Who's hot: Kyle Alexander, Hapoel

The 27-year-old big man [Kyle Alexander](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/kyle-alexander/011973/) has been a consistent, productive and, at times, dominant presence under the rims on both ends of the floor for Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv (5-2).

Ever since making his competition debut in Round 3, Hapoel center has been one of EuroCup's best rebounders.

Alexander averages 8.5 rebounds for the season, having pulled down at least 6 boards in each of his six appearances. Over the last five games, Alexander ranks fifth in the competition with 51 total boards, good for a 10.2 average.

Alexander has been a force under both rims. He ranks third in the EuroCup with 6.0 defensive rebounds per game, but he has also been giving Hapoel's offense second-chance opportunities with 2.5 offensive rebounds on average.

He has shined especially in the rebounding department in Rounds 4 and 5, when he first had 10 rebounds in a win at Veolia Towers Hamburg and then topped it with 13 to help beat London Lions a week later.

The 2023-24 BKT EuroCup Regular Season is reaching its halfway point this week, and one of the players who got hot over the recent weeks is Hapoel center Kyle Alexander.

In his first three appearances this season, Alexander averaged 5.7 points on 50.0% shooting. However, in the last three, he has started putting the ball in the basket, too.

Since Round 6, Alexander is averaging 14.0 points and has improved his tallies each week. He first scored 12 points against Paris Basketball in Round 6, followed by scoring 13 points vs. Prometey Slobozhanske in Round 7, before finishing with 17 points last week against Joventut Badalona.

What has been really impressive is that Alexander has done so on 69.6% two-point accuracy despite an increased volume of shots.

Only three EuroCup players have made more two-point shots than Alexander's  16-for-23 over the latest three-game span. In addition, has been perfect 10-of-10 from the free throw line, additionally proving how confident he has been feeling shooting the ball.

Alexander's scoring has helped Hapoel's offense keep humming at a historic rate. It's current 97.9-points average is at least 5 points better than any team in the competition history.

Hapoel and Alexander will have it tough to keep those numbers ticking over in Round 9, when they welcome the EuroLeague-best defense of Besiktas Emlak jet Istanbul (7-1), which allows just 72.5 points per contest.

As the 2023-24 BKT EuroCup Regular Season reaches its halfway, one of the hotter players in the recent weeks is Hapoel center Kyle Alexander.

Ulm vs. Bourg: Rising stars take the stage

Round 9 of the BKT EuroCup Regular Season bring an exciting showdown between two of the youngest and most fun-to-watch teams in the competition. [ratiopharm Ulm (6-2) welcomes Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse (6-2)](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2023-24/ratiopharm-ulm-mincidelice-jl-bourg-en-bresse/U2023/86/) in a battle for second place in Group B in which U-BT Cluj-Napoca (6-2) is also involved. Remember: Starting the season, the best two teams in each group qualify directly to the EuroCup Quarterfinals.

Bourg looks for its first victory against Ulm after four consecutive losses over the last two years. Last season, Ulm beat Bourg at home, 110-98, and on the road, 78-85.

A run-and-gun game is expected at Ratiopharm Arena. Both teams take a lot of three-point shots: [Ulm attempts 29.9 shots  from the arc per night](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/stats/key-stats-teams/?size=1000&misc=&seasonCode=U2023&category=FieldGoalsAttempted3&seasonMode=Single&sortDirection=descending&aggregate=perGame), trailing only Dolomiti Energia Trento (31.5), and Bourg takes over 25 three-point shots per night (25.3). [Ulm (39.3% 3FG) and Bourg (39.1% 3FG) rank fourth and fifth](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/stats/key-stats-teams/?size=1000&misc=&seasonCode=U2023&category=FieldGoals3Percent&seasonMode=Single&sortDirection=descending&aggregate=perGame), respectively, in three-point shooting percentage. Last season in Ulm, these teams combined for 62 three-point attempts.

There are many young players to follow in this game, which makes it even more attractive to basketball fans out there.

Kevin Kokila and Zaccharie Risacher are two of Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse's pillars this season.

