2023-24 EuroLeague signings, provisional rosters

Welcome to another great season of EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge, powered by Ardu Prime! For the new 2023-24 season, you will find everything that you loved about the ultimate companion game to the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague in the past, plus a few new additions and wrinkles to enhance your playing experience!

Welcome to another great season of [EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge, powered by Ardu Prime](https://euroleaguefantasy.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/dashboard)! For the new 2023-24 season, you will find everything that you loved about the ultimate companion game to the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague in the past, plus a few new additions and wrinkles to enhance your playing experience!

When it comes to the game itself, the basics remain the same. Fantasy managers get 100 credits per team to build a squad of four guards, four forwards, two centers and one head coach. Teams will earn points each round based on the performances of their players in the actual EuroLeague games in that round. Managers can make a limited number of player swaps after each round, and the best teams are eligible to win prizes!

So what's new? This season we are excited to introduce a brand-new stats page with many new data points to help managers make better decisions. Also, at five different points during the season (following Rounds 4, 13, 19, 26 and 31), managers will enjoy unlimited player swaps to help them reset their rosters if they have run into trouble. The EuroLeague's introduction of the Play-In Showdown this season will also be represented in the EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge, with unlimited player swaps permitted for these games as well as for the Playoffs and the Final Four.

One more new addition this season will be the Fantasy Clash Quiz. This new game will challenge players to choose between sets of two predetermined players as to who will accrue more fantasy points in that round. The manager who finishes atop the season-long Fantasy Clash Quiz leaderboard will take home a special prize.

The list of available prizes for the 2023-24 season includes tickets to games, official EuroLeague jerseys and basketballs, subscriptions to EuroLeague TV and more, all highlighted by the grand prize: A VIP package for the winner and a friend to attend the 2025 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Final Four, including flights, four hotel nights and VIP tickets.

Registration is now open, so [sign up](https://euroleaguefantasy.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/dashboard), log in and compete against tens of thousands of basketball fans across the world to prove yourself in [EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge](https://euroleaguefantasy.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/dashboard), powered by Ardu Prime!

Unpredictability filled last season right up until the moment when Real Madrid seized the trophy in the closing seconds of the Final Four. The new season promises even more drama with the addition of [the new Play-In Showdown phase](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/euroleague-introduces-play-in-showdown/) between the regular season and the playoffs.

You can now [DOWNLOAD THE CALENDAR](https://euroleague.roktcalendar.com/2023-24) to the device of your choice and keep your club's biggest dates of the season close at hand at all times.

In less than three months, the EuroLeague will be back in full swing, with opening games set for the first week of October. There will be 34 rounds of round-robin action in which all teams play all others twice, home and away. Then comes the Play-In Showdown, followed by four best-of-five playoff series and then the world-renowned Final Four, to be held at Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, Germany.

The season arrives with a bang with Round 1 derbies, the first between FC Bayern Munich and ALBA Berlin on Thursday, October 5. A night later, one of the greatest rivalries in basketball, Panathinaikos Athens vs. Olympiacos Piraeus, last season's runner-up, takes the stage. Less than a week later, in Round 2, get ready for the last two EuroLeague champions to lock horns as Anadolu Efes Istanbul hosts Real Madrid.

The first of eight double-round weeks runs from Tuesday, October 17 to Friday, October 20. Seven of those double-round weeks will fall by February 2, including an unprecedented two consecutively as all teams play four games between Tuesday, January 2 and Friday, January 12.

Be sure to circle Thursday, October 26 on your calendars, too. On that night, two of most passionate derbies anywhere are scheduled: Partizan Mozzart Bet vs. Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet meet in the Belgrade derby and Real hosts FC Barcelona the first *Clasico* of the season.

The Italian derby comes next as EA7 Emporio Armani Milan will visit Virtus Segafredo Bologna on Thursday, November 14. The Turkish derby will wait until the end of the first leg of the regular season, in Round 17, when Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul crosses the Bosphorus to face Efes on Thursday, December 29. One night later, the last scheduled game of 2023 and the first lap of the regular season pits Partizan against Virtus.

