Olimpija:

PG: Waters, Ranniko, Rupnik/Močnik
SG: Salin, Prepelič
SF: Blažič, Murič
PF: Page, Bubnić
C: Baynes, Omić

They're looking for one more athletic, defensive minded SF if they'll find an affordable one.

Considering the draw, I don't expect all that much from this team from the result point of view, but with Salin, Blažič, Prepelič, Omič this team unlike most others has a good upside for the future years, personaly I wouldn't count out Murič either. Towards the end of the season, if everything goes in the right direction they might even battle for euroleague through adriatic league. Some luck would be needed, but as I said talented players could overcome such leap.

I really like frontcourt of Page and Baynes, they are both steals and complement each other well. Not sure about Waters. The future is bright with Omic, Prepelic and Blazic, if they can hold onto them.

Nice to hear that about our frontcourt, as I know I can trust your judgement on this :)
I'm mostly concerned about the defensive aspects on PG, PF, C. Can't really say about Baynes and Page, but Omić definately needs season, two, not sure weather Ranniko can play defensively as good as he did before and Waters is a big questionmark for me.
 
Žalgiris:

PG: Kalnietis, Laffayette
PG/SG: Popovic, Juškevicius
SG: Kaukėnas
SG/SF: Lipkevičius
SF: Darden, Kuzminskas
PF: K. Lavrinovičius, Jankūnas, Delas
C: Javtokas, D. Lavrinovičius

Coach: Plaza

Javtokas out for 4-6 months, so one more big man may be added.
 
Olympiakos Peiraeus B.C.

PG:Sloukas,Law,Katsivelis
SG:Spanoulis,Gecevicius,Mantzaris
SF:Perperoglou,Papanikolaou
PF:Printezis,Antic
C:Mavroeidis,Hines,Dorsey
 
tell me someone where Cedevita Zagreb will play euroleague home games? in which arena?

Drazen Petrovic arena. Much smarter thinking then KK Zagreb. They can always move to Arena Zagreb if itrest of fans becomes bigger
 
REAL MADRID

PG: Draper, S.Rodriguez
SG: Llull, Carroll,
SF: Rudy Fernandez, Suarez, Pocius
PF: Mirotic, Reyes
C: Begic, Slaughter

Llull can play as SG or PG, and Rudy as SF or SG.


Real Madrid has a lot of talent (Llull, Carroll, Rudy, Mirotic), but unfourtunately lacks a TOP frontcourt player to be a clear F4 team.

Real Madrid did the effort of signing Rudy Fernandez from NBA, however they lost nice a nice balanced frontcourt (Tomic, Velickovic left).

Rudy + Draper + Slaughter vs Tomic + Velickovic+ Singler
 
Competition and depth is good thing, but too many players fighting for same position can have devastating effects to the lockeroom. Real has 7 quality perimeter players, who all expect to be in rotation and play. Frontcourt looks Cajasol-ish with fading Reyes and solid, albeit unspectacular Begic and Slaughter. They should really look to off-load one of thier guards and add quality player in the frontcourt.
 
Partizan has completed roster for the following season

Westermann/Thomas
Milosavljevic/Andjusic/Bogdanovic
Bertans/Cakarevic
Gordon/Lucic/Djekic
Gagic/Musli
 
Fenerbahce

1) bo mccalebb - bariŞ ermİŞ
2) romaİn sato - ömer onan
3) bogdanovic - preldzic
4) david andersen - İlkan karaman
5) mike batİste - oĞuz savaŞ
 
Beşiktaş 2012/2013

1/2 : Curtis Jerrels - Tutku Açık - Can Akın - Kartal Özmızrak
2/3 : Patrick Christopher - Serhat Çetin - Muratcan Güler
3/4 : Vladimir Dasic - Damir Markota
4 : Cevher Özer - Barış Hersek
5 : Gasper Vidmar

If Vidmar takes Turkish passport we will sign a Center.

Markota is 4 (PF), haven`t played on SF position since youth level.

Yes i know that but this year occasionally he can play 3. We have got very interesting squad this year.We are rich in PG and PF but poor in SG and C. Thats why we have some matchup advantages and disadvantages.
 
I wouldn't advise putting Markota on SF defensively, considering how many teams barely distinguish a SG and SF (apart from those 2-3 cm of height) in reality lately. Even more with not all that much better Dašić's perimeter defense as the other SF. Even one of those two meant as a SF would imo be wrong decision, yet could be survivable in some out of the ordinary defensive scheme, but having both on SF is definately out of the question for an euroleague team. Opponents would build their whole game on attacking through SF, that could easily represent too much of a missmatch to handle.

is it the same Baynes, who played in Lrytas couple of years ago? if it is, i wouldnt call him a steal as he was beyond terible some years ago.
 
Rumours in Croatia is that Cedevita will give try out contract to Curtis Stinson after Daniel Ewing turned down their ofer and also deals with Ilijevski and Markovic didn't work out

Don't know if is Stinson, but Maljkovic confirmed that it will be US PG and that will complete their rooster

Not sure what to think, he showed some quality in Krka but got injured at beginnig of season

Green, Stinson or some other US PG
Wright, Bazdaric, Car
(Tomas) Gelabale, Babic
Suput, Buva
Andric, Bilan, Suton

Well if US PG duo shows good than Cedevita should be far more competitive team then Zagreb and Cibona were last 2 years. PF could aso be problematic spot if Buva doesn't show he can play at such level. Intresting athletic PF who can shoot spot up 3's and is good shot blocker, some kind mix of Zoric and Zubcic, but not much brain. But I guess Andric and Suton can help at PF. Bilan could be bigest surprise for Cedevita as he showed rapid impruvments trough last season and it will be intresting can he continiue like that
 
PG: Farmar, Tunceri, Dogus
SG: Gordon, Guler
SF: Vujacic, Batuk
PF: Savanovic, Gonlum, Kuqo
C: Erden, Barac, Batista

Although Farmar and Tunceri both are PG, i expect them to play together in decider minutes of the matches. Also, i guess Mahmudi would have at least one of them on the court in any part of the game. Batuk and Balbay are not ready for EL games, especially Batuk... Balbay would give you some toughness but i don't think Mahmudi would give him minutes...

On the frontcourt, we are strong. Savanovic and Erden look quiet good although Erden has no basketball IQ. :D I hope Barac would play like a C this year, not like a 1.70' guard... I hope no concerns about Gonlum's performance. Best professional so far.

Let's see what we are gonna do this year. Hope for a F8 first...
