Of its last four games, two of the wins have come on the road and two have come in Riga. When looking at the season as a whole, the only home defeat that Prometey suffered was its only game away from Riga, as it lost 105-106 to ratiopharm in Kaunas in Round 6. In Latvia, it is 4-0.
Speaking after Wednesday's game between Prometey and Brescia, the visiting team's head coach, Alessandro Magro, sent a message about the current situation in the hosts' home country of Ukraine.
"First of all, before speaking about basketball, I think it is very important to talk about the war [in Ukraine]," commented Coach Magro in his post-game press conference. "You know, the 30 seconds of silence before the game and a team that has to play in another country just because of the war. I think everybody has to do something to try to fix that problem."
Despite its sad situation away from the court, Prometey is impressing with its performances on the hardwood. In addition to being the fourth-best team in the entire EuroCup for points (85.6 ppg.) and rebounds (37.7 rpg.), it has several players that have helped make it one of the most exciting sides to watch in the competition.
For example, DJ Stephens is a highlight-reel play waiting to happen; Gian Clavell has scored a double-digit number of points in eight of his 11 games, while Caleb Agada has done so in all nine of his appearances; DJ Kennedy has the ability to cause all sorts of problems for opposition defenses; Ondrej Balvin shows veteran leadership on the interior and has hit double digits in each of his last five games; and Issuf Sanon has shown glimpses of the clear talent that he has. In short, Prometey is a lot of fun.
