aving made a successful return to the
Euroleague last year, Aris TT Bank and
its one-of-a-kind fans look forward in
2007-08 to taking another step together on the
road to greatness. Last season, the club's first in
the Euroleague in more than a decade, saw the
famed Alexandreio Melathron arena in Thessaloniki rock as few sports venues on earth can as
Aris challenged the continent's best teams all
the way through the Top 16. This season Aris
presents several new faces, starting with head
coach Gordon Herbert, who will lead his third
Euroleague club. Herbert will have at his disposal last season's stars, Terrel Castle and Jeremiah Massey, while a band of newcomers mixes the experience of big men Hanno Mottola
and Lazaros Agadakos with the promise of talents like Michalis Tsairelis, Bracey Wright and
Reyshawn Terry. How far this tasty mix can
reach is a challenge for which Herbert knows
he'll have the full backing from legions of fans
dressed in yellow and never in their seats.
The veteran Castle, entering his fourth season
with Aris, will run the show from the backcourt. Athletic, smart and steady, Castle is a
good shooter who will have plenty of targets to
pass the ball to. Wright arrives for his European
debut and brings with him unlimited shooting
range. Sharpshooter Simonas Serapinas is back
looking for a breakthrough season, his second in
Thessaloniki. Another marksman, veteran Savvas Iliadis, adjusted well to the Euroleague last
season and will look to raise his level even more
now. Combo guard Spyros Panteliadis can provide a spark off the bench with his defense and
ballhandling. His action-oriented style should
complement the battery of shooters around
him. Another veteran playmaker, former Euroleague champ Giorgios Kalaitzis, provides
even more experience, especially on the defen-
H
sive end, although he is also a dangerous spotup shooter.
Mark down Massey as the power player who
will anchor the frontcourt. Massey had one of
the best debut seasons ever in the Euroleague,
ranking second in overall performance rating
while proving to be both a rebounding and scoring force to be reckoned with. What’s more,
Massey’s power dunks always get the Aris
crowd involved in a way that often sways the
momentum of games. He'll team with the rookie
Terry, an all-around threat at small forward, to
give Aris an athletic inside-outside tandem. Another veteran, smooth-scoring Hanno Mottola,
brings instant offense near the basket, a valuable
commodity. His ability to do damage from the
corner or in the paint offers Aris the option of
forcing mismatches with defenders, too. Wiry
center Lazaros Agadakos is back in the Euroleague. He can be a menace on defense or
frustrate opposing big men with his fine midrange game. Perimeter player Dimitris Tsaldaris, who had some big games in the Top 16
last season, looks to take on even more responsibility now, while newcomers Michalis
Tsairelis and Gkay-Gaios Skordilis, two of the
top young talents in Greece, round out a roster
that otherwise tilts in favor of experience.
The reappearance of Aris, an iconic club that
reached three straight Final Fours between
1988 and 1990, gives hope of a new generation
of success in basketball-crazy Thessaloniki. Its
steady march forward this decade - from the FIBA Champions Cup winner in 2003 to ULEB
Cup finalist in 2006 to Top 16 qualifier last season - is warning enough for all opponents. This
team means business, and with arguably the
most influential crowd in world basketball behind it, Aris is ready to re-launch itself among
the Euroleague elite as soon as possible.

OLIMPIA MILANO
Foundation Year
1936
rmani Jeans Milano, the pride of Milan, Italy, returns to the Euroleague
after a one-year absence looking to
carve out its own niche and remain among the
best on the continent for years to come. To that
end, Milano has done plenty to make sure it's
ready, bringing in a first-time Euroleague head
coach in Zare Markovski and giving him nine
new players. Among those returning is guard
Massimo Bulleri, who could be the team
leader on the court, while veteran Dusan
Vukcevic could fill that role off the court. Major talents like Reece Gaines and Cheyne Gadson will be making their Euroleague debuts.
But the club’s choices for the 2007-08 Euroleague season are not just about winning today. Armani Jeans Milano has also invested in
what could be the team's backcourt of the future by signing teenage talents Pietro Aradori
and Stefano Gentile to multi-year deals. They
join one of the top teenage rising stars in the
world, swingman Danilo Gallinari. Together,
the team's mix of youth, experience and topflight talent could be the start of a new golden
era for basketball in Milan.
Bulleri is one of just two players returning
from last season, but he's certain to carry with
him the winning spirit from a side that finished second in the Italian League regular season. His leadership may be important, but just
as crucial will be his excellent three-point
shooting and court-vision. Those skills
should blend well with Gaines, a tall and athletic point guard and lock-down defender.
Gadson's scoring skills could make him one of
the surprises of the competition and could
turn the Milano guard trio into a real threat on
both ends of the floor. Meanwhile, Gallinari is
A
among the highest-rated youngsters in all of
Europe: his all-around skills could make him
an impact player this season despite his age.
Aradori, one of the top young guards in Italy,
has maturity beyond his years and a drive to
the basket to match. Stefano Gentile – the son
of former Euroleague champ Nando Gentile –
is a fast-developing ballhandler with the pedigree to become a star.
More newcomers include Travis Watson, who
has proven himself on Euroleague courts as a
power in the paint. He makes his presence felt
on the boards and with high-percentage
shooting. Center Casey Shaw, Milano's tallest
player, can be counted on for the fight and determination he brings to the floor. The athletic Ansu Sesay favors the three-point shot as
his weapon of choice. His size and jumping
ability not only makes it easy for him to shoot
over defenders, but also allows him to crash
the boards. Dusan Vukcevic is one of the most
experienced players in the competition, one
whose unlimited shooting range can crack
many defenses. Herve Toure is a gifted athlete
and a good shot-blocker whose impact is felt
most on the defensive end.
Olimpia Milano was one of the top basketball
franchises in Italy and Europe for decades,
and there is every reason to believe that such
success could happen again. By returning to
the Euroleague and assembling a promising
roster that can challenge the top teams of today, Milano has completed the first step.
What's left for Coach Markovski and Co. is to
jell the team's chemistry and to bring along
the stars of tomorrow in order to win games
today. If that happens, Milano will be in the
hunt for spots in the Top 16 and beyond.

t would hardly be the Euroleague without AXA
FC Barcelona, a classic club that returns this season, as always, with the goal of being a top candidate to win everything. Barcelona took the Euroleague title in 2003 and has made it to as many as
nine Final Fours since the competition switched to
that format in 1988, so it is safe to say that few teams
have its track record and experience. For 2007-08,
Barcelona has brought in a mix of experience and
young talent to complement top veterans like Denis
Marconato, Gianluca Basile and Jaka Lakovic, as
well as some of the best Spanish players, such as
Jordi Trias, Fran Vazquez and Roger Grimau. Passfirst playmaker Pepe Sanchez is ready to give a new
dimension to this team. Alex Acker will be the
team's x-factor once he recovers from injury, while
Michel Morandais arrived as his short-term replacement and hopes to show he, too, belongs for
the whole season. One of Barcelona’s most interesting signings is Ersan Ilyasova, who is ready to make
the transition from top prospect to one of the best
forwards in European basketball. As he goes, so
might Barcelona’s hopes of gate-crashing another
Final Four.
Barcelona needed a new playmaker and found one
in Sanchez, a natural-born leader with great court
vision and crunch-time soul. All his new fans know
that because it was Sanchez who buried the serieswinning triple that allowed Unicaja to advance to
the Final Four last season at the expense of
Barcelona. Since Sanchez is one of the world’s best
passers, Lakovic is expected to see more time as an
off-guard, where he feels comfortable. Due to his
deep range and explosiveness, Lakovic can be simply unstoppable at times. Acker is expected to be
back in December to provide intensity, rebounds
and driving skills from the wing. Morandais inked
a three-month contract but he hopes to persuade
I
head coach Dusko Ivanovic to keep him even
longer. His athleticism, soft touch and talent will be
very valuable while Acker is sidelined – and maybe
beyond. Streak shooter Basile is back to provide his
unlimited range and readiness to hit any shot coming off a screen, while Grimau offers his driving
skills and strong defense.
Small forward Ilyasova returns to European basketball as a more mature player, even when he lacks extensive experience. Fast, mobile and a deadly midrange shooter, Ilyasova joins Barcelona with the ambition to become a Euroleague superstar in the near
future. Barcelona kept its entire battery of big men,
whose familiarity with each other is a major plus.
Vazquez has a unique combination of size, mobility and athleticism and is one of the best shot-blockers around. He has improved his mid-range shots,
giving him another weapon to use on offense. Mario
Kasun hopes to bounce back from an injuryplagued season, and has the power, strength and determination to do so. Few centers have more experience and know-how than Marconato, whose midrange jumper and defensive rebounds are very valuable in this team. Jordi Trias is an intense power forward with great hands and quickness around the
basket. Trias rarely makes mistakes and has proven
the difference in plenty of Barcelona victories.
Barcelona has the complete package of experience,
size, ambition and skills to once again aim high in
the competition. Sanchez is ready to get everyone
involved, Vazquez and Kasun will be a deadly combo inside if they can avoid foul trouble, while
Ilyasova could give the team the extra boost it needs
to reach the Final Four. Coach Ivanovic is known
for his intensity and man-to-man defense, and he
has the perfect team to play his brand of basketball.
As always, Barcelona will step on court ready to
beat anyone, anytime.

