Banchi will become new head coach of Efes, Mijatovic will be assistant. Ok, I can understand this decision but Banchi?!!! Where did he have elite result? He made good job at the WC with Latvia and that's it. 1/4 of WC is his best result. In Armani he was so bad. Like it's understatement to say he was bad there. In Kuban even worse. In Virtus had good 1st half of the season then barely secured play-in spot. We will see but anything above play-in will be miracle for Efes.

I think the idea was to bring someone, anyone, before the season is lost. Because it would be lost.
Withot HCA it will be almost impossible to reach F4 knowing that stone home teams will take 1st 4 spots, Oly, Pao and CZ are almost impossible to beat on their court, the weakest homecourt is maybe Monaco.

I won't comment Mijatovic anymore but guy is realy weird. at least
After loss against besiktas again and again the same mantra: "We need to correct our mistakes, which we will do, and we will fight in a way that befits the Anadolu Efes jersey". Day after this words they fired him.
Paradox is that I agree with him, every person has to work on his mistakes, but he never did that. He was just big mouth all the time, one of the biggest manipulator ever in EL. Larkin fired him

Efes is stronger than Red Star, they shoved that when they trashed them in Istanbul in last quarter. They have so much offensive talent like Larkin, Bryant, Beabois, new guy Dozier, Poirier, Smits/Osmani are good shooters. Banchi is good coach, he did miracles with average team like Virtus last season.
CZ is one of favorites for HCA because they have by far the easiest schedule in next 15 rounds

Ok, but Banchi? He couldn't control Clyburn and now he is expected to deal with all these players? In his whole career he doesn't have one really good achievement. Efes is just one win from the 4th spot, all signings are playing really bad or average at best, Larkin was missing almost whole season and Efes is over 50% wins...idk, we will see but for me this seems very stupid.
Relegation of Mijatovic back to bench, but above his previous role, is a step forward for all sides, imho.
Banchi indeed does not have a bright career but he has the HC rank and he now has 1/2 season to prove he belongs in the EL. I suspect Efes is already looking at options for the next year, but they wanted to salvage something from this year, as it was obvious that the team would not make the play-in otherwise. You could see it clearly in the games we lost vs Asvel, Monaco, Paris, etc. where the team collapsed entirely for long stretches.5 out 6 scientists say Russian roulette is safe.

I like Errick McCollum signing, his age is last what is important in this moment, Whoever watched last night game could have good lough on Mays passing, I mean guy is so comic that I can't even bash him. It's a proof that NBA isn't benchmark for quality in terms what EL system needs
