Two of the best forwards in the 7DAYS EuroCup come head-to-head in Round 1, as Aaron White and his Buducnost VOLI Podgorica take on Seth Hinrichs and his Veolia Hamburg Towers in Round 1 of the regular season on Wednesday.
Marquee matchup: Buducnost's White vs. Hamburg's Hinrichs



New Buducnost signing White returns to the EuroCup for the first time since 2016-17, having spent the last five seasons playing in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague. Last year, he averaged 5.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 18 games for Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade. He is known for his versatility, especially on offense, without keeping the basketball in his hands too much. In this opening-round fixture, White will be determined to get off to a strong start and lay down a marker of what is to come this season.
Hinrichs, meanwhile, saw his importance at Hamburg grow as the season progressed last year, as he became a point-forward and did a bit of everything for the team. During the offseason he was rewarded with a two-year contract extension, making him just one of two players from last year's roster who will play the upcoming campaign with Hamburg. Hinrichs will be out to at least balance White’s production, but just as important, provide leadership to the EuroCup newcomers on Hamburg.
