 Although PAO achieved significant wins over the other major Greek teams, they did not manage any notable distinctions.Over the next two years, Antonio Davis, who later made a great career in the NBA, replaced Jones, as the leader of the team.At this point in time, Panathinaikos had also acquired some of the most talented young Greek players (Fragiskos Alvertis, Nikos Oikonomou and Christos Myriounis), but that did not stop them from experiencing the worst period in the history of the club, as they finished 7th in the Greek League in 1991, and dropped to the 8th position in 1992, which left them outside of European-wide play for the first time since 1967.