Between February 3 and the last date of the regular season, Friday, April 12, there will be just one more double-round week, from March 19 to 22. The next-to-last round features the last scheduled derby of the regular season as Efes visits Fenerbahce on Friday, April 5.

[The new Play-In Showdown](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/euroleague-introduces-play-in-showdown/) will take place from Tuesday, April 16 until Friday, April 19, and then the best-of-five playoffs get rolling on the following Tuesday, April 23. If any series reaches five games, the playoffs will end on Wednesday, May 8, setting the stage for the Final Four from Thursday, May 23 to Sunday, May 26 in the German capital, with the semifinals being played on May 24 and the Third-Place and Championship Games on the 26th.

It all adds up to a minimum of 326 games, more if all playoff series are not sweeps, and like always, every one matters -- even more so thanks to the new Play-In Showdown.

The preseason run-up to the 2023-24 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season is underway across Europe with individual friendly games and prestigious tournaments serving to help all teams take what they are preparing at training camp onto the court for testing.

Valencia Basket guard Chris Jones has played in Mongolia, Switzerland, Belgium, Turkiye, Israel, France and now Spain to pursue his basketball dreams.

Basketball Nomads: Valencia Basket's Chris Jones on finding a 'home away from home'

The pro basketball path of Valencia Basket guard [Chris Jones](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/chris-jones/010568/) has been a roundabout one, featuring seven stops in seven different countries as he enters his fourth Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season. He is very much the definition of a basketball nomad.

The 30-year-old started his pro career in Mongolia, more than 10,000 kilometers away from Texas, where he grew up and went to both high school and university. From there he made stops in Switzerland (Starwings Basel, 2016-17), Belgium (Mons-Hainaut, 2017-19), Turkiye (Bursaspor, 2019-20), Israel (Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv, 2020-21), France (LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne, 2021-22) and finally Spain (Valencia, 2022-).

Changing countries so frequently as a young pro couldn't help but impact him.

"My first couple years, it was tough, you know, like the language barrier, finding food, being away from family and friends, but I think over the years I kind of got adjusted to it," Jones explains in a sit-down interview with Euroleague Basketball.

"I feel like the toughest part is being away from home, just something you're not used to. I mean, \[for\] food you can kind of find things that you like, but I think being away from family and friends – and you only can talk through FaceTime and \[Facebook\] Messenger – I feel like that's the toughest part."

### A chance to enjoy different cultures

Even though he has experienced so many different cultures, Jones says that he's a homebody at heart.

"Every country has its own unique thing, whether it’s the language or the different foods," he says. "Me personally, I'm kind of like a homebody. I mean, besides my teammates teaching me things about the culture, or seeing things online, I'm kind of to myself... My wife, she tries a lot of different things, so I'm forced to do it then."

Although some routine tasks can prove complicated when you change cultures annually, being a pro player has some perks, like when trying to find a new barber.

"Pretty much every country I've been to, somebody has written to me saying, 'Hey, I cut hair.' So you go through their Instagram page and see how they do," Jones comments. "Or you can ask a teammate or hopefully somebody who was there the year before, and it's like, 'Hey, who cut your hair here?' So, I feel like that's kind of the easy part."

Basketball Nomads: Chris Jones and his journey to finding a 'home'

### The impact on his family

Moving from country to country understandably has a knock-on effect for the player's immediate family. Jones, a father of two boys, had to be away from his now-eight-year-old son in Mongolia and Switzerland, but since then his family has been on the same peripatetic journey with him.

"\[My kids\] like it a lot," Jones notes. "To them, it's kind of like a super long vacation; I'm doing all the work, but they like it. They travel, see different countries and \[get\] stamps on their passports. Family and friends back at home are just amazed by it and wish they could come out here for some time.