BAMBERG - GERMANY
Official Club Name
FRANHEN 1st BAMBERG
BASKETBALLGESLLSCHAFTS
Foundation Year
1988
rose Baskets Bamberg has slowly but
surely become the new team to beat in
Germany in recent seasons while also
making a name for itself in Europe as well.
The club has won two of the last three German
League crowns and in between became the
first team from that country to reach the Euroleague Top 16. The coach who has navigated the rise, Dirk Bauermann, has readied this
season's team to be even better than before as
Brose Baskets aims to become one of the
strongest teams German basketball has ever
seen. Bauermann brings back a core of seven
players from last season's squad, including
captain Steffen Hamann. Among his cast of
newcomers are two players – Ademola Okulaja and Demond Greene – whom he has
coached on the German national team and
three others whose experience that could propel Brose Baskets to new heights this season.
Hamann is one of four guys with playmaking
experience in a deep backcourt. What makes
him stand out is his leadership abilities coupled with his outside shooting. Mark Dickel
brings excellent court vision and know-how
that has seen him succeed on three continents
during his career. Demond Greene is perhaps
the most athletic of the bunch and brings a reborn passion for the game after an ankle injury
forced him to miss much of last season.
Teenager Sajmen Hauer is the youngest point
guard on the squad, who will try to soak up
from the knowledge and experience of his
teammates. Robert Garrett is an efficient player on the wing, who provides scoring cover
B
and experience in a reserve role. Small forward Ivan Pavic rounds out the backcourt.
Australian center Luke Schenscher is the
biggest piece in the revamped frontline – in
more ways than one. At 2.16 meters, he has the
size to be a major impact player on both ends
of the floor and the moves to deal with players
smaller and quicker than him. Ademola Okulaja adds massive amounts of experience to the
frontcourt, as well as hustle, athleticism,
shooting and rebounding skills to complement
Schenscher. Small forward Predrag Suput will
play abroad for the first time, looking to use his
scoring ability and all-around skills to make
the whole team better. Chris Ensminger and
Darren Fenn are already a well-formed tandem
and their ability to play together will mean a
lot. Fenn is a solid scoring big man with a fine
touch, while Ensminger can bang, challenge
shots and grab rebounds. The young and
promising Tim Ohlbrecht will also get his first
taste of Euroleague basketball in a reserve role.
On paper, there is every reason to believe that
Coach Bauermann's side will make noise in
the Euroleague this season. In building a
deep and talented rotation, he has managed
to address every issue, from team chemistry
to the inside-outside and veteran-youth balances. Perhaps most important is the team's
depth, which means that Brose Baskets will
never rise or fall on one player. Just how far
this mix can go remains to be seen, but among
the things that are certain is that Brose Baskets plans to become a German dynasty and
Euroleague challenger for years to come.

ROANNE - FRANCE
Official Club Name
CHORALE ROANNE
BASKET
Foundation Year
1932
horale Roanne comes off a historical
season in which the team lifted both
the Semaine Des As and the French
League title, the one that allowed the club to
return to the Euroleague for the first time
since 1960. All of a sudden, Roanne is the
team to beat in France and hopes to give its
best in the Euroleague’s Group C against five
other reigning domestic champions. Chorale
managed to keep franchise player Marc Salyers, the heart and soul of his team, as well as
athletic big man Pape Badiane, who just came
back from EuroBasket 2007. A major addition
has to be top gun Brion Rush, who has already impressed everyone in preparation
games, as well as versatile forward Adam
Hess or athletic center Kendall Dartez. Head
coach Jean-Denys Choulet enters his eighth
consecutive season with Roanne, the team to
which he took from the French second division to win it all last year. Despite its 47-year
absence from the top competition. Roanne is
ready to beat the expectations.
Roanne needed a reliable scorer to rebuild its
backcourt and found one in Rush, an unstoppable one-on-one player due to his athleticism, quickness and talent. Rush has filled
the baskets everywhere he has played
throughout his short, promising career and
can actually become one of the most pleasant
surprises in the competition. Laurent Cazalon is back in Roanne to offer his defense and
driving skills, while Marc-Antoine Pellin
hopes to offer his court vision and incredible
passing skills. Despite his size - 1.67 meters Pellin can be unstoppable in the open court
and is ready to repeat as Roanne’s starting
point guard. His backup will be Pierric
C
Poupet, a pass-first point guard who faces the
biggest challenge of his career after a good
season with Orleans. Hess rounds an interesting backcourt due to his versatility, range
and rebounding skills. He is expected to see
time at both forwards spot. Smart and aggressive, Hess could be the x-factor in this team.
Chorale made a good effort to keep Salyers,
simply the best player in France last season.
Salyers is one of the most aggressive players
around, who uses his athleticism to rebound
well at both ends but who has improved his
range, defense and outside game. As always,
Salyers will provide endless energy and
quickness to lead his team. Badiane is an outstanding shot blocker and a good defensive
player with great timing to rebound at both
ends. He can take advantage of his size and
quickness on offense, but Badiane can change
games on defense. Dartez is a good one-onone defensive player and a team-oriented big
man who can complement Salyers really
well. William Soliman is set to come off the
bench to provide intensity, physical skills
and shooting range.
It has been too long since Roanne took part in
the Euroleague, but now it is the team’s turn
to represent French basketball in the best way
possible. Basketball has never been so popular in Roanne, and even when the challenge
seems to be huge, Coach Choulet knows that
his team’s chances depend on taking one
game at the time and be able to stay strong at
home. If Rush confirms his scoring power at
the highest European level and Salyers stays
as one of the most hard-to-guard forwards
around, Roanne can become a surprise team
in the 2007-08 Euroleague season.

Cibona Zagreb
ZAGREB - CROATIA
Official Club Name
KK CIBONA
Foundation Year
1946
ibona Zagreb fell victim to some late
drama last season as it missed the
Top 16 on a tiebreaker. That didn't sit
well with the Croatian champion, so this season it has re-tooled and plans to march into
the Top 16 and perhaps beyond. Cibona
brought in a new coach in former player
Josip Vrankovic, who knows what it takes to
succeed at this level. Additionally, the squad
is bigger and deeper, with seven core players
from last season and four key newcomers
hungry to make an impact. The new starting
backcourt of rookie playmaker Tre Kelley
and veteran scorer Larry Ayuso will look to
feed off of the low-post presence that Sam
Hoskin brings, giving the club multiple scoring options. That's before even mentioning
swingmen Chris Warren and Goran Vrbanc,
who can threaten to drop triples all day long
from the perimeter. If all comes together the
way Vrankovic has planed, the Croatian capital will witness some great basketball as Cibona's storied franchise once again challenges for the top spots in the Euroleague.
Kelley brings with him plenty of court savvy
for a rookie, which makes him an ideal candidate to lead the Cibona attack. A pass-first
point guard, he will burn opponents from
outside if left open. Ayuso is a world-class
scorer, who can get his points off the dribble
or from downtown. Warren complements the
two of them with his outstanding spot-up
shooting and his ability and confidence on
the defensive side to shut down the opponent's toughest scorers. Vrbanc's athletic
frame and solid shot should earn him plenty
of minutes off the bench, while Vedran Morovic will spell Kelley at the point. Marijan
C
Mance is another deadly shooter, whose vast
experience at this level is invaluable for this
team. Not to be overlooked is teenage sensation Filip Kruslin, who could carve a role out
for himself when his shot is falling.
Hoskin anchors the frontcourt, from where
he can score in the paint and gobble up rebounds, both essential skills in building a
winner. Levour Warren - Cibona This is his
first time taking on a lead role at this level
and Hoskin will relish the challenge to prove
himself as a low-post stud. Luksa Andric
continues to develop as a serviceable center,
especially with his deft shooting from midrange. Forwards Barisa Krasic and Marin
Rozic return to bolster the bench. Krasic is a
shooter, who can use his size to take the
shots he wants, while Rozic plays big for his
size, but gets what he wants through sheer
determination. Power forward Vedran Vukusic will get his first look at Euroleague Basketball and will try to have an impact as an
all-around player, who can also bury shots
from outside.
The fate of Cibona's season could come right
down to its three-point shooting. With nearly every player on coach Vrankovic's roster
capable and confident from the perimeter,
the team could see days where it can beat
anyone with a three-point barrage and days
where the shots don't fall, Hoskin is doubleteamed in the paint and the club struggles to
produce points. What's certain is that the
Drazen Petrovic Center where the team plays
its home games is never an easy place for opponents to play at and that advantage could
be what propels Cibona back to the upper
echelon of the Euroleague competitors.

