Roster Rundown: Prometey Slobozhanske

Prometey Slobozhanske is set to make its 7DAYS EuroCup debut and in so doing will become the first Ukrainian team to play the competition since Budivelnik Kyiv during the 2013-14 season. The club brought in a bunch of well-rounded veterans to complement a core of experienced Ukrainian players, all led by head coach Ronen Ginzburg.

### BACKCOURT

Scoring machine Gian Clavell is expected to lead Prometey's backcourt. Clavell led the 2021-22 Ukrainian League in scoring with 26.4 points per game for Budivelnik and helped the team in many other ways (5.1 rpg., 4.6 apg.). He will be the team's first option on offense and he can surely make things happen with the ball in his hands. Issuf Sanon is also a good scorer who uses his quickness to attack the rim, giving Coach Ginzburg even more firepower. Denys Lukashov is a very experienced player who should play a key role on defense. He returns to the EuroCup for the first time since 2016. Swingman D.J. Stephens helps on the boards and the defensive end due to his timing and great ability to read passing lanes. Illya Sodorov can share the ball and pull the trigger from downtown, too.

### FRONTCOURT

Prometey is deep at the small forward position. Caleb Agada and D.J. Kennedy should see most of the playing time at this spot. Agada is an all-around player and a great athlete who rebounds well at both ends and finds open teammates in double-team situations. Kennedy has great one-on-one skills, which he uses to help the team in many ways. He has a feel for steals and is expected to play a key role on defense. Ivan Tkachenko provides nonstop energy off the bench. Dustin Hogue is the team's main option at power forward due to his post skills and team-oriented game. Oleksandr Lypovyy is back to offer versatility and deep shooting range from the '4' spot. Ondrej Balvin and Viacheslav Petrov should split minutes at center. Balvin is more experienced and gives Prometey a size advantage in the paint. Petrov can open the floor with his deep shots and he plays with high intensity in the paint.

### PLAYER TO WATCH

Ondrej Balvin enters his sixth EuroCup season and at age 30, he is right at the prime of his career. A 2.17-meter center, Balvin knows how to use his size in the paint with an array of post skills, highlighted by an effective jump hook. Throughout the years, Balvin has extended his shooting range to become a good mid-range scorer and he even shoots the occasional three-pointer. He is an outstanding rebounder, especially on the offensive end, using his wingspan and timing to get on the boards. Balvin is expected to play a stellar role for this team, which boasts effective ball circulation. Don't be surprised if he becomes one of the best centers in the 2022-23 EuroCup.

### OUTLOOK

Like any new team in the competition, Prometey's first goal should be advancing past the regular season. Even though Prometey will play all of its home games at Arena Riga in the Latvian capital, the club expects to have a strong fan base supporting it at its home games. Coach Ginzburg has a very versatile roster with a lot of scorers and strong rebounders. If Clavell and Balvin manage to play with consistency, Prometey has a very good chance to be highly competitive and with its great group of role players, reaching the playoffs could be in the cards, even if the road there may be complicated.

U-BT Cluj Napoca wrapped up the preseason for 7DAYS EuroCup teams by wrapping its hands around the Romanian Supercup trophy on Tuesday night with a 77-76 victory over CSO Voluntari. Patrick Richard led four double-digit scorers for Cluj with 13 points, to which he added 5 assists. Jordan Taylor came next with 13 points, while Stefan Bircevic and Leonardo Meindl tallied 11 each.

EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge: Dynamic new player price changes

[EuroCup Fantasy Challenge powered by Ardu Prime](https://eurocupfantasy.euroleaguebasketball.net/) has returned with a new algorithm that will make the credit prices of the players fluctuate more dynamically from game to game.

Many Fantasy Challenge managers had asked for such a change, and now it's here! The most important thing to keep in mind is this: whatever a player did before his most recent game – two rounds ago or further back – has no impact in his next price change.