"The experience is nice for myself and my family. You know, I never thought growing up that I'll be traveling and seeing different parts of the world, but basketball does a lot for me."

### Finding a place to call 'home'

Earning a three-year contract extension after his first year at Valencia means that Jones has finally found a basketball home, something he is very grateful for.

"Signing for another three years here, I think it's great for me and my family just to feel the family-oriented organization that \[Valencia\] is," Jones says. "I don't have to worry about the next couple of years of trying new things; I like the fact that I can come here and just be comfortable.

"Every year I've been to a different team in the hope of finding a home away from home. I was blessed to sign three more years here and, like I say, Valencia is home to me."

[EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge, powered by Ardu Prime](https://euroleaguefantasy.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/home), opens its 20th edition with the start of the 2023-24 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season. There are many ways to compete for the grand prize, a unique package that includes being guests of the Euroleague at the 2025 Final Four - flights, four hotel nights and VIP tickets. Even though the game has changed many times over its 20 years, there are some standard strategies that you can follow to be more successful. Here's some help to help you challenge your friends and even compete for the overall victory.

### Coaches are critical

Picking the right head coach is critical, and being able to identify which team is really strong at home counts a lot. Last season, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv finished the regular season with a league-best 15-2 home record. Picking a winning coach should give you an edge over other candidates. Do not hesitate to spend credits on a head coach who should win his game and, of course, choose wisely.

### Rotation changes happen

It is very important to monitor injuries and to keep track of which players are not available in that particular moment. Not only will you avoid a player who scores 0 Fantasy points, but other players at his position should see more playing time and therefore have a better chance of getting a higher PIR. More minutes don't always mean a higher PIR, of course, but it usually goes that way.

### Check domestic leagues

This is crucial at the beginning of the season. The best way to find undervalued players is to check a team's domestic results and see who played a lot and did well. Be careful, though. It is not the same to check a 50-point win in which all players saw court time than to check a really close showdown in which the team was forced to play with its strongest rotation. That's the information we like, and when it comes to Fantasy Challenge, information is power.

### Be attached to nobody

Remember: Fantasy Challenge has no memory. Only the next game determines if a player's value will go up or down. For instance, if you buy a player who had a PIR of 30 for five consecutive weeks, and then the same player gets a PIR of -5, his value will drop heavily. Being able to read rosters and determine which star player has a better chance to put up a monster performance is a rare skill that pays off.

### Follow our podcasts and articles

Starting this season, Frankie Sachs and Javier Gancedo are co-hosting the [EuroLeague Fantasy Podcast, powered by Ardu Prime](https://euroleaguefantasy.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/home). They will break down their teams, chat with special guests and analyze the fantasy week ahead.

No matter what a player's age, the learning curve in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague is steep for newcomers. Some players adapt quickly and put themselves on a track to impact the league long-term. That was true of many first-timers last season who now are back, though some with different teams, to show what they have learned. Here are the top 10 sophomores whom everybody, especially opponents, should be watching out for in the 2023-24 season.

Top 10 super sophomores in the 2022-23 EuroLeague

Yam Madar, Semi Ojeleye and 2 others Top Plays of the Playoffs

Yam Madar, Semi Ojeleye, Shabazz Napier, Chima Moneke 2022-23 EuroLeague highlights

### 10\. Chima Moneke, Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz

A midseason pickup, Moneke helped Monaco reach the Final Four with a solid Game 5 in the playoffs, but had best performance vs. Baskonia, where he has landed to showcase his forte: dominating the boards.

Ojeleye averaged 12.6 points for Virtus over his last 17 games last season, his best of which came in Valencia. His shooting rates – 58.9% on two-pointers, 46.1% on threes and 87.0% at the foul line – were exceptional for a rookie.

### 8\. Shabazz Napier, Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade

In 12 games with Milan, Napier averaged 15.0 points, 3.9 assists and 16.4 PIR while hitting 45.6% on triples and 87.5% on free throws. He also showed he can run an offense and defend the ball, which should make him invaluable for Zvezda.