CSKA Moscow
MOSCOW - RUSSIA
Official Club Name
PBC CSKA MOSCOW
Foundation Year
1924
fter missing out on a historical Euroleague
repeat last season, Russian champion CSKA Moscow has upgraded its roster in an
effort to return to glory. The 2006 champs have
been to five straight Final Fours and have no intention of seeing that streak end. In addition to resigning Euroleague MVP Theo Papaloukas to once
again lead head coach Ettore Messina's squad, CSKA raided the team to which it lost the trophy last
season, snatching swingman Ramunas Siskauskas
from Panathinaikos in one of the summer's biggest
moves. Papaloukas is just the biggest name among
nine returnees from last season's squad, including
newly crowned European champions J.R. Holden
and Aleksey Savrasenko and All-Euroleague selections Trajan Langdon and Matjaz Smodis.
Meanwhile, athletic forward Marcus Goree and
rising guard Nikos Zisis also joined CSKA, giving
Messina all the tools to make a run another Euroleague crown next spring.
Papaloukas has secured a place for himself as one
of the best sixth men in European basketball history. The tall point guard generally starts the game
on the bench, analyzes what his team needs and
then comes in to change the game in CSKA's favor.
His running mate, Holden, is an ideal complement, a team-oriented scoring guard in a point
guard's body. Holden's game has continued to develop under Messina, as he has become one of the
best defensive guards in the business. Langdon
combines unlimited shooting range with game
smarts that make him a force at all times on both
ends of the floor. Siskauskas can also pass and
shoot with the best of them, a combination that
could be unstoppable with Langdon on the opposite wing. Zisis is a classic playmaker who thrives
on feeding others, although his excellent jump
shot challenges defenses, too. Veteran wing player
A
Zakhar Pashutin is like a coach on the floor whose
experience pays dividends in big games. Young,
tall Alexey Shved brings some scoring punch off
the bench as he hopes to learn from the stars
around him and become the next CSKA hero.
Smodis and Goree make up an interesting forward
tandem, as both feature the speed and shooting to
line up as small forwards, but the strength and
skills to play in the post. The potential mismatches at those spots are something that the entire
team will know how to exploit. The athletic Goree
is also a standout defender with great shot-blocking ability. Veteran center Savrasenko's size makes
him an asset on offense and defense. At 2.15 meters, he can score over anyone with his hook shots
and get in the way of his opponents at the other
end. David Andersen possesses great speed for his
size, which allows him to blow past bigger defenders, while his mid-range game is excellent.
Young Nikita Kurbanov earns more minutes from
season to season through his solid defensive efforts, but his famous offensive game from the junior level is sure to develop soon on the Euroleague stage. Two more young centers who'll
gain some top-level experience as they eagerly
await their chances in the future are Anatoly
Kashirov and Artem Zabelin.
The current CSKA dynasty is one of the best the
game has ever seen. With the injection of new
blood this season, Coach Messina is doing everything in his power to make sure it lasts as long as
possible. His team will once again feature a group
of guys who play hard and know their roles. All
of them excel both on offense and defense. CSKA
is one of the few teams that no longer views
reaching the Final Four as an accomplishment.
This team aims for nothing less than lifting the
2007-08 crown next May in Madrid.

Official Club Name
EFES PILSEN
SPORTS CLUB
Foundation Year
1976
fter years of being one of Euroleague
Basketball's elite teams, but always
coming up sort of cracking the Final
Four, Efes Pilsen will have a new look this season, headlined by a proven winner at the head
of the bench, David Blatt. Fresh off winning
the EuroBasket 2007 championship with Russia this summer, Blatt will be eager to continue
winning at the club level with the Turkish dynasty. To do so, he has brought in six new players to help run his usual style, which is based
on excellent defense, but also includes exciting attack-minded basketball. That manner of
play seems perfectly suited for newcomers
like Kenny Gregory and Andre Hutson as well
as key players from last season's squad like
Drew Nicholas and Ermal Kuqo. If Blatt can
bring this star-studded cast together, there's no
telling how far Efes Pilsen will go.
Nicholas, who played under Blatt when both
were at Benetton Treviso, leads the backcourt.
A former Alphonso Ford Top Scorer Trophy
Winner, Nicholas has been a winner at every
level so far. His scary scoring ability coupled
with playmaking skills make him the focal
point of the offense. Rashad Wright steps up
to the Euroleague level for the first time, looking to complement Nicholas as a guard with a
mighty stroke from downtown plus the willingness and skill to spot the open man. Serkan
Erdogan is flat out one of the best shooters in
the world, impervious to the stress of big
games. Ender Arslan, returning to his home
club after a year away, is a true point guard
whose ambition on the court is to make those
around him better. Gregory could be the key to
the transition game. His outstanding athleti-
A
cism helps create turnovers and few players
can finish on the break quite like he can. Cenk
Akyol got a chance to play last season and
didn't disappoint. His scoring ability and long
frame could see take another step this season.
Wily veteran Mustafa Abi has been one of
Efes's most important players for years. His
defense and leadership will be invaluable to
the newcomers this season.
Power forward Andre Hutson and center
Loren Woods form a promising duo up front
for Efes. Together they will seek to control the
paint on both ends of the floor through blocking shots, grabbing rebounds and making highpercentage shots. Kuqo's power and skills in
the paint make him a threat whenever he has
the ball, as he can take it to the basket or pass
out to the open man. Kerem Gonlum is the
team's blue-collar guy, who makes his presence felt on the glass and with hard-nosed defense. Young Baris Hersek cut his teeth last
season, proving he knows how to use his size
and shot to be effective as a big small forward
or a speedy power forward. Bruising Bora Hun
Pacun rounds out the frontcourt.
A traditional Euroleague power, Efes Pilsen is
almost guaranteed to continue its tradition of
defensive excellence under Blatt. Always a
dangerous team, Efes plans to be so again this
season. This year's team plans to step to the
forefront by embracing its defense, while taking the attack to the next level. With a coach
known for building chemistry and getting his
team to function as a unit, Efes has the talent
and depth to shine on this stage and challenge for its first Euroleague Basketball Final
Four appearance.

ISTANBUL - TURKEY
Official Club Name
FENERBAHCE
ÜLKER
Foundation Year
1907
enerbahce Ulker missed the Top 16 last
season by just one game, but bounced
back in time to win the Turkish League
title at the end of the season. This year, new
coach Bodgan Tanjevic has arrived and with
him new energy and rising stars. They will all
add to last season's mix as Fenerbahce looks
to make an impact from the opening tip in
2007-08. The key returning figures are explosive guard Will Solomon, star sharpshooter
Kutluay and rebounding stud Mirsad Turkcan, who form the core upon which Tanjevic
will build. The frontline will be bolstered
with the addition of young big men Gasper
Vidmar and Emir Preldzic, who have the
added bonus of having been teammates last
season in their native Slovenia. Together,
Fenerbahce has all the parts needed to be a
factor on the big stage of the Euroleague again.
Solomon is Fenerbahce's on-floor leader. A
complete point guard, Solomon can be a factor as a playmaker or a scorer who is equally
proficient at shooting from outside or penetrating to the basket. His plays defense at the
highest level, too, which always inspires his
teammates to give their all. Damir Mrsic and
Kutluay are flat-out snipers who boast unlimited range, giving the squad opportunities for different looks and limiting the
chances of opposing defenses to doubleteam. Veteran Omer Onan brings added
scoring punch off the bench, while the
younger Hakan Demirel has a year of Euroleague experience under his belt to spell
Solomon or play alongside him as a twin
playmakers. Rounding out the Fenerbahce
backcourt is Can Maxim Mutaf, who will
F
gain experience this season before making
an impact.
Turkcan, the all-time rebounding leader in
Euroleague Basketball history, braces the
Fenerbahce frontline. His multi-faceted game
sees Turkcan not only control the paint, but go
outside where he has fine touch with his midrange jumper and three-point ball. Center Vidmar and forward Preldzic could be the difference-makers this season as they step up to the
highest levels of pro basketball. Vidmar has
all the makings of a classic low-post player,
with a variety of moves under the basket and
a soft touch to go with it. Preldzic combines
height with shooting ability, always a winning
combination. As his inside game develops, he
has all the skills to become a big-time player.
Semih Erden and Rasim Basak come off the
bench, providing toughness and depth. Erden
has improved every season and possesses the
size and ability to become a defensive intimidator in addition to a scorer, while Basak
brings a sweet shot and an athletic build.
All told, the pieces are in place for Fenerbahce
to have a strong campaign. The team has a
promising combination of hungry, developing
players to go with wily veterans. Similarly,
Tanjevic can put forth lineups in which nearly
every player is a perimeter threat, but even the
guards can help out on the glass. The most
pressure may be on the young duo of Vidmar
and Preldzic, who are the key newcomers, but
with such veterans around them, especially
Turkcan taking care of rebounds, they will have
more opportunity than pressure. If its young
players prove to be ready, Fenerbahce could be
one of this season's brightest surprises.

