### Kassius Robertson: A consistent scorer

 

Robertson began his professional career with German club Medi Bayreuth in the 2018-19 season, where he averaged 12.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.7 rebounds in 34 German League games. In the 2019-20 campaign, the ex-University of Missouri star suited up for Fortitudo Bologna, posting 14.1 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals across 21 Italian League contests. Once again, Robertson represented Niagara in the offseason, playing seven games with the Canadian team.

Having begun to make a name for himself in Europe, he agreed to sign for Obradoiro for the first time ahead of the 2020-21 season. Robertson was an instant hit in Spain, averaging 15.2 points, 1.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists through 33 Spanish League games. The following campaign, 2021-22, he maintained a similar level of performance with averages of 14.6 points, 1.9 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 34 Spanish League fixtures.

Having decided to test his luck in Italy with Reggio Emilia in the summer of 2022, Robertson played seven Italian League games with the team, posting 8.7 points, 1.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists, before returning to Obradoiro in late November 2022. Robertson went on to have his best scoring season to date with 17.4 points per game, in addition to 2.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists.

 

### Where does Robertson fit in at Valencia?

 

While Valencia remains in the market for guards, with the club reportedly looking at bringing Matt Thomas back to the club following his release by Panathinaikos Athens, Robertson joins a backcourt that boasts star point guard Chris Jones. Coach Alex Mumbru is also able to call upon the likes of Josep Puerto, Martin Hermansson and Millan Jimenez, but in Robertson and Jones he now has two players who have regularly displayed their ability to score the basketball. Valencia fans will be hoping that Robertson can carry over his displays from last season as he embarks upon his rookie season in the EuroLeague.

### Napier almost did the impossible

Milan looked destined to miss the EuroLeague Playoffs prior to Napier's arrival, yet a 6-0 run upon his arrival inspired hope among the club's fan base. The team ended up going 9-3 in the 12 games Napier played between Rounds 22 and 33. While Milan didn't make the playoffs in the end, the addition of Napier coincided with the side's best spell in the 2022-23 EuroLeague season, leaving many supporters wondering 'what could have been'.

### Some stellar performances

Napier was able to reach double figures for points in nine of his 12 appearances last season, and his career-high mark of 28 points in a road win at Valencia Basket in Round 27 was a particular highlight. Before that, in Round 24, the Milan fans watched on from afar as the ex-NBA player scored 26 points and led his team to a 75-82 win at Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul. He had a 28 PIR in the win against Valencia and a 26 PIR in the triumph over Fenerbahce, but his second-best mark was the 27 PIR he recorded in a dominant win at home to FC Bayern Munich, in which he posted 20 points, 1 rebound, 4 assists and 2 steals. Zvezda fans will be hoping for performances like this upon Napier's arrival in Belgrade.

### From the NBA to the EuroLeague

Napier began his professional career in the NBA with the Miami Heat in the 2014-15 season and went on to play a total of 354 games in the association, having also suited up for the Orlando Magic (2015-16), the Portland Trail Blazers (2016-18), the Brooklyn Nets (2018-19) and then both the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Washington Wizards in the 2019-20 campaign.

In the summer of 2021, Napier agreed to join Zenit St. Petersburg, which was playing in the EuroLeague, but an injury early in the season prevented him from making his debut. Then, in late February 2022 he left the club due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Napier joined Capitanes de Ciudad de Mexico in the G League in November 2022, but a few months later, in the final days of January 2023, he signed for Milan and made his long-awaited EuroLeague debut.

### Kyle Guy can catch fire

Guy was one of the main factors in Joventut reaching last year's EuroCup Semifinals, scoring a double-digit number of points in 11 of his 18 regular-season appearances. Notably, Guy scored a career-high 25 points in Round 11 against Frutti Extra Bursaspor, with 15 of those points coming from 5 made three-pointers. Between Rounds 11 and 16, the American reached double digits for points in six straight games. With the absence of Pau Ribas due to injury, Guy also showed his playmaking ability in the EuroCup Playoffs, pairing 13 points with 7 assists in the eighthfinals against the London Lions and 7 points with 8 assists in the quarterfinals against Hapoel Vegan Friendly Tel Aviv. In Joventut's elimination to Gran Canaria in the semifinals, he posted 9 points and 3 assists.

In the playoffs of the Spanish League, Guy made himself even more of a fans' favorite among Joventut supporters by exploding in the quarterfinals against Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz. After scoring 36 points on the road in Game 1, he followed up with 22 at home in Game 2 to seal Joventut's place in the semifinals. There, Guy dropped 30 points against Real Madrid at WiZink Center in Game 1 as Joventut stole a road game, while he also had 20 points in Game 3 at Palau Olimpic de Badalona, but that came in a loss. Joventut lost the series 3-1, but Guy's playoff heroics will live long in the memory for many of the club's fans.

### A star in college

Many people across the world were first introduced to Guy during the 2019 NCAA Final Four, as the University of Virginia star hit 3 consecutive three throws with 0.6 seconds remaining against Auburn University, which ensured that Virginia reached its first-ever championship game. Then, with the title on the line, Guy had 24 points as Virginia defeated Texas Tech University 77-85 in overtime to become the NCAA champion. Guy was named the NCAA basketball tournament Most Outstanding Player for his efforts.

Soon after, Guy began his career in the NBA with the Sacramento Kings, while he also featured for the team's G League side, the Stockton Kings. In the summer of 2021, the sharpshooter signed for the Cleveland Cavaliers before joining the Miami Heat at the end of that year. Guy had a brief spell with Cleveland's G League affiliate, the Cleveland Charge, in March 2022, then last summer he agreed to come to Europe for the first time by signing for Joventut. Now, he is readying himself for his second season in Europe – and his first in the EuroLeague – after signing for Panathinaikos.

### A successful career in Spain

 

After making his professional debut with the Greensboro Swarm, the Charlotte Hornets' affiliate team, in the G League in the 2016-17 season, Tobey ended up finishing the campaign with Valencia Basket in Spain. Despite only joining in March 2017, Tobey ended up securing himself a Spanish League winners' medal just a few months later.

From there, he spent the 2017-18 season with fellow Spanish side Tenerife, before returning to Valencia in the summer of 2018. Having already tasted success in his first spell at Valencia, Tobey became a BKT EuroCup champion with the team in 2019. Then, last summer, he moved to Barca and went on to lift the Spanish League title once again this past June.

With the Slovenian national team, Tobey has also helped the team reach the semifinals at the 2020 Olympic Games and the quarterfinals at the 2022 EuroBasket. He has earned plenty of recognition at the international level for his play with Slovenia's star point guard, Luka Doncic.