Even when the formula is undisclosed, a player's price will now fluctuate depending on his last performance only.  If someone exceeds expectations in his next game, his credit value will rise. If he underperforms by getting a lower score than his average, his value will go down.

[By](http://down.By) keeping such calculations to a single round, player pricing will become very dynamic. A player with a low price who has a great game will see his value increase a lot. A player with a high price will see his value drop even after a mid-level performance.

[In](http://performance.In) another new feature, to make things easier to track, the game will highlight players who have been overperforming recently. There will be a flame icon on those who are overperforming, giving managers a fast way to see such "hot" opportunities on the players list.

EuroCup Fantasy Challenge powered by Ardu Prime tests your basketball knowledge like no other contest. The ability to read matchups and predict will play well in the next game is more important than ever.

EuroCup Fantasy Challenge: Dynamic new player price changes

Roster rundown: Paris Basket 

Paris Basket is an up-and-coming club in French basketball eager to make a name for itself on the continental stage this season, its first in the 7DAYS EuroCup. To that end, the club hired a promising young head coach in Will Weaver, who inherits two-thirds of his roster from last season.

### BACKCOURT

Paris Basket will keep opponents guessing because of its multitude of players who can play a multitude of positions. That statement explains who we’ll see in the backcourt where there are not any traditional old-school pass-first playmakers but instead several combo-guards who can score and create for others comfortably. Kyle Allman will surely have a major role after he led the team in scoring last season with 15.0 points per game and ranked second with 4.6 assists per game. He will be flanked by Tyrone Wallace, who likes to get to the basket. After playing in the NBA for four of the last five years, he comes to Europe for the first time with Paris. Amar Gegic also fits a similar mold as someone tall enough to play small forward who can also run the offense. Last season, at the age of 23, he was the top scorer (14.3 ppg.) and second in assists (3.6 apg.) for Cibona Zagreb in the Adriatic League. Juhann Begarin, 20, is more of a natural shooting guard who acquitted himself nicely last year in his first season in the top French League as he scored 11.1 points per game and was among the league leaders in steals. All signs point to him taking a step forward this season. Killian Malwaya is among the top prospects his age in Europe, however, as a 17-year-old he will mostly be soaking up experience with Paris this season.

### FRONTCOURT

Small forward Axel Toupane is one of the most experienced players on the team; he has played parts of three seasons in both the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague and the EuroCup. His do-it-all brand of basketball and leadership make Toupane one of the most important players on the Paris roster. Three-point marksman Denis Gauthier, who has been with Paris since its inception in 2018, figures to be one of the first players off the bench this season. The duo of power forward Dustin Sleva and center Ismael Kamagate will make Paris one of the best offensive rebounding teams in the competition, at least when they are both on the floor. Sleva, who has spent his entire professional career in Paris, was sixth in the French league in offensive rebounding last season and Kamagate, was third. Aamir Simms, 23, will begin his European career with Paris, too, and should fit in well with his prowess on the glass and scoring touch. Forwards and top prospects Pacome Didiet and Mohamed Diawara are both 17 years old, but already made a handful of appearances in the French League last season and could be in the mix for minutes this season too.

### PLAYER TO WATCH

Ismael Kamagate was named the French League’s Best Defender in May despite the fact that he was only 20 years old when the campaign began. He ranked second in the league in blocks with 1.6 per game and his 6.3 rebounds per game ranked among the top 10. Moreover, Kamagate was incredibly efficient on offense as he scored 11.3 points with a True Shooting Percentage that was third in the league (66.4%). A year’s worth of experience should only make him more dangerous in the Paris paint. The path to big minutes is clear for Kamagate and big men around the EuroCup will be braced for the challenge of matching up with this rising star.

### OUTLOOK

With only three players older than 25, Paris may be short on experience, but is long on hunger and talent.  How quickly these young talents adjust to playing twice a week and against tougher competition could determine Paris’s chances to climb the standings. Based on talent alone, Paris has the pieces to be a Cinderella story and it is one that fans across Europe can enjoy keeping an eye on this season. 