### 7 . Yam Madar, Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul

EuroLeague coaches voted him the Rising Star Award winner after he started more than half of Partizan's games for Zeljko Obradovic. Madar's head is always in the game, which is what Fenerbahce fans can count on from their dependable new point guard.

Bonzie Colson, Carsen Edwards and 1 other Top Plays of the 2022-23 Playoffs

Bonzie Colson, Carsen Edwards, Ignas Brazdeikis 2022-23 EuroLeague highlights

Edwards came off the bench for 8.0 points in 15 minutes per game for Fenerbahce, but showed he can take over, as in a Game 2 playoffs road win at Olympiacos. At Bayern, he will get a lot more opportunity to show even more.

### 5\. Ignas Brazdeikis, Zalgiris Kaunas

Brazdeikis dropped more points than any Zalgiris player and upped his output to 13.7 per game with better shooting percentages in the playoffs. He had 19 double-digit scoring games last season, and Zalgiris will need more of the same.

### 4\. Bonzie Colson, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv

He matched the second-highest PIR in any single game last season while helping Maccabi within a victory of the Final Four. Colson's top-10 finish in rebounding (5.6) and top-25 in PIR (13.1) stand to get better with a year of learning the competition behind him.

Maik Kotsar, Johnathan Motley and 1 other Top Plays of the Playoffs

Maik Kotsar, Johnathan Motley and Darius Thompson 2022-23 EuroLeague highlights

### 3\. Maik Kotsar, Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz

Kotsar opened his EuroLeague career as the MVP for Round 1 and finished the season ranked eighth in PIR per 40 minutes at 26.1, with three former season MVPs above him on that list. If he improves his free-throw shooting, the sky will become the limit for him.

### 2\. Johnathan Motley, Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul

Ranked third in PIR (27.5) and fourth in points (24.9) per 40 minutes, Motley was a force to be reckoned with as a rookie. His top-12 finishes in scoring (14.5), rebounds (5.4) and PIR (16.0) leave little to improve upon. Fener fans would love a repeat performance.

### 1\. Darius Thompson, Anadolu Efes Istanbul

Walking into the EuroLeague and leading your team to within a victory of the playoffs is rare. Thompson's league-best 6.7 assists for Baskonia were just one indicator. His poise and late-game leadership landed him in Efes to replace Vasilije Micic, which indicates the rest.

Top 10 super sophomores in the 2023-24 EuroLeague

Thursday was AS Monaco's turn for Media Day at the Stade Louis II.

Monaco has Media Day in the Principality 

Thursday was AS Monaco's turn for Media Day. Few teams have garnered as much attention this summer as the team from the Principality of Monaco, which has been in the rise over the past few years. After winning the EuroCup in 2021, the team debuted in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague the following season and went all the way to Game 5 in the playoffs. And then last season, Monaco made history by reaching the Final Four. But before Coach Sasa Obradovic could talk about any of that at Media Day, he needed his morning coffee.

<center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Coach says “good morning ☕️”<br><br>It’s <a href="https://twitter.com/ASMonaco_Basket?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ASMonaco_Basket</a> Media Day 📸 <a href="https://t.co/lE6sO9QTfk">pic.twitter.com/lE6sO9QTfk</a></p>&mdash; Turkish Airlines EuroLeague (@EuroLeague) <a href="https://twitter.com/EuroLeague/status/1704764257726857669?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 21, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Monaco will enter the 2023-24 season relying on the core from last season, with only four major additions. However, each of those newcomers carries significant weight, whether it four-time NBA All-Star Kemba Walker, reigning EuroLeague champion Petr Cornelie, French national team player Terry Tarpey or 2022 EuroCup MVP Mam Jaiteh.