Kokila, Risacher play key role in Bourg

### Ulm: Nunez, Williams are main pillars

For Ulm, [Juan Nunez](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/juan-nunez/010106/) has been outstanding lately and has quickly become one of the best point guards in the competition. At age 19, Nunez is showing great improvement all around, getting more active on defense and shooting the ball much better. He went from a respectable 36.1% three-point shooting percentage last season to 47.4% in this one, and has doubled his average to rank [third overall at 2.2 steals per night](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/stats/expanded/?size=25&viewType=traditional&seasonCode=U2023&statisticMode=perGame&seasonMode=Single&sortDirection=descending&statistic=steals).

Nunez missed a couple of games due to injury and has been particularly solid since his return, scoring in double digits in each of his last four showdowns. During that time, he has averaged 12.8 points on 66.7% shooting from downtown, 5.0 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 3.3 steals and a PIR of 20.3. [Nunez ranks fourth in assists this season at 6.2 per night](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/stats/expanded/?size=25&viewType=traditional&seasonCode=U2023&statisticMode=perGame&seasonMode=Single&sortDirection=descending&statistic=assistances) to go with 10.5 points and 4.0 rebounds.

At age 23, [Trevion Williams](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/trevion-lamon-williams-/012604/) is already Ulm's next top-class elite big man. Williams has posted four double-doubles in seven games and [leads the competition in rebounds at 10.9 per night](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/stats/expanded/?size=25&viewType=traditional&seasonCode=U2023&statisticMode=perGame&seasonMode=Single&sortDirection=descending&statistic=totalRebounds). He has been extremely effective inside (68.8% 2FG) and outside the arc (45.5% 3FG) while averaging 15.0 points, 3.6 assists and 1.6 steals. As such, [Williams is the EuroCup's PIR leader](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/stats/expanded/?size=1000&viewType=traditional&seasonCode=U2023&statisticMode=perGame&seasonMode=Single&sortDirection=descending&statistic=valuation) so far this season (23.6).

Trevion Williams and Juan Nunez are two of the best players in the BKT EuroCup this season.

Williams, Nunez: young strars in Ulm

### Bourg's young players step up

Bourg has its fair share of successful young players, starting by top-class prospect [Zaccharie Risacher](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/zaccharie-risacher/010718/), who is showing superstar potential at age 18. Risacher is averaging 13.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, 0.9 blocks and a PIR of 11.6, [ranking fifth overall in three-point shooting accuracy](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/stats/expanded/?size=1000&viewType=traditional&seasonCode=U2023&statisticMode=perGame&seasonMode=Single&sortDirection=descending&statistic=fieldGoals3Percent) (58.3%). His matchup against athletic forward [Karim Jallow](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/karim-jallow/005422/) should be one of this game's highlights.

Williams will not have it easy against 22-year-old center [Kevin Kokila](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/kevin-kokila/011837/), who has shown great improvement from last season. A great finisher around the rim due to his good hands and physicality, Kokila averages 7.2 points on 64.1% shooting, 5.6 rebounds and a PIR of 9.5 in 21 minutes per night. Last season, with half of his current playing time, Kokila averaged 3.2 points and 2.4 rebounds.

Unfortunately, [Hugo Benitez](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/hugo-benitez/010449/) is out with a broken foot and his matchup against Nunez will have to wait. At age 22, Benitez averages 9.8 points and 6.5 assists in 4 games. He had 26 assists and just 2 turnovers this season!

All these young talents are expected to take center stage on Wednesday night, in a game that has everything it takes to be a great showdown. Ulm and Bourg will be on the floor at Ratiopharm Arena on Wednesday at 19:30 CET.

ratiopharm Ulm v Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse (2023-11-29T18:30:00.000Z)

Despite letting a 20-point lead wither to 2, Slask held on to snap a record losing streak.

Slask bent but did not break in character victory

Slask Wroclaw would not have been blamed if it had caved in to the pressure of the home side Turk Telekom Ankara making a big comeback. But the Polish club responded in a strong fashion unexpected from a team on the BKT EuroCup’s worst-ever losing streak and grabbed the win. 

Slask watched a 20-point lead with 11 minutes left in the game get trimmed to 2 points with 5 minutes to go. But Jacek Winnicki’s team did not break and [grabbed a 71-80 win against the 2023 EuroCup runner-up](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2023-24/turk-telekom-ankara-slask-wroclaw/U2023/90/).

