ABA league 23/24

What an exhibition of young talents in Mega-Zvezda semifinals game. Djurisic, Topic, Jovic, Jelavic, Markovic, Miljenovic (that injury doesn't seem good)...

Djurisic is a machine. 26/4/5 vs Euroleague team. He owned however he liked a 10 year Euroleague veteran Lazic whose only purpose on basketball court is to defend like crazy. Djurisic just bullied him with ease. He put up a handful of crazy good games in a row in the last 2 months.

Topic getting back into rhythm. He is playing patiently with a lot of respect to his teammates, not forcing a lot of shots, playing within flow of the game. His threes look good, hit couple of them agian.

Filip Jovic continues to show a lot of promise, he has to keep working on outside shot. He can be really good if he develops outside shot combined with his athleticism and finishing ability around the rim. Big minutes coming for him next season.

6 teams from Serbia will participate in ABA league next season. There will be a change of total number of teams. Along with these 14 teams from this season, 2 more will be added - Dubai and Spartak. With Dubai in the mix, I expect that will raise competetiveness of the league because I can see both Partizan and Zvezda having strong rosters, then Buducnost will continue to improve and Cedevita should be a lot better next season. Now there is Dubai with a lot of money and big ambitions which probably means they will make a respectable roster from the begining. Mega will stay as one of the most talented young teams in whole Europe. There is a perspective for ABA league to become a lot stronger next season.

Few words on the final series - both Partizan and Zvezda suck really hard this season with Partizan sucking a little bit more, at least in ABA league. Both teams made bad rosters all over the place. However, I think Partizan has better perspective than Zvezda, at least in Euroleague, unless Zvezda makes changes in their entire sports management sector. I doubt Obradovic can fail 2 years in a row to make a compatible roster, while Zvezda has proven they are able to do so every season. LOL

Deserved win for Zvezda, they wanted it more. Obradovic failed completely this season in roster selection and inability to get something out of this team. Curious to see what changes they are gong to make next season. I'm not sure if Zvezda can survive one more season hoping that 38 y.o. Teo can bail them out. It worked in ABA league against dreadful Partizan, but I doubt it can work next year too. Not to mention Euroleague. I think in the long term Partizan will benefit much more from having Obradovic than Zvezda from having Covic and co. as their leaders, especially in the context of possibility to get a multiyear license from Euroleague.