<center> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Kemba’s got a message for you 👀<br><br>Only 2 weeks left 🙌 <a href="https://twitter.com/ASMonaco_Basket?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ASMonaco_Basket</a> <a href="https://t.co/u8XVh0hLGk">pic.twitter.com/u8XVh0hLGk</a></p>&mdash; Turkish Airlines EuroLeague (@EuroLeague) <a href="https://twitter.com/EuroLeague/status/1704820666329927704?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 21, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

After a long preseason training camp across two countries, there is already a bond among the players and the chemistry could be seen and felt as they ran through the various Media Day requirements, including posing for photo shoots, sitting down for interviews and taking part in social media activities. For some of the stars, it was too much!

<center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Mike is so excited for the new season, he can&#39;t keep a ball steady in his hands 🤭<a href="https://t.co/ActthgMjG7">pic.twitter.com/ActthgMjG7</a></p>&mdash; AS Monaco Basket EN 🏀 (@ASMBasket_EN) <a href="https://twitter.com/ASMBasket_EN/status/1704804236859465855?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 21, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

In addition to the EuroLeague media crew, local crews and sponsors who were interacting with the players on this day at Stade Louis II, the Monaco social media crew was there and on 🔥 too! Check out their thoughts on how many balls the star backcourt of Mike James, Kemba Walker, Elie Okobo and Jordan Loyd will need for every game.

Monaco already won its first official game of the season in the French League and will have several more contests in its domestic competition before it heads to Spain to visit Valencia Basket for its EuroLeague opener on Friday, October 6.

The name Blatt is forever stitched into the fiber of Maccabi Tel Aviv. That said, it is almost hard to believe that when Tamir Blatt takes the court for the first time this season, he will become the first member of his family to ever play for the club.

Tamir Blatt, Maccabi: 'I'm happy to be back'

The name Blatt is forever stitched into the fiber of Maccabi Tel Aviv. That said, it is almost hard to believe that when [Tamir Blatt](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/tamir-blatt/011193/) takes the court for the first time this season, he will become the first member of his family to ever play for the club.

His father, David Blatt, led Maccabi to its last EuroLeague crown in 2014 and was inducted into the club's Hall of Fame last season. Tamir is a member of the Israeli national team, grew up rooting for Maccabi, and has played for several of the biggest clubs in Israel. Yet [this season will be his first wearing the yellow-and-blue uniform](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/maccabi-pens-tamir-blatt-to-two-year-deal/).

"I mean, as a child, I have great memories here," Tamir said. "You know, being 5-6 years old, they're coming to practice and watching all-time greats of the EuroLeague practicing and to the games, of course, yeah. And I have a lot of incredible memories from being a child and watching.

"Growing up, coming to games, I remember I was sitting right here at Gate 7 and watching the games, and with the energy and the incredible support from the fans, I wanted to be on the court. And now you have the chance to play for Maccabi. It's amazing."

Tamir played in the youth system of Lev Hasharon and began his professional career with Maccabi rival Hapoel Tel Aviv. He also had stints with Hapoel Holon and Hapoel Jerusalem before heading abroad for the past two seasons to play for ALBA Berlin in the EuroLeague. Now the younger Blatt is poised to take on a key role with Maccabi. But he is not trying to step out of his father's shadow, but rather embracing his special status. 

"First of all, I'm always David Blatt's son. That's the first thing," he noted. "And then, yeah, I mean, I always wanted to create my own story and I have done that. And now coming to Maccabi, playing in the EuroLeague is a is another step for me and I'm very excited about it."

Despite the many teams Tamir played for and David coached, it never worked out for the former to play for the latter. The son recognizes that there could have been tough times if that happened, but he would have embraced it. 

"It's very tough, 'cause, I mean, he's my father and I just want him to be on my side, supporting me always," said Tamir. "But if I had the chance to play for him, for sure I would want that because he's one of the best coaches in the history of the game, in my opinion."

In addition to his father, there were many men involved in the building of Tamir into a savvy, high-IQ playmaker. For example, he was fortunate to learn from several of the great players David coached.