“I am very very happy with this win. We showed character. We played from the beginning to the end of the game,” said the Slask coach, whose team moved to 1-8 in Group B. “The most important thing for me as a coach and for us as a team is when the situation got tough and they cut the lead to 2 points with 5 minutes left we responded in a good tough way. We did not break.”

Slask came into the game without a victory this season and having lost 17 straight EuroCup games dating back to Round 9 from last season on December 21, 2022. The victory also ended the EuroCup all-time record of 26 consecutive road losses. Slask's last win away from home in the competition came on December 11, 2007.

Either Turk Telekom or Slask are to finally celebrate the end of a long losing run in a game that may be already destinated as a bid to avoid the wooden spoon in Group B.

Turk Telekom Ankara-Slask Wroclaw | Round 9 Highlights | 2023-24 BKT EuroCup

“It was a long time coming for this first win. We are going to enjoy this one,” said Jakub Niziol, who set a career-high with 25 points and was also on the Slask team that last won a game in the EuroCup. 

Slask played strong offense and solid defense and built a 40-60 lead late in the third quarter. Turk Telekom raced back into the game and the deficit was just 64-66 with the home fans in the game. 

But Winnicki was satisfied with how his team remained composed amid the pressure.

“We responded with patient offense. We created good shots and made those shots and after that, we started to control the game again,” said the coach. 

Hassani Gravett was key to that answer as the Slask guard drained 3 three-pointers and scored 12 of his 15 points in the final 5 minutes to make sure that Slask would come back home as a winner - for the first time in some time.

Umana Reyer Venice showed just how strong it can be with an arousing second quarter in a convincing 94-77 victory over Veolia Towers Hamburg. 

Marco Spissu: 'We can be a problem for every team'

Umana Reyer Venice showed just how strong it can be with an arousing second quarter in a convincing 94-77 victory over Veolia Towers Hamburg.

Reyer blew the game wide open with a 31-17 second quarter as the Italian side won its third game in the last four to move to 4-5 on the fringes of the playoff ranks in Group A.

“We deserved to win this game... I think we were the better team. We had a lot of good minutes but we also had a lot of mistakes,” said Reyer head coach Neven Spahija.

Reyer came into the game allowing the second-fewest offensive rebounds to its opponents. But Hamburg grabbed 12 offensive rebounds - 3.1 more than Reyer’s average.

“They were very aggressive and had 12 offensive rebounds. That is the only thing we did not control today. The other parts of the game we did well, we controlled them. And the end of the second quarter was spectacular,” the coach said.

Marco Spissu led the way against Hamburg

The game had been tight for the first 15 minutes and the home side led 36-33. Spahija’s men then unleashed a 17-0 run over the next 4:34 minutes to take control of the game with a 53-33 lead. The surge included 3 Reyer three-pointers and 4 forced Hamburg turnovers.

All five Reyer starters scored in double figures - paced by [Marco Spissu](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/marco-spissu/004381/)’s 22 points - and the team dished out 24 assists in shooting 63.9% on two-pointers and 40.9% on three-pointers.

“This was a team win. They were playing really tough defense. We built the gap in the second quarter and in the end, we just managed the game but also did well playing the game,” said Spissu, who also dished a career-high 9 assists and posted a season-best PIR of 32 in the game.

The point guard said this is how the team wants to play - and how it can achieve its goals.

"We just need to play together. If we play together like this, we can be a problem for every team. We need to keep going,” Spissu said.

The London Lions had plenty of reasons to be happy after racing past Wolves Vilnius 87-101 on Tuesday night in the Lithuanian capital including Sam Dekker's return from injury.

Sam Dekker's return was another bright spot for London

The London Lions had plenty of reasons to be happy after racing past Wolves Vilnius 87-101 on Tuesday night in the Lithuanian capital. Of course, chief among them was the win itself, which raised London’s record to 7-2 and guaranteed it at least a share of second place in Group A at the midway point of the regular season.

Then there was the way London played early in building a 35-55 halftime lead.

