The 18 teams that will compete in the 2022-23 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague are already busy building and reinforcing their rosters for the challenges of a competition in which every game matters. Check out which players have been signed and which ones currently have contracts for next season on the team-by-team list of provisional rosters below...

EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge: In-round management is critical 

There is no way to predict whether a player will do well in any given game, but keeping a close eye on the competition definitely helps your chances of getting a good [EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge powered by Ardu Prime](https://euroleaguefantasy.euroleaguebasketball.net/) score.

Indeed, staying on top of your team as the action unfolds each week could give you valuable extra points, because between the first and second game nights of each round, there are great opportunities to tweak your lineup so it performs better.

It is important to never lose sight of the fact that the team captain earns double the value (200%) of his game score, while starters and the sixth man get 100% and bench players 50%.

For that reason, it's advisable to always include players from both the first and second nights of each round. If you do, then after the first night's games finish -- late on Thursdays of normal rounds, late on Tuesdays, as well, of double-round weeks -- you can switch bench players to starters or sixth men, and even change your captain. However, in all those cases, the only players who can move to more prominent roles are those who have not yet played, which is why it's important to have some second-night players on your roster, for flexibility.

For instance, if your four-man bench has all second-night players and a couple of your starters have already underperformed on the first night of a round, you can flip them, as long as their positions match, before the start of play the second night. In that example, a starter who is demoted to the bench will see his score cut in half, which you won't mind if he had a subpar performance the previous night. Your bench player can now step up to being a starter and get 100% of his second-night output, increasing your chances of a higher overall score.

You can also change the lineup formation in between game nights of any round. So, if you started the round with a 2-2-1 lineup (two guards, two forwards, one center) but one of your guards heavily underperformed and you have two good second-night forwards on the bench, you may switch to a 1-3-1 set (one guard, three forwards, one center) to lessen the damage. Again, just like a real coach makes adjustments at halftime, you have to pay attention between nights of each round to take advantage of these opportunities.

Just remember. Any player whose score is locked in because he already played may not move from the bench (50% score value) to the starting lineup or sixth man roles (both 100%) or captain (200%). However, any player who already underperformed can be demoted, even the team captain, as long you have second-night players on your bench at the same position to flip places with him.

If you do all this well, you should score better and get closer to the end-of-season prizes. The overall winner gets to be Euroleague's VIP guests at the 2024 Final Four, including flights, four hotel nights and VIP tickets for him and a person of his choice. Take your chances and have a lot of fun by playing EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge [HERE](https://euroleaguefantasy.euroleaguebasketball.net/).

Partizan NIS Belgrade's return to the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague will be complicated by the long-term absence of two key players, head coach Zeljko Obradovic has indicated.

[Alen Smailagic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/alen-smailagic/011051/), a 22-year-old big man who averaged 7.8 points and 4.9 rebounds in 7DAYS EuroCup play last season, will not make his EuroLeague debut yet due to a hamstring injury suffered during the preseason.

[Aleksa Avramovic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/aleksa-avramovic/003983/), a 28-year-old point guard who put up 7.8 points and 2.4 assists last season in the EuroCup, hurt his hand while training with the Serbian national team. He, too, must delay his EuroLeague debut.

Both players may miss much of the rest of 2022, Obradovic said.

"Smailagic and Avramovic will hardly be ready to play until the middle of December," Obradovic said on the Arena Sport show.

Partizan pair out long term

The last 2022 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Final Four team to celebrate Media Day for the new season, Real Madrid, opened its doors on Friday for a round of whirring cameras and popping flashes as its players talked about the club's always-high ambitions at this time of year.

Real underwent a few changes since finishing as runner-up for the EuroLeague trophy in Belgrade last spring, most notably seeing a switch at the head of the bench to long-time assistant Chus Mateo, who knows the large majority of his players well.

New to the famous white and purple Real uniforms are three frontcourt players: Petr Cornelie, Mario Hezonja and Dzanan Musa, who were in much demand on Friday. But perhaps the biggest attraction was an icon who is returning to Madrid for the first time in six years, none other than Sergio "El Chacho" Rodriguez.

