The week in EuroCup signings

Teams in the BKT EuroCup were busy over the last week putting together their teams ahead of the 2023-24 season, and many of them signed rookie players or promising young talents. Here's a rundown of what took place between July 31 and August 6.

### Lietkabelis gets perimeter threat in Sirvydis

7bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys has signed Lithuanian sharpshooter and the 2018 ANGT Finals MVP [Deividas Sirvydis](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/lietkabelis-lands-sharpshooter-deividas-sirvydis/). The 23-year old sharpshooter spent last season in the G-League, splitting time between the Fort Wayne Mad Ants and the Wisconsin Herd in the G-League. In a total of 16 games, he averaged 10.4 points and 4.0 rebounds. Prior to that, he made 23 appearances over two half-seasons with the Detroit Pistons in the NBA. Sirvydis now returns to the EuroCup where he already had 35 appearances, having made his debut as an 18-year old with Rytas Vilnius. He will enter this season having made 40 of his 96 three-point attempts (41.7%) while averaging 5.7 points and 2.2 rebounds for his career, and gives Lietkabelis a dangerous perimeter threat.

### Aris inks American rookie duo

For its return to the competition, Aris Thessaloniki opted for an inexperienced but potentially dangerous duo who comes straight out of college basketball. First, the club added a presence in the paint with center [Manny Bates](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/aris-tabs-rookie-center-bates/), who played at Butler University in the 2022-23, and averaged 11.5 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.9 blocks in 25 appearances. Aris then doubled-down and added [Marcus Carr](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/aris-strengthens-backcourt-with-rookie-marcus-carr/) to its backcourt. This will also be the first professional season for Carr, a 24-years old who is as experienced as it can get for embarking on his first professional season, having spent five years playing college basketball. Last season at the University of Texas he posted 15.9 points, 4.1 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.6 steals. The two should provide Aris with loads of energy on the floor, and their youth could very well be the X-factor for the team in the upcoming campaign.

Coming off a debut in which he ranked fourth among Turkish Airlines EuroLeague shot-blockers, center Ben Lammers is looking to take ALBA Berlin higher in the 2021-22 season.

The 27-year old Lammers spent the last three seasons with ALBA Berlin, where he averaged 7.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.0 blocks over 81 EuroLeague appearances – including 53 as a starter. Lammers is fifth in the EuroLeague with 81 blocks over the last three seasons. He also won a pair of German League championships and one German Cup in his time in Berlin. In addition, Gran Canaria added [Roko Prkacin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/gran-canaria-adds-talent-with-roko-prkacin/) to its frontcourt mix. Prkacin has played with Basquet Girona last season, posting 6.5 points and 3.7 rebounds playing 17 minutes per game in the Spanish League. Prkacin grew up with Cibona Zagreb and has been one of the most sought after young players on the continent ever since earning MVP award for leading Croatia to a gold medal at the U16 European championship in 2018. Along with [John Shurna](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/gran-canaria-keeps-eurocup-finals-mvp-shurna/), [Pierre Pelos ](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/gran-canaria-signs-sharpshooter-pierre-pelos/)and [Ethan Happ](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/gran-canaria-adds-size-with-ethan-happ/), Gran Canaria looks set to have the deepest front line in the competition.

### An MVP and other more experienced options

A quartet of teams opted to strengthen their respective rosters with more experienced players who are eager to prove themselves in the EuroCup.

Paris Basketball went the familiar route, signing the sixth player who played for Telekom Baskets Bonn last season, this time none other than [T.J.

The other new arrival at Ulm is [Dakota Mathis](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/ulm-inks-sharpshooter-dakota-mathias/), a 28-year old sharpshooter in his second stint in Europe. Meanwhile, Dolomiti Energia Trento added 26-year old [Myles Stephens](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/trento-tabs-versatile-swingman-myles-stephens/), a versatile player coveted for his high basketball IQ, and also picked up a great rebounder, center [Derek Cooke](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/trento-adds-rebounding-ace-cooke/).

Joventut Badalona invested in its future signing a long-term deal with talented center Ruben Prey.