“We matched their physicality well tonight. We came out with a lot of energy,” said [Conor Morgan](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/conor-morgan/009680/), who shined with 22 points, 5 three-pointers made and a PIR of 36, which were all career bests.

With that energy, London turned defense into offense in the early going; the visitors collected 6 steals and forced 11 turnovers in the first 20 minutes and turned them into 20 points. In contrast, Wolves only netted 5 points from London's 6 first-half turnovers.

Sam Dekker made his return for London against Wolves

Wolves fought back in the second half, when they only committed 4 more turnovers. The hosts also outrebounded London 42-33, but that 20-points halftime difference was too much for Wolves to overcome.

The victory was a perfect time for London to welcome back its star forward [Sam Dekker](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/sam-dekker/009672/), who had not played since Round 4, over a month ago. Dekker featured for only 15:31 minutes, in which he contributed 9 points and 3 rebounds. Nevertheless, having him back is huge for the club as it looks to the second half of the regular season.

“He is extremely important \[to our team\],” London head coach Petar Bozic said after the game. “He is one of the leaders on our team. We are fortunate that we have more. It was really a pleasure seeing him back on the court.”

And with Dekker back in tow, London has good reason to be excited about whatever is coming next.  

The star forward scored 9 in his first appearance in over a month.

Umana Reyer Venice picked up an important victory in its fight to reach the playoffs by rolling past Hamburg Veolia Towers 94-77 at home. 

Reyer downs Hamburg, 94-77, for third win in four games 

Umana Reyer Venice picked up an important victory in its fight to reach the playoffs by rolling past Hamburg Veolia Towers 94-77 at home. Marco Spissu led the way with 22 points and 9 assists for Reyer, which won for the third time in the last four games for a 4-5 record in Group A. Amedeo Tessitori added 18 points and RayJon Tucker chipped in 12 points. Hamburg’s playoff hopes are fading fast after it dropped to 1-8 despite Aljami Durham scoring 17 points and Aleksander Dziewa 15.

### Hamburg starts strong

The game started with a good flow with both teams scoring. Mark Hughes’s fastbreak dunk made it 6-10 and youngster Leif Moeller hit a triple to put the guests up 8-13. Reyer reeled off 6 straight points with Spissu’s three-pointer giving the home side a 14-13 lead. Dziewa picked up 4 points at the other end and Hamburg led 18-20 but it was Reyer that was up 22-20 after 10 minutes.

### Reyer pulls away in second quarter

Moeller kept Hamburg close with 5 more points - including a second triple - for a 28-27 scoreline. Reyer scored 6 straight free throws in pushing the margin out to 36-30. Davide Casarin and Spissu added three-pointers and the hosts surged ahead 44-33. Jordan Parks added a triple and Reyer got out on the break and the lead swelled to 53-33 with a 17-0 run. The Italians went into the break ahead 53-37.

### Tessitori pushed lead to 20

Reyer was back up by 20 points, 59-39, after Tessitori drained back-to-back three-pointers. Hamburg tried to get back into the game but could not close within 17 points as the hosts had an answer for every score. Late in the quarter, Nico Brauner knocked down a three-pointer and Hamburg was down 74-60 with 10 minutes left in the game.

The visitors would not give up and 3 VJ King free throws and a Durham score got the score to 77-65. Tucker and Spissu responded with back-to-back three-pointers and the advantage was back to 20 points, 85-65, with less than 6 minutes to go. Durham hit a triple for the guests but Spissu answered with his 4th three-pointer of the game and ended any dreams of mounting a comeback.

The hosts blew the game open with 17-0 second-quarter run.

Jakub Niziol and Hassani Gravett produced star performances as Slask Wroclaw ended two long losing streaks in the BKT EuroCup with a 71-80 victory over Turk Telekom Ankara. 

Niziol, Gravett come up big as Slask ends two long streaks 

Jakub Niziol and Hassani Gravett produced star performances as Slask Wroclaw ended two long losing streaks in the BKT EuroCup with a 71-80 victory over Turk Telekom Ankara.

Niziol set a career high for the second straight game as he poured in 25 points and Gravett tallied 12 of his 15 points in the final 5 minutes as Slask won its first game of the season.