Igokea Partizan
Belgrade
BELGRADE - SERBIA
Official Club Name
KK PARTIZAN
Foundation Year
1945
classic Euroleague side, Partizan
Igokea Belgrade, has built its dynasty
by following the same simple formula. Partizan finds the best young players in its
area, allows them to develop and grow together in a competitive setting, and then adds a
few vets to round out a roster always capable
of upsetting the top teams on the continent.
That's exactly what head coach Dusko Vujosevic's side is doing again this season. No fewer than nine guys return from a team that
came within one victory of a spot in the Quarterfinal Playoffs. They are led by center Nikola Pekovic, forward Uros Tripkovic and
guards Dusan Kecman and Milenko Tepic.
Point guard Milt Palacio is one of the few
newcomers, along with forwards Cedomir
Vitkovac and Strahinja Milosevic. Vujosevic,
who begins his seventh straight season on the
bench at Partizan, will look to put all the
pieces together to form a talented and tough
unit that will challenge for victories.
Palacio's role on the team could be the most
important of any player. The veteran playmaker will need to adjust to Euroleague basketball, while providing the leadership needed to spur on his younger teammates. If Palacio can successfully make those adjustments,
his scoring and passing will be main parts of
the team's attack. Kecman and Tripkovic will
be expected to carry more of the scoring load
than in the past. Both are perimeter players
that rely often on their three-point shots, but
will be asked to do more as their roles grow
this season. Tepic, considered one of the top
guard prospects in Europe, will also get his
chance to fight for minutes at the wings. The
versatile 20-year-old, who possesses the size,
A
court-vision and shooting to fill any backcourt
position, is a luxury for any coach. Petar Bozic
is a valuable veteran with a trusty outside shot
and a willingness to give his all on defense.
At center, Pekovic is be among the betterknown players back from last season, when
he turned in some pretty solid performances
as a reserve. His low-post moves, high-percentage shooting and undying efforts after
each rebound make him an ideal player to
build a frontline around. Novica Velickovic is
a technically sound inside-outside threat
whose 2.05-meter frame allows him to shoot
freely from the outside, but also to challenge
for every rebound. Vitkovac and Milosevic arrive at Partizan to make their Euroleague debuts after strong seasons elsewhere in Serbia.
Vitkovac is more of a small forward who can
put points on the board in a hurry, while Milosevic is a power forward whose impact may
be best seen in the rebounding statistics. After
seeing only limited minutes last season, big
men Marko Djurkovic and Dejan Borovnjak
will get chances to prove themselves in the
paint this year.
With so many great players coming through
the ranks at Partizan over the years, it's impossible to know who will be the next star until they get their shot at the highest levels.
Coach Vujosevic encourages all players to rise
to the occasion despite their age and that creates a confidence that applies to the whole
team. There is no doubt that the pattern will
repeat itself this season, and when the young
guys form the new pecking order and Palacio
gets comfortable, Partizan will look to start
making its move as a candidate for the Top 16,
Quarterfinal Playoffs and beyond.

Le Mans Sarthe
Basket
LE MANS - FRANCE
Official Club Name
LE MANS SARTHE BASKET
Foundation Year
1938
e Mans Sarthe Basket employs a very
attractive style of basketball that saw it
come within one victory of a spot in
the Top 16 last year, its debut Euroleague
season. This season, the club's top young
players are a season older and more mature
and coach Vincent Collet added some more
rising stars to the core as Le Mans looks to
prove itself not only as a legitimate Euroleague team this season, but as a contender for years to come. Back are Nebojsa
Bogavac, one of the lone veterans on the
team, plus Yannick Bokolo and Nicolas Batum. New faces include Raviv Limonad, Luka Bogdanovic, Sam Clancy and Phil Ricci,
who together plan to make this season last a
little longer for the French powerhouse.
The development of returning playmaker
Bokolo could be key to Le Mans's progress
this season. His progress from the first half
of last season to the second was quite remarkable and another such jump will put
the team's offense in sure hands. Limonad is
a former ULEB Cup champ, whose athletic
play as a combo-guard will help out all those
around him. Batum is a diamond in the
rough. Though only 18, he has a set of skills
and maturity that should see him play more
and more minutes. How he handles himself
against the big boys at the Euroleague level
will be a determining factor in how strong
Le Mans winds up this season. Bogavac, the
most experienced player of the lot, brings
with him unlimited shooting range that can
change the momentum of any game in a moment. Small forward Jeremy Leloup and
L
teenage point guard Antoine Diot will look
to gain experience in their first seasons in
the Euroleague.
Power forward Clancy was one of Le Mans's
biggest off-season signings. He will be looked
upon to help lead the team on both sides of
the floor, with points and rebounds in the
paint on offense and shot-blocking ability that
makes him a defensive stalwart on the other
end. Ricci bringing similar skills to the floor
on defense, but will look to complement Clancy on offense, making opposing teams choose
how to match up with two physical forwards.
Their play could free up space for Bogdanovic, who despite his size is more of a
perimeter player. At 2.07 meters, he can shoot
over most defenders and makes his threes at
an alarmingly high rate. Last season's starting
center Alain Koffi is back, too, bringing with
him some hustle and defensive skills that the
team as a whole will benefit from.
Collet no doubt has his work cut out for him,
with so many new impact players arriving
and so many other young players to count
on. But the talent level and potential on this
squad is among the best on the continent. If
the coach and his staff are able to create the
proper chemistry among the players and develop the young stars in time, Le Mans could
become the surprise team of the season.
However, even if ultimately that's not the
case and Le Mans remains a work in
progress, it's exciting brand of hoops, electrifying young players and ability to come
together on any given night will always
make this team fun to watch.

VILNIUS - LITHUANIA
Official Club Name
LIETUVOS RYTAS
Foundation Year
1997
ne of the continent's fastest-rising powers, Lietuvos Rytas Vilnius is back in the
Euroleague for the second time and ready
to make as big a splash as it did two seasons ago in
its debut. L. Rytas brings with it much of the squad
that cruised through the ULEB Cup last season, only to fall short to Real Madrid in the final. Head
coach Alexander Trifunovic, who will be making
his Euroleague debut, can rely on the experience
of several players from last season who also
helped the club to such a successful Euroleague
campaign two years ago. That year, L. Rytas scored
some surprising road wins at some of the top
teams in the competition on the way to a thirdplace regular season finish. Among those veterans
back for a second shot are playmaker Roberts
Stelmahers, shooter Andrius Slezas and big man
Matt Nielsen. L. Rytas added some new faces for
this year's return, including well-established point
guard Hollis Price, all-around threat Chuck Eidson, solid big man Kenan Bajramovic and young
center Michailas Anisimovas, who will all look to
have an immediate impact. Together, Trifunovic's
men have every reason to believe that they can
once again take on the big boys and prove that the
Euroleague is where they belong.
Price will get his first chance to lead a team at the
top European level and has the shooting range and
dribble drive skills to score when needed. Stelmahers will help out in the playmaking department.
As a Euroleague veteran who has been successfully
running this team's attack for the past three seasons,
there is little that Stelmahers has not seen. Slezas is
L. Rytas's most senior player. As such, he knows his
role and is always there off the bench to step up and
hit a clutch triple or to commit a needed foul. Mindaugas Lukauskis is another steady bench performer, whose toughness and desire make him a
huge asset. Teenage guard Martynas Gecevicius
O
should get a chance to flaunt his scoring skills for
the first time in a limited role off the bench.
Nielsen anchors the L. Rytas frontcourt with his
court savvy, which not only makes him a tough
player, but makes the rest of his teammates better.
He can impact the game as a scorer, rebounder and
defender, making opposing coaches always weary
of his ability. For points the team look no further
than Eidson, whose laid-back style off the court is
the opposite of his on-court tenacity, which enables him to create – and make – shots from any
range. Eidson though is also a team player, a fact
his good friend and college teammate center Marijonas Petravicius can attest too. Their chemistry
should help the team as a whole come together
quickly. Petravicius and newcomer Anisimovas
are the team's tallest players and should produce
fine numbers in rotating shifts at center. Forward
Joao Paulo Batista was a pleasant surprise last season as a frontcourt force who makes his mid-range
shots at an excellent clip. Small forward Arturas
Jomantas enjoyed a breakout season last year as a
part-time starter and will look to continue to improve his game this year too.
Over the past three seasons, L. Rytas has won the
ULEB Cup, advanced to the Euroleague for the first
time, where it missed the Quarterfinal Playoffs by
one victory and then returned to the ULEB Cup
where it promptly raced to the title game. So despite
its return to elite competition, failure is not an option. Arguably the most important factor looking
ahead for the team is that it has kept so many players from previous seasons, making chemistry easier
to build with the new guys. Expectations are high in
Vilnius, where the spectacular Siemens Arena and
the club's die-hard fans give the team a huge advantage whenever it takes the floor. The target this season is clear as L. Rytas aims to reach new heights by
playing in the quarterfinals this season.