So the more things change, the more they stay the same for the most successful club in European basketball history, which gets its game on this season with a visit to Panathinaikos OPAP Athens next Thursday, October 6. Real visits FC Barcelona for the first El Clásico of the EuroLeague season in Round 2, and finally plays its home opener in Round 3 against Olympiacos Piraeus.

Los Blancos get real at Media Day! 

Virtus Segafredo Bologna conquered the Italian Supercup title on Thursday with a hard-fourth 69-73 triumph over Dinamo Sassari Sardegna. Virtus jumped ahead 11-15 midway through the first quarter on a basket by Ismael Bako and finished ahead after 10 minutes by 19-23 on his three-point play. Sassari rallied in the second quarter to lead 49-43 at halftime. Semi Ojeleye tied it for Virtus on the first shot after halftime, but Sassari still led 59-57 after a defensive third quarter. The lead changed hands several times after that before Alessandro Pajola's basket meant a 69-69 tie entering the final minute. Only Jordan Mickey scored a basket after that, with 24 seconds left for Virtus. When Isaia Cordinier split free throws with 6 seconds left and Chris Dowe missed a long shot that would have forced overtime, Virtus emerged victorious. Mickey led the winners with 13 points while Cordinier and Marco Belinelli added 12 each and Bako 10.

In the Israeli Cup semifinals, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv outgunned Hapoel Holon 97-91 to advance in what was the team's first official game of the season. Maccabi raced to a 27-19 lead after one quarter, expanded it to 52-40 by the break and kept pouring it on to lead 79-61 after 30 minutes. Holon reeled it back, but never threatened the outcome in Maccabi's favor. Alex Poythress led the charge for the winners with a double-double of 17 points, 11 rebounds. In the final, Maccabi Tel Aviv will face cross-town rival Hapoel Tel Aviv, which defeated Hapoel Jerusalem a night earlier in the first semifinal.

The EuroLeague Rising Star Award is a coveted trophy that has helped launch the careers of many young talents over the past two decades, including the likes of Danilo Gallinari, Ricky Rubio, Nikola Mirotic, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Luka Doncic. A player must be 21 years of age or younger on July 1 to be eligible for that season’s trophy. Here’s a look at some of the top candidates to receive this award in 2023. 

Who will be the next EuroLeague Rising Star?

The EuroLeague Rising Star Award is a coveted trophy that has helped launch the careers of many young talents over the past two decades, including the likes of Danilo Gallinari, Ricky Rubio, Nikola Mirotic, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Luka Doncic. A player must be 21 years of age or younger on July 1 to be eligible for that season’s trophy. Here’s a look at some of the top candidates to receive this award in 2023. 

### Dovydas Giedraitis, Zalgiris Kaunas 

The oldest player on the list, Giedraitis turned 22 in August. He arrives from Lietkabelis Panevezys, where he was a part-time starter in the 7DAYS EuroCup last season and he later helped it reach the Lithuanian League finals after averaging 13 points and 3.5 assists for a performance index rating of 18.5 against his new team in the semifinals. The guard will be in the mix for rotation minutes with Zalgiris this season and Giedraitis has a promising future ahead of him. 

### Rokas Jokubaitis, FC Barcelona 

The reigning EuroLeague Rising Star, Jokubaitis blossomed last season in his first campaign with Barcelona. Despite playing fewer minutes than the season before, Jokubaitis increased his scoring, rebounding, assists and shooting accuracy while bringing great energy and tough defense off the bench. Jokubaitis will turn 22 in November and if he manages to continue to take significant steps forward, Jokubaitis could become the fourth player to repeat as EuroLeague Rising Star. 

Rokas Jokubaitis has become the first Lithuanian player, and third FC Barcelona player, to be voted EuroLeague Rising Star Trophy winner. After becoming an instrumental part of Final Four bound FC Barcelona squad, the team with Turkish Airlines EuroLeague best record this season, guard Rokas Jokubaitis has been chosen a deserving winner of the EuroLeague Rising Star Trophy for the 2021-22 season.

