The new-look Panathinaikos Athens was the last of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague teams to launch its new season with the opening of training camp practices on Thursday morning. The Greens revamped their whole team over the summer, starting with appointing a back-to-back EuroLeague champion on the bench, Ergin Ataman, who has arrived from Anadolu Efes Istanbul.

The first session saw many new faces on the floor, including veteran point guard Kostas Sloukas, who joined Panathinaikos after spending eight seasons – split over two stints – wearing the red of archrival Olympiacos Piraeus. Other new faces present in Athens were guard Luca Vildoza, shooting ace Kyle Guy and big men Kostas Antetokoumpo and Olek Balcerowski.