ROMA - ITALY
Official Club Name
PALLACANESTRO VIRTUS
Foundation Year
1960
fter a season full of ups and downs, Lottomatica Roma has changed half its roster looking to make a big splash on the
Euroleague this season. Last season, after winning its Euroleague opener, head coach Jasmin
Repesa's side dropped six of seven games. However a late rally saw Roma qualify for the Top 16
at the last possible moment, using a win and
waiting for other results afterwards on the night
of the regular-season finale. Gone from that team
is Euroleague legend Dejan Bodiroga, who retired after the season. Bodiroga's fingerprints can
be seen all over the new squad, however, since he
has become the club's new general manager. One
of his first moves was to hire experience in the
person of his former teammate and Euroleague
champion Gregor Fucka. Next came a string of
promising young talents: Erik Daniels, Allan Ray,
Christian Drejer and Roko-Leni Ukic. That foursome, together with the stars of last season, David
Hawkins, Jacopo Giachetti, Jon Stefansson, Erazem Lorbek and Alessandro Tonolli, could have
Roma getting focused quickly on success to
come.
Roma might live or die with its backcourt, where
a slew of top-class players with limited or no Euroleague experience need to prove themselves.
Ukic will get the chance to run the team at point
guard, where his speed, shot, passing and ballhandling skills could see him blossom into one
of the best playmakers on the continent. An array
of passers and shooters to choose from will help
make Ukic’s life easier. Ray is a scoring spark
who can hit from outside, score off the dribble or
hit the open man. Hawkins is a defensive whiz,
whose athleticism allows him to lift the crowd
with his open-court moves and dunks. Stefansson joined the club midway through lasts season,
providing the court-vision of a point guard and
the scoring of a shooting guard, excellent options
A
off the bench. Though only 24, Giachetti is one of
the club's veterans. His intense and gritty play
makes him a crowd favorite and a player who
can change games. Drejer, who can play both forward spots, is a classic point forward. His height,
shooting and passing skills not only make him
dangerous, but create opportunities for his teammates as well.
The experience of Fucka, back in the Euroleague
after a one-year hiatus, will be a crucial ingredient to Roma's success. His lanky build and long
arms make him an impact player on both ends of
the floor. Fucka will be counted on a lot early on,
since one of the club's marquee signings, power
forward Daniels, will miss the start of the season
with a wrist injury. When Daniels returns, his
powerful inside game and rebounding will create space for his frontcourt mates and open up
possibilities for perimeter players. Lorbek continues to rediscover the form that made him the
2005 Euroleague Rising Star award winner under
Repesa. His good fundamentals make him a
threat in the low post or from mid-range. Tonolli, with Roma since 1994, is a hard-nosed defender who will sacrifice his body to guard anyone. Young big man Simone Bagnoli will look to
gain experience in a reserve role in his first season with the club.
Repesa and Bodiroga worked together to construct a team with all the ingredients to be solid
Euroleague competitors. Although the squad is
otherwise young, the experience of Fucka and
Tonolli, as well having Repesa on the sidelines
and Bodiroga in the front office, should provide
the needed guidance for growth. With Repesa
preaching tough defense, plus the gifted passing
and scoring skills found throughout the rest of
the roster, Roma will look to be that much
stronger this season and to make a run at more
than just the Top 16.

TEL AVIV - ISRAEL
Official Club Name
MACCABI TEL AVIV
Foundation Year
1932
ollowing three straight appearances in
the Euroleague title game and two trophies, Maccabi Elite missed the Final
Four by one game last season. In a basketballhungry city like Tel Aviv, that doesn't go over
well. But the team plans to build on that experience and come out stronger this season. Maccabi still has four holdovers from its back-toback Euroleague winning sides, led by All-Euroleague center Nikola Vujcic and captain Derrick Sharp. Last season saw rookies Lior
Eliyahu and Will Bynum crack the starting five
and both should be even better this season.
Add to that experienced arrivals like David
Bluthenthal, Vonteego Cummings and Marcus
Fizer, plus former Maccabi legend Oded Kattash taking over on the sidelines, and you may
have the recipe for more yellow-and-blue success in 2008.
Toward the end of an inconsistent first season
with Maccabi, Bynum showed flashes of brilliance. With coaching from Kattash, who
knows plenty about guard play, Bynum’s superb first step and ability to penetrate and dish
or score should only be bolstered. Cummings
brings veteran leadership to the playmaking
role, which combined with the passing skills
of the rest of the team could make Maccabi
very dangerous. Tal Burstein is the ultimate
team player, one who will always find a way to
complement the rest of the backcourt, whether
by setting up outside, going to the rim or making the right pass. Dangerous streak scorer
Yotam Halperin looks ready for more responsibility, too. His outside shot and understanding of the game will add fuel to the Maccabi
fire. Sharp, one of the best three-point shooters
in Euroleague history, is the heart and soul of
F
the team. Despite his 36 years, Sharp is coming
off one of his best seasons. Regev Fanan adds
depth to the lineup.
Vujcic remains the only player to record a
triple-double in Euroleague history – he's done
it twice – which shows his versatility. Vujcic is
one of the competition's all-time leading scorers, he led the league in rebounding last season
and he could be its best passing big man ever.
The rest of the frontcourt will be eager to take
advantage of his skills, starting with the bullish Fizer, an athletic low-post presence. Fizer
will take some scoring and rebounding pressure off Vujcic: together they could become an
awesome duo. Two players who already know
how to feed off Vujcic are Eliyahu and David
Bluthenthal. Eliyahu made a living last season
off of cuts to the basket and dunks through
space created by Vujcic. Bluthenthal, an automatic shooter from any range, was a teammate
of Vujcic in his previous stint with Maccabi.
Terrence Morris will fill the role of defensive
enforcer with shot-blocking capabilities that
can change a game at any moment. Young Omri Casspi will look to gain experience and
bring passion off the bench.
This Maccabi squad could be the club’s deepest ever. With a new coach who won the Euroleague as a player and always emphasizes attacking basketball, there is every reason to expect to see a show on Thursday nights at Nokia
Arena. Vujcic remains the key to the attack,
but with an assortment of passers and shooter
around him, the offense could sing. Maccabi's
last trips to the Final Four came through attacking basketball and the fans will be pushing
to see the club back with the top teams in Europe once again next spring.

SIENA - ITALY
Official Club Name
MENS SANA BASKET S.P.A.
Foundation Year
1871
ontepaschi Siena returns to the Euroleague this season intent on establishing itself as a modern Italian and
European power. The reigning Italian champs
are one of only a handful of clubs to reach backto-back Final Fours this decade. By brining
back the key players from last season and supplementing them with some hungry newcomers, Montepaschi looks to leave its mark on the
Euroleague once more. The backcourt of Terrell
McIntyre, Rimantas Kaukenas and Romain
Sato returns ready to rock, as do smart power
forward Shaun Stonerook and defensive stopper Ben Eze. Siena fan favorite Bootsy Thornton, who helped the team to the 2004 Final
Four, returns to the team, veteran playmaker
Vlado Ilievski adds know-how to a deep backcourt, and Ksistof Lavrinovic brings size and
shooting to the frontline. With the chemistry of
last year's squad, the heart that Thornton
brings, the club's winning tradition and fans
that always push this team higher, Montepaschi
will be a force to be reckoned with this season.
McIntyre piloted Montepaschi last season
through his all-around abilities on offense and
tough ball-hawking defense, which resulted in
high assist- and steal-to-turnover ratios and
transition opportunities. Ilievski will also
spend time at point, where his court-vision
makes him a threat and his solid jump shot
keeps defenders on their toes. At the other
guard spot, the left-handed Thornton's character and leadership are almost as important to
the team as his point-producing skills and lockdown defense. Kaukenas is an all-around team
guy, perhaps best known for his perimeter
shooting, but also capable of making a difference with his ball-handling and defense. Sato is
M
one of Montepaschi's most athletic players. His
exploits in the open court and his outstanding
defense are just two reasons that he has become
a fan-favorite. Veteran Marco Carraretto is a gritty reserve, whose hustle and game smarts make
him a valuable reserve. Young guard Simone
Berti also brings some added insurance to the
perimeter.
Lavrinovic is the major addition up front.
Though this will be his first Euroleague experience, at 2.09 meters, he has all the skills needed
to dominate the paint on both ends of the floor
with scoring, rebounding, passing and shotblocking abilities. When Lavrinovic and Eze
team up together, Montepaschi will boast two
of the most intimidating big men in the competition. Aside from his impact on the defensive
end, Eze's athleticism leads the team's guards to
look for him inside, where his power slams can
change a game's momentum. Stonerook loves
to clean up on the glass, but his game also includes the ability to score from any range and
some great passing, skills that upgrade the
whole team when he's on the floor. Tomas Ress
is an ideal backup inside, as his combination of
height and a soft shooting touch are a healthy
change from the rest of the team's big men.
Montepaschi promises to be one of the Euroleague's better defensive teams this season,
but its athletic players and roster full of guys
who love to pass will bear fruits when it comes
to scoring as well. Head coach Simone Pianigiani, an assistant when the club previously
reached the Final Four, knows that preseason
predictions mean nothing, as his team will aim
to improve from game to game with the ultimate goal being to return the club contender
status by the end of the season.