2021-22 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Rising Star: Rokas Jokubaitis, FC Barcelona

### Yam Madar, Partizan NIS Belgrade 

In his first season outside of his native Israel, Madar played well for Partizan last season while learning at the feet of legendary head coach Zeljko Obradovic. Madar, who will turn 22 in December, has shown at his best that he has the scoring chops and the passing skills to be a lead guard in the EuroLeague, however, consistency has been an issue. With a year of top-level experience under his belt, Madar figures to have a key role for Partizan this season and if he takes another big step forward, he should be in the running for the Rising Star Trophy.  

### Nico Mannion, Virtus Segafredo Bologna 

Mannion’s first season in Italy did not go as planned from an individual point of view. A virus he contracted just before the start of training camp plagued Mannion all season long and kept him from showing the lethal skills that had made him a starter on the Italian national team and a chief target of Virtus before that. Despite his on-court struggles, Mannion was able to grow as a player by learning from the veterans around him and now back to full strength, the 21-year-old will look to show off his skills from opening night. 

### Jaime Pradilla, Valencia Basket 

Pradilla took advantage of the opportunities for playing time last season and led the 7DAYS EuroCup in two-point shooting accuracy. His 79.8% was the highest in the competition since 2005. Pradilla averaged 8.7 points and 4.0 rebounds in 16 minutes per game in helping Valencia make the EuroCup Semifinals. He also appeared in 17 games in the EuroLeague for Valencia the year before that. Pradilla should have the minutes to make his mark this season as he establishes himself as a focal point on the Valencia attack. 

Jaime Pradilla Top Plays of the 2021-22 Regular Season

2021-22 Rising Star candidate: Jaime Pradilla, Valencia Basket

### Gabriele Procida, ALBA Berlin 

Only 20 years old, Procida is one of the top players his age in Europe and ALBA signed him to a multi-year deal over the summer to help take him to the next level. The tall shooting guard was a regular contributor for Fortitudo Bologna last season in the Italian League where he displayed deep shooting range and the athleticism to attack the basket. There will be more pressure on Procida this season in the EuroLeague, but based on the early returns from the preseason, he is up for the challenge. 

### Alen Smailagic, Partizan NIS Belgrade

Smailagic will miss the start of the season, which could hurt him in the race for the Rising Star Award, however, there is no question that his talent warrants a place on this list. Smailagic had a strong debut season with Partizan in which he displayed both the tools and the skills to become a star. The do-it-all big man should have an important role waiting for him when he returns to full health as he looks to establish himself at the EuroLeague level.

2021-22 EuroLeague Rising Star candidate: Matthew Strazel

### Matthew Strazel, AS Monaco 

With 66 EuroLeague games over the past three seasons for LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne, Strazel is one of the most experienced players on this list. Only 20 years of age, Strazel will start anew this season with Monaco, where he should have an important role as a playmaker off the bench while learning from stars like Mike James, Jordan Loyd and his former ASVEL teammate Elie Okobo. The stars could be lining up for Strazel to have a breakout year. 

### Tristan Vukcevic, Partizan NIS Belgrade

The youngest player on this list, Vukcevic may still be a teenager, but he has already started in a EuroLeague Playoff game for Real Madrid in 2021. He took part in nine games for Los Blancos last season, but with his path to playing time blocked, Vukcevic came to Belgrade and joined Partizan. He has seen extended playing time in the preseason due to Alen Smailagic’s injury and a strong start from Vukcevic could secure his place in the Partizan hierarchy for seasons to come.


Back-to-back continental champion Anadolu Efes Istanbul aced its first big date of the new season by turning back archrival Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul 62-71 on Wednesday to lift the 36th President's Cup in Ankara, Turkey. 

The defensive-minded victory marked the 13th that Efes has won the trophy, following on previous such achievement in 2018. Efes got off to a good start and led 23-15 after one quarter, then clamped down defensively to surge ahead by 42-23 at halftime, by which time its new center, Ante Zizic, had 16 points. Efes more less maintained that margin at 54-36 after 30 minutes and withstood a strong fourth quarter by Fenerbahce to win by 9 points at the finish.