"One of them was Nikos Zisis that I really, I really liked the way he played and liked his personality. And yeah, I still talk to him to this day," Tamir said. 

Then there is his coach at Maccabi, Oded Kattash, who is reunited with Tamir for a fourth time. 

"That is one of the reasons I wanted to join Maccabi," Tamir confirmed. "You know, him being the head coach, he had a great influence on my career. I mean, I played for him in Jerusalem. I started \[my\] career with him and I was with him in the Under 20 \[European\] Championship. So we had a lot of games together and success and he's taught me a lot. I really like the way he coaches and his character and I'm looking forward to it."

Another key in preparing Tamir for what to expect with Israel's biggest club was Tamir going to Germany and getting his feet wet in the EuroLeague with ALBA.

"I grew a lot. You know, moving outside the country for the first time was a challenge. The beginning was very hard," recalled Tamir. "I had a couple of tough months, and I could really relate to players, you know, leaving their country and playing overseas... So I grew a lot also on the court, off the court. And yeah, it helped me for sure."

Tamir played in 60 EuroLeague games, including 17 starts, in his time with ALBA. He is taking everything that he learned there to make sure he blends in as seamlessly as possible at Maccabi. 

"We have a lot of guys coming back from last year that they're continuing the second year and I'm joining with a few new guys and you know, we want to make that chemistry work," he added. "I just know that I want to help the team to be successful... to be a good teammate, support the guys when I step on the court, give my best."

Most of all, Tamir is happy to be home again. 

"It was tough to be away from everybody and I really missed them," he summed up. "And yeah, I'm happy. I'm happy to be back."

Virtus Segafredo Bologna has followed up the sudden departure of Sergio Scariolo by hiring Luca Bianchi as its new head coach for the upcoming 2023-24 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season, the club announced on Friday evening.

Bianchi, 58, returns to the EuroLeague after a five-year absence. He had finished the 2017-18 season with a 2-4 record for Brose Bamberg after replacing Andrea Trinchieri. Most recently, he was named Best Coach of FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 after leading Latvia to an unexpected fifth-place finish.

Virtus Segafredo Bologna has followed up [the sudden departure of Sergio Scariolo](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/virtus-bologna-parts-ways-with-sergio-scariolo/) by hiring Luca Banchi as its new head coach for the upcoming Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season, the club announced on Friday evening. Their contract is for two seasons.

Banchi, 58, returns to the EuroLeague after a five-year absence. He had finished the 2017-18 season with a 2-4 record for Brose Bamberg after replacing Andrea Trinchieri. Most recently, he was named Best Coach of FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 after leading Latvia to an unexpected fifth-place finish.

<center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="it" dir="ltr">🔏 LUCA BANCHI È IL NOSTRO NUOVO ALLENATORE<br><br>Best Coach of <a href="https://twitter.com/FIBAWC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@FIBAWC</a> 🎖<br>Welcome on board coach!<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/AmarsiAncora?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#AmarsiAncora</a> <a href="https://t.co/q4o8MQ2wgv">pic.twitter.com/q4o8MQ2wgv</a></p>&mdash; Virtus Segafredo Bologna (@VirtusSegafredo) <a href="https://twitter.com/VirtusSegafredo/status/1702730707166961721?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 15, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> 

Banchi had started his EuroLeague career as an assistant coach with Montepaschi Siena between 2006 and 2012, when that club reached the Final Four twice, in 2008 in Madrid and 2011 in Barcelona, finishing in third place both times.

His high-water mark as a EuroLeague head coach came when he took EA7 Emporio Armani Milan, another team from his native Italy, to the team's first playoffs appearance this century in 2014. Milan lost that series to eventual champion Maccabi Tel Aviv. Banchi's overall record in four EuroLeague seasons with those three clubs was 39-43.

He also coached two seasons in the EuroCup, first with Turin of Italy in 2017-18 and then with Lokomotiv Kuban of Russia in 2019-20, with an 8-11 overall record between those two seasons.