PIRAEUS - GREECE
Official Club Name
OLYMPIACOS
PIRAEUS BC
Foundation Year
1925
o team was quite as active this off-season
as Olympiacos Piraeus, which completely rebuilt its roster to become one of
the deepest and most talented in Europe. After
getting stopped in the Quarterfinal Playoffs two
seasons in a row, Olympiacos is intent on taking
the next step this season. With three-time European champion Pini Gershon on the bench, leadership should not be a problem. Among the newcomers are proven talents, like former Euroleague scoring champ Lynn Greer, forward
Kostas Vasiliadis and centers Marc Jackson and
Jake Tsakalidis, as well as first-timers such as Milos Teodosic and Qyntel Woods. Also, forward
Giorgos Printezis returns after a year on loan.
With shooting star Arvydas Macijauskas back at
shooting guard and valuable swingman Panagiotis Vasilopoulos plugging away, the Reds have all
the talent needed to challenge for a trip to Madrid
and the coveted crown of champion.
Greer returns to the Euroleague boasting a combination of scoring and playmaking abilities that
make him the ideal man to lead the Reds’ attack.
Lining up next to Greer is Macijauskas, another
of the most automatic scorers around. After an
injury forced him to miss most of last season,
Macijauskas will be as hungry as ever. Teodosic
is a world-class rising star who at 20 has a court
demeanor way beyond his years. His calm playmaking ability and sweet jumper make him an
ideal candidate to spark the team off the bench.
Veteran point guard Rodney Blakney will give
the Reds a different look, bringing quickness and
defensive toughness along with his superior
perimeter and passing game. Manolis Papamakarios and Panagiotis Kafkis will get chances
to prove themselves early in the season after injuries have temporarily sidelined two important
wing players, Vasilopoulos and Renaldas
N
Seibutis. Papamakarios, the team captain, is an
all-around player who has earned the trust of his
coach and teammates through hard work and
consistent play. Kafkis is also a hard-working
role player who can score when needed.
The last-minute pick-up of Jackson put serious
size in the middle for the Reds. Jackson will have
to re-adjust to the European game, but promises
solid numbers rebounding almost as much as
scoring. Woods is an athletic forward whose
combination of speed and power will make him
tough to stop in the paint and a delight to watch
when he gets the ball in the open court. Vasiliadis is a big forward with a sweet shot, the type
of player who will help open things up for the
rest of the team’s corps of big men. Printezis is
back after a year elsewhere, ready to bring his
versatile inside-outside game to the next level.
Tsakalidis returns to Europe after many years
abroad. His big body will make him a target on offense and defense, where he can win games with
his low-post scoring skills and shot-blocking
prowess. Ioannis Bourousis is a monster on the
glass – his per-minute rebounding totals led the
league last season – with an ever-more-efficient
offensive game, while Loukas Mavrokefalidis
will look to improve on his consistency after
showing flashes of brilliance in the past.
Although bringing in so many new faces and bigtime players could present chemistry issues at
first glance, Gershon has proven in the past his
ability to mold players in a cohesive unit. Moreover, the makeup of his backcourt players and
the presence of the right amount of role players
could only help to speed up the process, at the
end of which Olympiacos could be challenging
for Euroleague glory. That, indeed, is the ultimate
goal, and the Reds will go at it with total confidence and focus.

uroleague champion Panathinaikos returns to the competition it conquered last
season with a reinforced roster and a singular goal: to repeat as the best. Legendary head
coach Zeljko Obradovic made sure to keep his
team hungry and focused by re-signing the core of
last season's squad while also adding more talent
and depth than ever before. The headline grabbers were three-time Euroleague champion
Sarunas Jasikevicius and Vassilis Spanoulis, who
join a backcourt that already features Final Four
MVP Dimitrios Diamantidis and scoring threats
Sani Becirovic and Milos Vujanic. Swingman
Kennedy Winston and big man Andrija Zizic also
signed up to play with Euroleague stars like
Fragiskos Alvertis, Mike Batiste and Dejan Tomasevic. Obradovic knows all about getting the best
players to check their egos at the door and about
bringing together a cohesive unit that can play
any style of basketball required. This season
should be no different as the Greens promise to
challenge for Euroleague glory once again.
The Panathinaikos backcourt features stars with
different styles who nonetheless all have teamoriented games. His superb shooting and court vision make Jasikevicius a great player, while his intensity, supreme confidence and leadership elevate him to the elite. Diamantidis is one of the best
defensive players in the world, as proven by him
winning the last three Euroleague Best Defender
awards. His playmaking, shooting and leadership
are not far behind, either. Spanoulis is the perfect
complement for both, an athletic combo-guard
who is equally deft at scoring the ball or creating
for others. Becirovic is one of Obradovic's most
trusted players, a coach's son whose understanding of how to play the game, when to shoot and
when to defer to others is an invaluable asset in
E
every situation. Nikos Hatzivrettas, a part-time
starter last season, his fifth with the Greens, provides always-solid defense and often-deadly
shooting. Injuries may have slowed Vujanic a bit,
but nothing can change his sweet shot or win-atall-costs attitude. The athletic Winston steps into
the Euroleague for the first time. On this particular team, his speed and explosiveness could result
in plenty of transition points.
Four-time Euroleague champ Alvertis is still the
soul of Panathinaikos as he starts his 18th season
with the club. His shooting is still deadly and his
ability to spur on his team in tough situations is
awe-inspiring. Batiste is the team’s frontcourt anchor. A gifted low-post scorer and rebounder,
this big man is both as talented and as reliable as
it gets. Former Euroleague MVP Tomasevic is a
savvy inside player, with the know-how to score
when the opportunity is there and to feed the
open man when it's not. Power forward Kostas
Tsartsaris is a fierce defender, who brings a threepoint shot that can surprise opponents. Demos
Dikoudis is a spirited competitor, whose insideoutside game promotes mismatches for the
Greens. Zizic is a tough rebounder and a player
willing to sacrifice his body to free up teammates. Stratos Perperoglou is a promising scorer,
but will still need to soak up some more experience before crashing the rotation at this club.
Despite last season's crown, the Greens are as intent as ever to etch the team's name into history
as one of the best clubs ever. With one of the
world’s top few coaches on the sidelines, not to
mention as talented and deep a roster as the Euroleague has ever seen, there is little doubt that
when it's money time, Panathinaikos will be one
of the last remaining teams eagerly looking to celebrate the end of this season in Madrid.

SPÓLKA AKCYJNA
Foundation Year
1995
he perennial Polish champions from
Prokom Trefl Sopot are back for a
fourth consecutive season in the Euroleague, and this time brings what is arguably its most talented roster ever. Despite
the fact that Prokom has never advanced past
the Euroleague Top 16, its current squad
boasts former Euroleague, Olympic and world
champions. Head coach Eugeniusz Kijewski
will have at his disposal seven new players,
while the team also brought back three key
contributors from last season. Together, they
form an experienced veteran unit that knows
what it takes to win. The centerpiece could be
shooting star Milan Gurovic, a former world
and European champion who was the ULEB
Cup MVP last season after setting that competition's single-season scoring record. Together
with Thomas Van den Spiegel, who will anchor the defense from the paint, the athleticism of local favorite Filip Dylewicz and the
playmaking skills of Travis Best, Prokom has
all the pieces to make an historic run.
Prokom will go to battle with three point
guards, who will all bring different looks to
the team. Best is the playmaking mastermind, who can find the open man or hit the
open jumper, as well as defend anyone. Veteran Christos Harissis brings experience and
leadership to the point guard position as he
begins his sixth Euroleague campaign, skills
which could be needed opposite Dajuan
Wagner, a lethal scorer in a point guard's
body, who is looking to resurrect a promising career after battling illness and having a
kidney removed. On the wing, Prokom
boasts three-point marksman Donatas Slani-
T
na, who should reap the benefits of having
three playmakers on the team as he sets up
for plenty of shots from downtown. Przemyslaw Zamojski adds extra depth in the
backcourt as a shooter coming of age who
can hit key shots when called upon.
In all likelihood, Gurovic will become the focus of the Prokom attack. A world-class scorer, his presence will simply make things easier for everyone around him. For toughness,
Prokom has Tomas Masiulis, a blue-collar
worker who will do whatever it takes to help
his teammates and camp out in the paint to
get rebounds. Also in the paint, Prokom will
turn to the duo of Van den Spiegel, a shotblocking expert, and Olympic champion
Ruben Wolkowysky, who can use his superb
shooting touch to make his presence felt. Filip Dylewicz is the best athlete of the bench:
his slams, three-pointers and blocks bring the
fans to their feet. Small forward Krzysztof
Roszyk also arrives from Polish League rival
Turow to try to take his game to the next level
in the Euroleague.
There is no doubt that Prokom will have a
new look and a new attitude this season. With
so many winners together on one squad, it is
clear that the club won't settle for anything
less than victory on every given night. The
first measuring stick that the club will look to
surpass will be success in the Top 16, where it
has already landed twice. Now, Prokom will
want to take the next step, earning a spot in
the Quarterfinal Playoffs for the first time
ever. If that can happen, Prokom could go on
to be this season's Cinderella story... and one
to keep an eye on from opening day.