Roster Rundown: Dolomiti Energia Trento

Ready for its sixth consecutive season in the competition, former semifinalist Dolomiti Energia Trento is familiar with the highs as well as the lows in the 7DAYS EuroCup. This season, continuing head coach Emanuele Molin has more than half of his players returning giving Trento roster stability that should help in its EuroCup journey.

### BACKCOURT

There will be many familiar faces in Trento's backcourt, headlined by left-handed playmaker Diego Flaccadori who is poised to take the reins of this offense. He will share his duties, but also spend a lot of time together on the floor with one of the most talented young point guards on the continent, 19-year-old Matteo Spagnolo, who is set to take another step in his career by making his EuroCup debut on-loan from Real Madrid. One of the longest-tenured players in all of the competition, team captain Toto Forray will be bringing energy on both ends of the floor in his seventh season in the EuroCup and 12th with the club. Another familiar face in the Trento backcourt is a veteran guard Trent Lockett who returns to the club six years after playing a key part in helping it reach the 2016 EuroCup Semifinals. Teenagers Mourtada Gaye, Richard Morina and Lorenzo Zangheri hope to make their respective competition debuts.

### FRONTCOURT

Trento has a revamped front line with veteran small forward Drew Crawford being a rare piece with previous EuroCup experience. He played the past two seasons with Germani Brescia and MoraBanc Andorra and averaged 10.4 points and 3.5 rebounds. Meanwhile, homegrown 21-year-old Luca Conti hopes to expand his role after not missing a game last season and averaging 14 minutes per appearance. At the power forward position, Coach Molin will rely heavily on Andrejs Grazulis who can hurt teams with long-range daggers, while Mattia Udom brings a bit more athleticism to this front line. Darion Atkins will be another key piece in this frontcourt, the man who will hold the keys to the glass and can allow Coach Molin to play with a small lineup. Big man Maximilian Ladurner, in his fourth season with the team, is the only true center, but he is expected to miss the start of the season due to a back injury.

### PLAYER TO WATCH

Point guard Matteo Spagnolo has been one of the most sought-after young players on the continent. The 19-year Italian native old arrived on loan from Real Madrid, and now Trento fans will have the chance to follow his development up close. He posted 12.2 points on 44.1% three-point shooting, 3.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists in Italian League action with Cremona last season and has already been one of Trento's largest contributors during the preseason. Among the brightest young stars in the competition, many eyes will be on Spagnolo who takes this next step in his career to compete in the 7DAYS EuroCup for the first time.

### OUTLOOK

Trento enters this campaign with the ambition to show that the last season, in which it finished in last place in its regular season group and missed the playoffs, is a thing of the past. With a roster that features a couple of players with the status of club legends and several new additions who have team-first mindsets, Trento hopes it is a formula that will produce a lot more success. Expect this team to show plenty of toughness and be a competitive unit throughout the season.

Germani Brescia has ended its preseason on a high by downing fellow 7DAYS EuroCup team Dolomiti Energia Trento 77-71 in the Matteo Bertolazzi Memorial trophy final. It was a real team effort by Brescia, with seven players finishing with 7 points or more. The scoring leaders on the night for Brescia were Amedeo Della Valle and Troy Caupain with 11 points each. Toto Forray, Drew Crawford and Darion Atkins all ended with more than 10 points for Trento, but it was not enough.

The London Lions suffered a defeat on Sunday night, as it lost 100-82 to Cazoo Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz in the Alava-Araba Saria trophy on Sunday night. Tomislav Zubcic scored a team-high 16 points for London, with Devon Van Oostrum (14), Sam Dekker (11) and Luke Nelson (11) all recording more than 10 points. London has its first 7DAYS EuroCup game on October 11, with the team taking on Hapoel Tel Aviv on the road, so it will be looking to add to its opening-day win in the British League ahead of this fixture.
