has never played so far with Erjon and I have never had the chance to have him available. We have a lot of work to do, but we hope to play better on February 23rd against Poland and on 26th against Lithuania. "