MADRID - SPAIN
Official Club Name
REAL MADRID CF
Foundation Year
1931
eal Madrid comes off a historic season in
which the team not only lifted the Spanish League title again, but also managed
to win its first European trophy in 10 years, the
ULEB Cup. Now, the architect of that special
season, Joan Plaza, makes his Euroleague debut
as head coach. Real Madrid opted to keep most
of the players that led the team to its best season
in awhile, starting with star guard Louis Bullock
and ULEB Cup Final MVP Charles Smith. They
are ready to lead again, along with the club's
biggest off-season addition, All-Euroleague second-team selection Lazaros Papadopoulos, one
of the most productive centers in Europe. Do-itall swingman Michalis Pelekanos has also arrived to round out a solid team. Kerem Tunceri
and Raul Lopez will keep sharing the point
guard duties, while Felipe Reyes, Blagota
Sekulic, Venson Hamilton and Axel Hervelle
make up a versatile and talented frontcourt.
With Alex Mumbru at small forward and Sergio
Llull ready to get some opportunities, Madrid
has team chemistry as one of its biggest
strengths. The winningest team in Euroleague
history is back, and the Final Four takes place in
Madrid this season. One of the moves that made
Madrid stronger last season was moving Bullock
to the off-guard spot, where he can make the
most of his unbelievable offensive skills. His
limitless range, one-on-one skills, quick release
and court vision turn him into a nightmare for
any opponent. He found his perfect complement
in Smith, who was the 2005 winner of the Euroleague's Alphonso Ford Trophy as top scorer
in the competition. A born scorer and a threepoint specialist, Smith is always ready to deliver
in crunch time. Tunceri is an old-school point
guard with determination and poise, especially
R
in the clutch, while Lopez is a creative playmaker
with team-leading know-how who has improved
his defense in recent years. Pelekanos is a steals
specialist and an intense player at both wings
who can also play an interesting role on offense.
Mumbru went from three-point threat to allaround offensive player and a dangerous rebounder at small forward.
Madrid has one of the deepest frontcourts anywhere. Papadopoulos is a pure low-post player
with an array of hook shots like few other players.
He should be a dominant force inside. A force of
nature, Reyes never gives up and seems to improve every season, adding a very effective midrange shot to complement his impressive rebounding skills. Sekulic will come off the bench
to offer strength and size. Meanwhile, Hervelle is
the ultimate team player, a power forward with
unlimited shooting range and the type of intensity needed to become a Euroleague superstar. After an injury-plagued season, Hamilton hopes to
be back on court fulltime again to provide defense, rebounds and his trademark blocked shots.
With so much talent, Madrid can always find a
frontcourt option to beat any opponent.
Madrid’s last Euroleague title came in 1995 and
this season seems like a special chance for the
team to try again, since its home city hosts the Final Four. Few teams are more versatile and talented, but Madrid has opted for a fun-to-watch,
run-and-gun game since Plaza was promoted to
head coach. If the team keeps the same attitude as
last season - fearing no opponent, respecting all of
them and working hard to beat every single one Madrid will have no limits this season. Team
chemistry and the addition of Papadopoulos are
enough to make all Madrid fans dream about even
bigger goals in the near future.

Tau Cerámica
VITORIA-GASTEIZ - SPAIN
Official Club Name
TAU CERÁMICA
Foundation Year
1959
lthough it has reached each of the last
three Euroleague Final Fours, that is
not enough for always-ambitious Tau
Ceramica, the small-city club with major-market basketball. This season, Tau has put together a deep, rock-solid roster with the only
goal of lifting the ultimate club title in Madrid
next spring. Tau undergoes a huge renovation,
as all-time Euroleague top scorer Luis Scola
left the team, but there is no such thing as transition years for this club. Tau landed a wellknown coach in Neven Spahija and moved
fast in the off-season market to bring in talented forward Simas Jasaitis, natural-born scorer
Pete Mickeal, athletic big man James Singleton
or low-post threat Will McDonald. Moreover,
players like pass-first playmaker Pablo Prigioni, do-everything point guard Zoran
Planinic, aggressive swingman Sergi Vidal,
Alphonso Ford Top Scorer Trophy winner Igor Rakocevic or potential superstar Tiago
Splitter are also around, proving that Tau may
well have one of its deepest rosters ever.
Few teams in the entire competition can count
on two point guards so reliable and complementary as Prigioni and Planinic. Prigioni
made it to the All-Euroleague second team in
each of the last two seasons due to his court
sense, intelligence and toughness. He is also an
outstanding defender and a steal specialist like
few others in the competition. On the other
hand, Planinic is a tall playmaker full of creativity and unstoppable in one-on-one situations due to his quick release and driving skills.
Jasaitis is a good shooter who has played for
Spahija in each of the last three seasons in as
many Euroleague teams. He is set to complement Rakocevic, a natural-born scorer who al-
A
ways gives his best at the off-guard spot. His determination and range is beyond question. Vidal offers intensity and defense off the Tau
bench in his eighth season with the club while
Mickeal is a great scorer and rebounder, virtually unstoppable in open-court situations. Tau
needed a player to replace Scola, so it found
two. Unfortunately, rebounding ace Singleton,
who was ready to impress everyone with his
timing and jumping skills, begins the season
with a long-term injury. Meanwhile, McDonald
already shined in the Spanish League and is
ready to take his effectiveness, mid-range
jumpers and rebounding skills to the Euroleague stage. Tiago Splitter has gained endless Euroleague experience and is ready to explode at center. Fast, mobile, very effective in
the paint and stronger than ever, Splitter
should step up and become one of the team
leaders. Mirza Teletovic will keep his role as
streak shooter and three-point specialist coming off the Tau bench, while Lucho Fernandez
is a last-minute addition at small forward who
will have to work very hard to gain playing
time in this team. Tau has always lost important players but found ways to not only stay
competitive, but to keep pushing itself among
the most elite clubs on the continent. There is
enough recent history in its favor to think that
Tau will battle for a Final Four spot again - and
maybe even more. It has a well-respected
coach, two top-quality small forwards in Jasaitis and Mickeal, two of the best point guards
around, Planinic and Prigioni, a top gun like
Rakocevic and an incredibly deep frontcourt
highlighted by Splitter, a superstar in the making. If there are any non-believers left, it’s time
for Tau to prove them wrong again.

Unicaja
MÁLAGA - SPAIN
Official Club Name
BALONCESTO
MÁLAGA S.A.D.
Foundation Year
1977
resh off its best Euroleague season yet,
Unicaja returns to the competition to keep
its name among the very best in European
basketball. Unicaja reached the Final Four last
season and has been active in the off-season market to add to its success by bringing in some of
the best players available. Marcus Haislip was
the Euroleague's top shot-blocker last season,
while Davor Kus comes off a career-best year and
hopes to do even better with his new team. Another major addition is Bojan Popovic, one of the
best young playmakers in Europe, who will share
the point guard duties with Carlos Cabezas. Boniface N'Dong and Daniel Santiago add depth to a
frontcourt that also features homegrown talent
German Gabriel, back with the team after several
seasons elsewhere. World champions Berni Rodriguez and Carlos Jimenez and swingman Jiri
Welsch round out a solid team, that also brings
back Sergio Scariolo, one of the most acclaimed
head coaches on the continent. Expect Unicaja to
not only stay competitive, but to also be one of
the teams to beat this season.
Unicaja needed a new point guard and found one
in Popovic. At age 24, he has already shown he is
one of the best defensive guards around. Intense,
smart and ambitious, Popovic hopes to use his
court sense and leadership to set the pace for
Unicaja all season. Cabezas continues as a guarantee of intensity, good on-the-ball defense and
athleticism. His longtime teammate Berni Rodriguez is coming off a career-best year, as he
completed the metamorphosis from defensive
stopper to all-around guard. He boasts unlimited
range, improved driving skills and leadership,
plus the ability to drain clutch shots. Kus is also
a leader, a great shooter who rarely misses free
throws in crunch time. His intensity and know-
F
how gives Unicaja versatility. Welsch hopes to
bounce back from an up-and-down season. Coordinated, talented and fast, Welsch will share time
at small forward with Jimenez, whose rebounding, silent leadership and defensive skills are second to none.
Unicaja counts on a versatile group of big men to
round out a deep, interesting roster. N'Dong arrived for the Spanish League playoffs last season
and impressed everyone with his mid-range accuracy, rebounding and shot-blocking. He
should provide intensity and power off the
bench, as Unicaja counts on Santiago as its starting center. Santiago has a unique combination of
size, post skills and strength, which allows Unicaja to run its offense through him. Left-handed
forward Gabriel, once a top European prospect,
is a very good fit due to his incredible footwork
and his soft touch, even from downtown. Haislip
is an unbelievable athlete with great timing and
jumping skills who shocked everyone with his
deep shooting-range last season. If he improves
his penetration skills, Haislip will be virtually
unstoppable.
Depth, experience and a well-respected coach
are enough reasons to believe that Unicaja will be
challenging each and every Euroleague top team
this season. Haislip adds size, quickness and an
all-around game to its offense, helping Santiago
to avoid double-teams. Kus, Rodriguez and
Cabezas are well-known clutch players, while
Jimenez is a do-it-all player who always improves his team in many ways. Add players like
Popovic, Welsch and N'Dong to the mix, as well
as thousands of die-hard fans, and it is safe to say
that Unicaja may well be back to the Final Four
this season with the right chemistry