It snapped Slask’s 17-game EuroCup losing streak, dating back nearly an entire calendar year to December 21, 2022 with a 80-57 win over Dolomiti Energia Trento. The win also ended the EuroCup’s longest road losing streak in history, Slask having lost the last 26 games away from home dating back to December 11, 2007.

“It was a long time coming for this first win,” said Niziol, who tallied 21 points in Slask’s Round 8 loss to 7bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys. “We are going to enjoy this one.”

Jakub Niziol led the way against Turk Telekom

Niziol is one of four Slask players who were on the team when it won the last game in the EuroCup. He scored 9 points in that game last December. Daniel Golebiowski, Aleksander Wisniewski and Mikolaj Adamczak were the other three Slask players.

Slask won the game over Turk Telekom by shooting 64.0% on two-pointers and holding the hosts to just 41.1% on two-pointers and 18.2% on three-pointers - two areas the Turkish side had been struggling all season, averaging 48.2% and 32.0% coming into the gamer.

Slask survived Turk Telekom grabbing 26 offensive rebounds - just 1 shy of the EuroCup’s all-time record of 27. And the Polish side has been weak in that field as well, ranking 17th in opposing team’s offensive rebounds with 12.4 per game.

“Hopefully we can keep up the winning mentality after this first win. I know it’s not a lot, but it means a lot for us,” added Niziol.

Duo combined for half of Slask's points in the Turkish capital. 

Slask Wroclaw kept alive its faint hopes of reaching the EuroCup Playoffs by surprising Turk Telekom Ankara 71-80 on the road for its first victory of the season. 

Slask ends 17-game losing skid, surprises Turk Telekom 71-80

Slask Wroclaw kept alive its faint hopes of reaching the EuroCup Playoffs by surprising Turk Telekom Ankara 71-80 on the road for its first victory of the season. Jakub Niziol poured in a career-high 25 points to lead the Polish side, which improved to 1-8 in Group B and snapped a 17-game EuroCup losing streak. Slask’s last EuroCup win came in Round 9 of last season on December 21, 2022 - 80-57 over Dolomiti Energia Trento. Hassani Gravett added 15 points - 12 of them in the final 5 minutes - and Daniel Golebiowski chipped in 14 points for the winners.

The 2023 runner-up Turk Telekom has now lost seven straight games for a 1-8 record despite Markis McDuffie scoring 18 points with 9 rebounds and Steven Enoch adding 13 points and 11 rebounds. Turk Telekom grabbed 26 offensive rebounds - just one shy of the all-time EuroCup record.

### Slask takes charge with 0-10 run

Turk Telekom turned the ball over three times in the first 2 minutes and did not score until Enoch’s free throw after more than 4 minutes but Slask only led 0-5. The home side was able to stay close at 7-9 before Slask went on a 0-10 run over the final 3:35 minutes of the first quarter and led 7-19.

### Margin reaches 19 before Turk Telekom rallies

Turk Telekom called a timeout after Slask scored the first basket of the second quarter for a 7-21 cushion. Okben Ulubay’s three-pointer ended the 0-12 run but Niziol drained two three-pointers and the Slask advantage grew. Another Niziol triple pushed the margin to 16-35. Turk Telekom showed some life with a 6-0 run over 3 minutes to close within 22-35. Sparked by some energetic defense by Mehmet Yagur, the hosts trimmed the deficit to 29-39 at the break.

### Slask pulls away again

Ulubay’s basket to start the second half got the hosts within single figures but Niziol countered with a three-point play and Turk Telekom was in the foul limit after less than 4 minutes. Niziol added 4 more points and Golebiowski hit 2 three-pointers as the cushion grew to 20 points - 40–60. Turk Telekom responded with some defensive pressure to produce the next 8 points and trailed 48-61 after 30 minutes.

### Gravett helps Slask hold on

Niziol continued his superb game with a layup and three-pointer to make it 52-66 early in the final frame. McDuffie sparked Turk Telekom with his offensive rebounding and 6 points as the hosts surged within 64-66 with 5 minutes to play. Gravett countered with 3 big three-pointers and added 2 free throws for Slask to stop the run at 65-77 with just over 2 minutes left.

Jakub Niziol stars as Slask claims first win since 2022.