Vasilije Micic just missed his double-double with 16 points and 9 assists, while Rodrigue Beaubois added 10 points. For Fenerbahce, Nigel Hayes-Davis scored 13 points and Marko Guduric added 10.

### Italian Supercup: Virtus wins semifinal in OT

An all-EuroLeague semifinal in Italian Supercup tournament proved to be another defensive battle that went to overtime before Virtus Segafredo Bologna won 64-72 against EA7 Emporio Armani Milan in Brescia, Italy.

Points were scarce early as Virtus led 0-5 through 5 minutes but Devon Hall's 2 three-pointers left Milan up 12-8 after 10 minutes and guarded the same difference, 26-22, at the break. Virtus took a lead for the first time since the early going on consecutive basked by Semi Ojeleye and Isaia Cordinier at 38-40 early in the fourth quarter. Ismael Bako joined the charge as Virtus moved ahead 43-49 with 5 minutes left. Milan drew within 50-51 on a basket by Kyle Hines with 2:39 to play but Jordan Mickey and Nico Mannion seemed to end the threat until Milan's Billy Baron was fouled with 2 seconds left and made 3 free throws to force overtime, 59-59. Virtus took off again in OT, with Iffe Lunberg joining Ojeleye and Bako in a 0-9 opening run that was enough, finally, to reach the final on Thursday against the other semifinal winner, Dinamo Sassari.

Ojeleye led Virtus with 17 points while Mickey added 13, Cordinier 12 and Bako 10. Hall paced Milan with 19 while Baron scored 12 and Hines 10. Virtus enjoyed a 45-32 advantage in rebounds thanks to 9 each from Ojeleye and Bako.

Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade has announced the signing of [Miroslav Raduljica](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/miroslav-raduljica/jdu/) on a two-year contract. Raduljica (2.13 meters, 34 years old) will once again play in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague after last appearing in the competition in 2016-17, when he suited up for EA7 Emporio Armani Milan. During that campaign, he averaged 8.1 points and 3.2 rebounds in 29 EuroLeague games. His averages last season with Goyang Orions were 8.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists across 21 games in the Korean League.

Raduljica, the former captain of the Serbian national team, returns to Zvezda after 12 years away from the club. After playing for FMP Zeleznik Beograd, Zvezda and ALBA Berlin, he made his EuroLeague debut with Anadolu Efes Istanbul in 2010-11. Since then, he has gone on to play a further three seasons in the competition with Partizan NIS Belgrade (2011-12), Panathinaikos Athens (2015-16) and Milan (2016-17). In the 70 games he has played in the EuroLeague, of which 35 have been as a starter, he has averaged 9.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 assist. Raduljica has spent a total of four seasons in the 7DAYS EuroCup: three with Zeleznik (2005-06, 2007-08 and 2008-09) and one with Azovmash (2012-13). He has also played for Milwaukee and Minnesota of the NBA, Shandong, Jiangsu and Guangsha of China, and Goyang Orions of Korea.

Zvezda brings Raduljica back to the EuroLeague

The top contenders for the Ford Trophy 

The Alphonso Ford Top Scorer Trophy is awarded annually to the player who has averaged the most points over the EuroLeague season. Not since the late Ford himself in 2002 has a player led the league in scoring in back-to-back seasons. Vasilije Micic of Anadolu Efes Istanbul will attempt to do that, but he will have stiff competition both from players he knows well as well as a few high-scoring EuroLeague newcomers. Here’s a look at the top candidates to capture the Ford Trophy this season.

### Nando De Colo, LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne

A former EuroLeague MVP, De Colo led the league in scoring during the 2015-16 season with a career-high 19.4 points per game. He has averaged at least 15 points per game in five different seasons and enters this season needing 630 points to become the competition’s all-time leading scorer. One of the greatest shooters in EuroLeague history, he has seven 50–40-90 seasons. After a down year, all signs point to De Colo being the go-to guy in his first season with ASVEL and that should translate into a lot of points.