uropean basketball's “little club that
could”, Union Olimpija Ljubljana, is
back for another season of using its underdog role to the best possible advantage
against Europe’s biggest teams. Despite hailing from the smallest country with a Euroleague representative, Olimpija has become
an attractive destination for young players to
grow. Recently, many of its formers stars have
decided to return to the club, too. This season
sees Marko Milic starting his third stint with
the club and Jasmin Hukic back for his second. Meanwhile guard Goran Dragic, one of
the top prospects his age in Europe, leads the
next generation of talented players, which also includes playmaker Jan Macnik and center
Mirza Begic. Scorer Saso Ozbolt is back from
injury and forward Miha Zupan is anxious to
make his debut, while newcomers Maurice
Bailey and Ronell Taylor round out the roster.
New coach Memi Becirovic brings a new look
to the sidelines, but he'll be sure to follow in
the footsteps of so many great coaches before
him to push Olimpija to reach its maximum
potential.
Bailey should be one of coach Becirovic's
most important offensive weapons. He is a reliable scorer, a deadly combo guard who can
complement Dragic's driving skills. Dragic
brings a youthful enthusiasm to the club, and
his speed makes him a joy to watch. Excellent
in transition, when Dragic is on the floor,
things will happen. Macnik will play a reserve playmaking role. Always one of the
smallest players on the floor, he makes up for
lack of size with speed and determination.
E
Ozbolt is a natural scorer, whose confidence
with his shot makes him a good choice with
the game on the line. Taylor is an excellent
athlete with great versatility and jumping
skills. He is a player that can impact the game
on both ends of the floor.
Milic is the team's true leader, on and off the
floor. His strength and athleticism allows him
to guard perimeter players and big men, and
his power slams are always a lift for his teammates and the home crowd. Hukic embraces
the definition of all-around player. A savvy
veteran, his shooting and passing skills make
him tricky to guard and his experience helps
him make an impact on defense. Doncic brings
unlimited range to help free up the court for
the rest of the team. Zupan, perhaps the best
deaf basketball player in the world, is hungry
to prove himself at this level. An athletic big
man, he can help his team with his solid threepoint shooting or by banging and grabbing rebounds in the paint. Begic is the tallest player
on a Euroleague roster to start the season. At
2.20 meters, his size is a weapon in itself, however he also has a soft shooting touch and
quick feet, making him all the more dangerous.
Becirovic has an interesting blend of talent on
his hands at Olimpija this season. With a
group of quality veterans alongside them, the
younger players will have examples to follow
as the season goes on, which means Olimpija
can become a better team from game to game.
The first goal is challenging for a spot in the
Top 16, which will require knocking off some
bigger-name clubs. But if any team has upsets
as part of its DNA, it is Union Olimpija.

he "Black V" has competed its return to
the highest level of European basketball and this season Virtus VidiVici
Bologna will be out to show that it still belongs. Always one of the crown jewels of Italian and European basketball, Virtus came
roaring back to its elite status in recent years.
Now, new coach Stefano Pillastrini has been
handed the reins with the mission of making
a splash in the Euroleague and starting a new
golden era at the club. To that end, Pillastrini
has added six new players to last year's
squad, which reached the Italian League finals. The focus has been on bringing together
young and hungry talents, punctuated by veterans like Roberto Chiacig and Guilherme
Giovannoni. Among the newcomers, Will
Conroy, Delonte Holland, Dewarick Spencer
and Alan Anderson all may be called upon to
play key roles, despite making their Euroleague debuts. When they get the devoted
Virtus crowd behind them, however, they
will know what inspiration means.
Conroy is a natural on-floor leader who
thrives leading the break and stands out
with his lock-down defense. Spencer is one
of the best young scorers in Europe today
and could prove even more dangerous now
that defenses have to pay attention to his
teammates, too. Spencer can knock it down
from the perimeter, but isn't afraid to attack
the rim. Either way, he can flat-out fill the
basket. On the wing, Anderson brings multiple skills, which can see him use his
strength down low or his court vision to find
the open man. Holland is an athletic small
forward who has a talent for picking up
T
points by penetrating to the basket and
drawing fouls. Brett Blizzard returns as a
proven three-point ace who is near automatic when he launches from long distance,
while Fabio Di Bella is a valuable resource
as a backup point guard.
Chiacig is the most experienced player on
the team, having previously taken part in
five Euroleague campaigns and reached the
Final Four twice. His muscular presence
and rebounding ability will help set the tone
inside for Virtus. Young shot-blocker Andrea Crosariol will play a big defensive role
off the bench. Big man Luca Garri could also
get minutes in the frontcourt, where he can
use his finesse game and shooting range to
change games. Giovannoni brings the complete package to the team. His shooting,
passing and rebounding add up to a number
of ways he can help his team win. Veteran
forward Andrea Michelori is a blue-collar
player, who understands the game and will
have an important role at both ends of the
floor. Teenage prospect Matteo Da Ros will
look to gain experience this season in hopes
of becoming a better player in years to come.
Virtus has all the ingredients for a successful
return to the Euroleague this season. Its offensive firepower will make the team fun to
watch, while its hard-nosed big men will ensure that the team won't be pushed around.
Perhaps the biggest question surrounding
Virtus will be how it starts the season, because once the newcomers get their feet and
the team chemistry works itself out, this team
could develop into a surprise challenger this
year and a major force in the future.

Zalgiris Kaunas
KAUNAS - LITHUANIA
Official Club Name
VsI KAUNO “ZALGIRO”
REMEJAS
Foundation Year
1944
algiris Kaunas has taken is step back in
time this season, but not in ambition.
With some former stars back and a host
of quality veterans added to last season's squad,
the Lithuanian champion will look to make a
run at the crown it last lifted in 1999. One player from back then is veteran shot-blocker Eurelijus Zukauskas, who re-joined the club this
summer, as did restless small forward Dainius
Salenga. Another newcomer is shooting guard
Marcus Brown, who will look to regain the title
of the Euroleague's all-time leading scorer
when the season starts. Meanwhile, big man
Tanoka Beard remains on board, as does veteran DeJuan Collins and some stars of the next
generation, like guards Marko Popovic and the
promising Mantas Kalnietis. If the mesh of
styles and personalities pans out, Zalgiris will
be a challenger once again.
There is no question regarding the talent that
Zalgiris boasts on the perimeter, with three
proven Euroleague commodities and another
looking to now prove himself. How the chemistry of this mix flows could determine how
successful the team will be. Although Collins
may not be the biggest name on the squad, he
is surely among the most important. The point
guard has shown he can be a dangerous scorer at the highest levels in the past, and now he
gets to share the backcourt with an elite competitor, Brown. Popovic, hoping to put his injuries behind him, brings more athleticism
and great shooting-range to the equation. With
Kalnietis waiting in the wings, the Zalgiris
foursome could be quite fearsome this season.
Z
Young Arturas Milaknis, who rounds out the
backcourt, will look to gain experience as the
season goes along.
The ever-steady Beard returns to lead the team
in the paint, with arguably as much help as
ever before. At small forward, Salenga is back
home after two years elsewhere to join up with
last season's starter, Jonas Maciulis, to give the
team two excellent all-around players whose
uncanny abilities could be the glue on this
team. Power forward Paulius Jankunas is a
blue-collar worker who likes banging on both
ends of the floor. The incomparable Zukauskas
is not only a shot-blocking wiz, but as consummate a passer with the ball as few players his
size have ever been. Although injuries and age
may limit his minutes, Zukauskas can change
a game quickly when on the floor. Veteran power forward Goran Jurak is player whose experience could be vital in close games. Teenage forward Vilmantas Dilys will look for opportunities to get minutes and to launch his unblockable shots from outside, while Vaidotas
Peciukas adds even more depth.
Zalgiris has suffered from inconsistency in recent seasons, but lack of talent has certainly
never been the cause. This season the presence
of so many veterans makes the club a dangerous one to mess with. It’s true that four key
players are new to the team and may need time
to blend in. But if and when they click, this
cocktail of youth and experience, athletes and
shooters, scorers and defenders could bring
Zalgiris to new heights and restore the club's
proud name among the best on the continent.
