FC Bayern Munich enters this Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season coming off its best performance ever in 2020-21 when it became the first German team to reach the playoffs. Many of its main assets from last season have moved elsewhere, but Bayern is back strong to try to, at least, match its success.
BACKCOURT
While Nick Weiler-Babb, Nihad Dedovic and Zan Sisko remain in the backcourt, Bayern made a few moves over the summer to bring in some scoring power. Corey Walden reunites with Coach Andrea Trinchieri after a strong season with Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade. Ognjen Jaramaz also played under Trinchieri in Belgrade a couple of seasons ago and has come to Munich to strengthen the guard position. Sharpshooter Andreas Obst arrives from ratiopharm Ulm after averaging 11.0 points in the 7DAYS EuroCup last season, while Darrun Hilliard landed from CSKA Moscow, which he helped reach the Final Four. Young guns Joshua Obiesie and Jason George will provide depth in the backcourt for Bayern. The German team also brought in more experience at small forward with DeShaun Thomas, who will be playing his seventh EuroLeague season.
