There is an interesting matchup in the Round 2 game between Umana Reyer Venice and Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse between point guards Jayson Granger and Hugo Benitez.
Marquee matchup: Reyer's Granger vs. Bourg's Benitez



Granger may come off the bench, but played almost 25 minutes in Round 1 against ratiopharm Ulm and tallied 8 points, 6 assists and 2 steals for a PIR of 12. Granger is in his first EuroCup season since 2011 and has played eight Turkish Airlines EuroLeague seasons with four different clubs. Though he can take shots off the dribble and attack the rim, Granger excels at finding the open teammate due to his great court vision. Strong, athletic and experienced, Granger needs to use his know-how against a younger opponent.

Benitez is an up-and-coming talent who already proved his value in the 2021-22 EuroCup when he averaged 6.1 points and 3.4 assists in 17 EuroCup games while getting more steals (24) than turnovers (17). His assist-to-turnover ratio (3.35) ranked fifth overall. Benitez is fast, creative and eager to change games with his on-the-ball defense. He didn't play well in Round 1, going for 2 points, 2 steals and a PIR of -2 in 15 minutes. Benitez has a chance to bounce back against a well-rounded playmaker in Round 2.