He has accomplished everything possible in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague and is now its all-time leader in performance index rating, but Nando De Colo continues working to taste the glory anew with Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul

Focus on: Nando De Colo, Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul

### Carsen Edwards, Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul 

Although there may be a learning curve as he settles into the EuroLeague, Edwards has a proven track record as an elite scorer. He led the G-League in scoring last season with 26.8 points per game. In college, he set the record for most threes in a single NCAA Tournament with 28 over four games and the potential for that red-hot shooting makes him dangerous whenever he takes the court. Add to that playing alongside assist maestro Nick Calathes and defenses also paying attention to the rest of the Fenerbahce stars and Edwards could find himself scoring in bunches as a EuroLeague rookie. 

### Markus Howard, Cazoo Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz 

Howard left a trail of smashed records in his wake in college and, after playing in a reserve role in the NBA the last two seasons, he should be eager to attack baskets all over the EuroLeague. Howard led all of college basketball in scoring with 27.8 points per game for Marquette University and is ranked 21st in NCAA history with 2.761 points, which set his school’s career scoring record, too. His 434 career three-pointers are tied for the eighth-most in NCAA Division I history. Howard should have the green light to shoot early and often for Baskonia and could be in the mix for the Ford Trophy. 

### Mike James, AS Monaco

James could make a great case as the best scorer in EuroLeague history. His career average of 16.2 points per game is seventh on the all-time charts, but none of the players in front of him have played even half as many games as James’s 205. He is also, coincidentally, seventh in total points scored with 3,318 and figures to keep climbing that chart this season. The Ford Trophy winner in 2019, James has been among the top three scorers in each of the past three seasons. The biggest question surrounding James’s scoring ability this season with Monaco will be how the additions of fellow high-scoring guards Elie Okobo and Jordan Loyd affect his shot totals.

### Shane Larkin, Anadolu Efes Istanbul 

Larkin was fifth in the league in scoring last season with 14.7 points per game and it was his lowest output in the last three seasons. He was the runaway league leader with 22.2 points per game in 2019-20 before the COVID-19 pandemic brought a premature end to the season. A reported hand injury is likely to cause Larkin to miss the start of the season and if that lingers, or he plays fewer minutes early on after his return, it could lower his chances of taking home the Ford Trophy. But the truth is that Larkin has eyes set on a much bigger trophy. 

### Vasilije Micic, Anadolu Efes Istanbul

The Ford Trophy went to Micic last season for the first time after he led the league with 18.2 points per game. The league MVP the previous season, Micic reached the 20-point mark in half of his 17 appearances and should be just as dangerous this season. As a combo guard with great passing vision, defenses are always forced to gamble against Micic because he can exploit double teams, overpower many guards on the way to the basket and he is physical enough to absorb contact and finish against bigger defenders. The last player to lead the league in scoring in consecutive seasons was Alphonso Ford himself and Micic has a chance to do just that. 

### Nikola Mirotic, FC Barcelona 

The list of Ford Trophy winners is traditionally dominated by guards and Mirotic seems to be the best candidate to change that. Since he joined Barcelona in 2019, Mirotic has averaged the third-most points in the league and his 16.9 points per game last season were second-most in the competition. He is one of the best shooters in the league; last season he was 11th in two-point accuracy (65.5%) and fourth in three-point accuracy (46.3%). Mirotic may miss the start of the season to injury, but when he is at full strength he has all the tools to compete for the scoring title. 

2021-22 MVP of the Season: Nikola Mirotic, FC Barcelona

### Dzanan Musa, Real Madrid 

Musa makes his return to the EuroLeague after a fantastic season with Rio Breogan in which he led the Spanish League in scoring with 20.1 points per game. Only 23 years of age, Musa has a vast array of skills and Real Madrid brought him in to be a big part of the club’s future. The only thing standing in his way of challenging for the Ford Trophy this season is the loaded roster around him and the need to share shots. Nevertheless, Musa has displayed the ability to score throughout his career and is certainly a player to keep an eye on. 

