Overview
w
l
Ergin Ataman has retained the core of last season’s Greens roster, including reigning league MVP Kendrick Nunn, whilst adding even more backcourt explosiveness with 2024-25’s assists leader TJ Shorts and three-point scoring ace Vassilis Toliopoulos. NBA veteran Richaun Holmes has also been captured to add further power in the paint, and it’s clear Panathinaikos is again a leading title candidate. But Bayern also has lots of ambition with coach Gordie Herbert welcoming eight new players including dynamic guard Kamar Baldwin and high-flying center Wenyen Gabriel, who makes an immediate return to Athens to debut against his former club.