### Moving abroad

Sirvydis first went abroad to play in Israel for Hapoel Jerusalem in 2020 when the Israeli League season resumed following the COVID-19 pandemic. He also played for the club in the Basketball Champions League. Then, the Detroit Pistons, who had selected Sirvydis in the second round of the 2019 NBA Draft, signed him to a multi-year deal. Sirvydis played in 20 games for Detroit in the 2020-21 campaign and 3 the following season. He also played 21 games for Detroit's G-League affiliate, the Motor City Cruise.

Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv and Gal Sternberg are together again. The power forward, a product of the Hapoel youth system, has returned home for the coming season. Sternberg arrives from Elitzur Shomron with which he averaged 7.2 points and 4.7 rebounds last season in Israel's second division.

Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv and Gal Sternberg are together again. The power forward, a product of the Hapoel youth system, has returned home for the coming season. Sternberg (2.06 meters, 24 years old) arrives from Elitzur Shomron with which he averaged 7.2 points and 4.7 rebounds last season in Israel's second division. After making his professional debut with Hapoel during the 2017-18 season, he also played a stint with the club during 2019-20. The other clubs Sternberg has suited up for are Elitzur Netanya, Hapoel Ramat Gan/Givataim and Ironi Ra'anana.

"I remember Gal from Hapoel's basketball school and then throughout the years in the league," club chairman Rami Cohen said. "He is a charming boy and a talented player who went all the way through our youth department. In recent years Gal has continued to develop and improve in the national league and it is natural that the first integration His time in the Super League will be with Hapoel Tel Aviv."

Entering its third season in the BKT EuroCup, Veolia Towers Hamburg is hoping to make some noise in the upcoming campaign. Led by head coach Benka Barloschky, who was handed a new two-year contract this summer, Hamburg will hope to put its experience from the last two seasons to good use after replicating its eighthfinals finish in 2022-23. The German team has been placed in a tough-looking Group A and only six sides will advance to the playoffs, meaning that Coach Barloschky's charges will have to make every game count in the 2023-24 EuroCup season.

Entering its third season in the BKT EuroCup, [Veolia Towers Hamburg](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/teams/veolia-hamburg-towers/roster/ham/?season=2023-24) is hoping to make some noise in the upcoming campaign. Led by head coach Benka Barloschky, who was handed a new two-year contract this summer, Hamburg will hope to put its experience from the last two seasons to good use after replicating its eighthfinals finish in 2022-23. The German team has been placed in a tough-looking [Group A](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/2023-24-bkt-eurocup-group-a-at-a-glance/) and only six sides will advance to the playoffs, meaning that Coach Barloschky's charges will have to make every game count in the 2023-24 EuroCup season.

[Round 1: Prometey Slobozhanske vs. Veolia Towers Hamburg](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2023-24/prometey-slobozhanske-veolia-towers-hamburg/U2023/1/)

Hamburg's 2022-23 campaign came to an end at the hands of Prometey Slobozhanske in the eighthfinals, with the Ukrainian team – which plays its games in Latvia – making the most of its home-court advantage to win 87-79. Now, with both sides looking rather different compared to the last time they went head-to-head, Hamburg heads to Riga in Round 1 to try and inflict some early revenge against Prometey. Given that Hamburg went 2-7 on its travels in the regular season last year, grabbing a road win would be the perfect way to get the team's campaign up and running.

[Round 8: Veolia Towers Hamburg vs. Wolves Vilnius](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2023-24/veolia-towers-hamburg-wolves-vilnius/U2023/72/)

For the first time in EuroCup history, Hamburg will come up against Wolves Vilnius. The ambitious Lithuanian club has high hopes heading into its maiden EuroCup season, but for Hamburg, it will be important to not only get a victory but to remind the newcomers that they still have a few lessons to learn in the competition. Both Hamburg and Wolves will hope to be among the surprise teams vying for one of the six playoff spots, so a win in this game – just before the halfway point of the season – could be a perfect confidence booster.

[Round 14: Veolia Towers Hamburg vs. Joventut Badalona](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2023-24/veolia-towers-hamburg-joventut-badalona/U2023/133/)

Hamburg begins 2024 with the visit of Joventut Badalona to [edel-optics.de](http://edel-optics.de) Arena. This is the start of a three-game home stand for Hamburg, as the team plays host to Besiktas Istanbul and Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana in Rounds 15 and 16, respectively. Although Joventut will head to Germany feeling confident as one of the tournament's favorites, a shock win for Hamburg would be the ideal start ahead of a crucial period in the race to make the playoffs.