### Nemanja Nedovic, Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade 

After leading Panathinaikos Athens in scoring and finishing seventh in the league with 14.3 points per game last season, Nedovic is back home in the capital of Serbia and should have many more opportunities to score. Nedovic has two prior EuroLeague seasons in which he averaged at least 16 points, including 2017-18 when his 16.8 were second in the league. As a leader on Zvezda, Nedovic should have the freedom and confidence to shoot when he’s comfortable and that could lead to some big numbers this season. 

### Scottie Wilbekin, Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul 

No player has made more three-pointers over the past four seasons than Wilbekin’s 333 and he is fourth in total points scored in that span, too. What will his role look like with Fenerbahce this season? Wilbekin will for the first time in many years play alongside a natural point guard and that could lead to him getting even better looks than when he had to work to create shots for himself. Wilbekin’s shooting range, coupled with his elusive moves to get to the basket, make him a danger whenever he steps on the floor and a regular on the list of top scorers.

### De Colo aims even higher

A former MVP and two-time EuroLeague champion, [Nando De Colo](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/nando-de-colo/002100/) made a blockbuster move back home to his native France to join LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne. Already the all-time leader in performance index rating (4,319), now De Colo needs just 175 points to become just third player to surpass 4,000 points. He would need 630 to catch all-time leader Vassilis Spanoulis (4,455), but that is a figure surpassed only twice in Euroleague history, by Vasilije Micic of Anadolu Efes Istanbul in 2020-21 and by Alexey Shved of Khimki Moscow Region in 2017-18. De Colo could also become first guard with 1,000 two-point shots made – he has 893 to start the season – and needs to make just 74 free throws to become the second player to reach 1,000.

### Longevity and legacy for Hines

Four-time EuroLeague champ [Kyle Hine](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/kyle-hines/002812/)s has a chance to become the EuroLeague's all-time leader in games played this season. Hines has already appeared in 357 games during his 12 EuroLeague seasons with Brose Baskets, Olympiacos Piraeus, CSKA Moscow and EA7 Emporio Armani Milan. Hines enters the season tied for the fourth place all-time with Felipe Reyes. Also in front of him on that list are Vassilis Spanoulis (358) and Georgios Printezis (375). The all-time leader in games played is now-retired Zalgiris Kaunas legend Paulius Jankunas (392), which means Hines would need to appear in 35 games to at least tie for first place. Interestingly, Hines had played in 36 games or more in each of his last three full seasons. Stay tuned!

### Shot-blocking chase for Dunston, Hines and Tavares

Anadolu Efes Istanbul center [Bryant Dunston](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/bryant-dunston/003048/) finished last season by lifting the EuroLeague trophy on the floor of Stark Arena in Belgrade. Dunston also finished last season as the EuroLeague's all-time in blocked shots with 309. His closest followers are Hines with 286 and [Walter Tavares](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/walter-tavares/005791/) of Real Madrid, who is third with 284. Tavares registered at least 60 blocks in each of the last three seasons, while Bryant had 31 and 36 in the last two seasons, respectively. If the trend continues, Tavares could catch up to Dunston and move to the top of the heap.

### Milestones for Barca and Zalgiris

In Round 18, when it visits Virtus Segafredo Bologna, Zalgiris Kaunas will play its 500th game in the EuroLeague since 2000, making it the 10th club to reach that figure. Before the end of the regular season, however, FC Barcelona will become the first team to reach 600 games played. Barca currently ranks first with 571. For that momentous occasion in mid-March of 2023, Barcelona will host Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade. Meanwhile, Real Madrid has a chance to become the first team to reach 5,000 three-point shots made in the competition. To get there, Los Blancos need 353 triples to go down, but needed to play through the playoffs and Final Four last season to reach that figure.

The upcoming 2022-23 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season guarantees a large dose of thrills, excitement and elite basketball, but what we could also witness is some of the long-standings all-time records broken, and major milestones to be reached.

Storylines: Looming player and club milestones

Storylines: Learning to do without...

The summer of 2022 resulted in plenty of changes with many players and coaches in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague either leaving the stage or signing in new places. Heading into the 2022-23 regular season, several teams are embarking upon new beginnings without some familiar faces.

### Zalgiris without Jankunas

Paulius Jankunas, Zalgiris Kaunas's most identifiable player during his 19-year pro career and the Euroleague record-holder in games played, retired last spring. And even though he started in just four of 17 EuroLeague appearances last season, filling the huge leadership void left by the 2018 All-EuroLeague Second Team selection was never going to be easy. Zalgiris snapped up experienced Rolands Smits and Kevarrius Hayes in the summer to shore up the frontline. And there are long-time local stars like Mantas Kalnietis, Lukas Lekavicius and Edgaras Ulanovas, who was chosen as team captain, to provide leadership. Plus, with Jankunas working for the team management still, there will always be great advice at hand for the team in green.

### Olympiacos without Printezis

Georgios Printezis, the author of the most consequential shot in elite club basketball history, also retired from Olympiacos Piraeus at the close of the last campaign. Printezis was tied to the Reds since childhood, and the two-time EuroLeague champion was essential to Olympiacos making its Final Four return last spring after a five-year absence. The Reds picked up Alec Peters to help try to fill Printezis's shoes at power forward, while the leadership torch has been passed to new team captain Kostas Papanikolaou, who will be helped by veteran point guard Kostas Sloukas in the effort to maintain Olympiacos's standards and lead this current team on and off the court.

### Real without Laso

Pablo Laso spent 11 seasons as Real Madrid's head coach, leading the club to seven EuroLeague Final Fours and two EuroLeague titles, but Los Blancos decided to part ways with the 54-year-old over the summer. The two-time EuroLeague Coach of the Year had a crucial role in Real's dominance during his tenure, so it will be interesting to see how much of the team's style and success under Laso can be replicated with his former assistant, Chus Mateo, now on the bench. Expectation levels remain high at WiZink Center, particularly after a summer in which Real has strengthened its roster, and Coach Mateo has already won the Spanish Super Cup, so the signs are pointing in the right direction.

### Fenerbahce without De Colo and Vesely

The offseason saw plenty of changes at Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul, including the departures of two former EuroLeague MVPs: Jan Vesely and Nando De Colo. After eight years at Fenerbahce during which he became a EuroLeague champion in 2017 and was chosen as MVP in 2019, Vesely left this summer for FC Barcelona. De Colo, meanwhile, the 2016 EuroLeague MVP and a two-time champion with CSKA Moscow, brought his three-year stay with Fenerbahce to an end by returning to France with LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne. A quick rebuild has taken place this summer at Ulker Sports and Event Hall, with Dimitris Itoudis arriving as head coach to lead a new project that features a host of new signings, including Nemanja Bjelica, Johnathan Motley, Scottie Wilbekin, Carsen Edwards, Nick Calathes and Nigel Hayes-Davis. It might well take more than two of them to fill the big shoes left by Vesely and De Colo.

### Maccabi without Wilbekin

Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv fans fell in love with Scottie Wilbekin during his four years playing for the team, but during this offseason, he departed for Fenerbahce. Wilbekin arrived at Maccabi in 2018, but fast forward four years and there is a new signing who has generated a similar level of anticipation in Lorenzo Brown, who played a key role in Spain winning the EuroBasket title over the summer. Many fans were disappointed to see the departure of Wilbekin, but with Brown and fellow new arrivals Wade Baldwin and Darrun Hilliard, there is a lot of excitement at Menora Mivtachim Arena for the kind of perimeter power that marked so many successful Maccabi teams of the past.

### Zvezda without Radonjic

Dejan Radonjic further added to his domestic resumé as Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade head coach during his second stint at the club, but in late June he left to take charge of Panathinaikos Athens. The hope in Athens is that Radonjic will lead the Greens back to the postseason after missing out on the playoffs in the last two seasons. For Zvezda, however, new head coach Vladimir Jovanovic will be keen to pick up the baton from Radonjic and make the team more of a threat in the EuroLeague, as it has failed to reach the playoffs in any of its three seasons since its return to the competition in 2019.
