      Prepelič reportedly left for the chicken factory Banvit, offer to Peiners was withrawn, Australian NBL MVP Cedric Jackson was signed and Alex Stepheson reportedly had the chance to find himself an NBA club untill august the 1st. In the mean time since my last post Rupnik gained somewhere around 3 miligrams of body mass.

      PG: Jackson, Rupnik
      SG: Salin, ?
      SF: Gailius, Brodnik
      PF: ?, Murič (inj.), Bubnić
      C: Stephenson, Omić

      Due to citizenship restrictions selection kind of narrows it all down as there are no quality Slovenian PF's available anywhere on the market, while there are seemingly plenty of SG's... I expect an european stretch PF, 1 Slo citizenship SG and/or preferably some combo guard as Rupnik might gain a whole decagram of body mass untill the end of the season if he gets force fed, with one youngster added to the team as 12th man.

        Defensively, very weak on 4-5, but we will see how it looks after preparation under Radonjic...

              It's a helluva lineup, if they'll have good chemistry together.

              I hate the fact ABA site is barely updated, whichever amateur is leading the site, it's not on the expected level even if it they would be doing this for free.
              I tried to check out Cedevita and Cibona's roster and realised they barely succeded replacing Split with Mega Vizura. If this site is the mirror of profesional level of the league, than we have something to worry about. One of the most "amateur sites that shouldn't be like that", I've seen in last time...[rant/over]

                What you expect from site, when the league rules allowed that some team in "regular" phase,, could have 26-0, and then in 1/2 that team dont have any advantage, and if you lose that semifinal game, and in one game everything is possible, all yours 8-9 months drops in water...
                ABA league is the most irregular league in the whole world.

                  Cibona at moment

                  Blassingame, Junakovic
                  Janning, Kus
                  DJ, Rozic
                  Saric, Kuridza, Arapovic
                  D. Planinic, Zizic

                  Marko Ramljak or Tomislav Gabir most likley will be 12th player

                  Best Cibona starting 5 in years, but short bench with only Zizic with quality of starting 5.. But it can be mixed. Kus can help on PG, DJ on SG, Rozic and Ramljak (if he acepts Cibona ofer) Can help on PF
                  .....................................

                  Cedevita at moment

                  ........., Mustapic
                  M. Tomas, A. Delas, M. Bazdaric
                  Babic, I. Ramljak, Mazalin
                  ......., Bundovic
                  Bilan, Nurkic, Suton

                  For sure Cedevita will try to find PG and PF, posibly SG

                  A. Delas will play PG and SG as back up, Tomas will also play SF. Knowing Repesa Suton will also be used at PF

                  M. Mamic said Mazalin will be in first team. Well we will see is that truth. posibly Mustapic or Bundovic will be on loan, or bouth of them
                  Jordi Bertomeu sucks!

                    Thanks Pohani however I would expect the site to be more updated nevertheless.

                    Olimpija signed Nebojša Joksimović (Igokea last season), considering we're desperate for 7 Slovenians quota and for a combo guard, that's by far the best possible solution.
                    Kodi Augustus (PF 203cm) will come for tryout, a stretch agile PF, played in some minor leagues.

                    One more Slovenian is needed at 2, hoping for one of the young guys, Gregor Hrovat or M. Lapornik.


                    @Amonra; I agree with you, it's too big of an issue to ignore it.
                    However I don't really believe Igokea would have made everything neccesary to play in euroleague anyway, no matter the big words. Honestly, they've costed the ABA a team in euroleague qualifiers this time. As far as I am concerned, decisions shouldn't be left to the teams anymore untill it's too late, but at the end of the ABA season skip which ever team isn't able to fullfill all the EL criteria and pass the EL/qualies to the one that does.

                      Buducnost completed team with centar Jeleel Akindele, very good signing imo...
                      And that is now very respectable team, at least on paper

                      Capin, Ivanovic
                      Mihailovic, M. Popovic, Ivanov
                      A. Popovic, Sehovic, Mugosa
                      Vitkovac, Coleman, Subotic
                      Akindele, Komatina, Nikolic

                        A decent center was all they lacked the previous season. I'd somehow prefer Boost to Čapin but anyway.

                        Olimpija played two preparation games vs. Khimki, lost both the last one by 1 only, but young Croat Paolo Marinelli seems to be doing pretty well, scored 12 and 9. He hasn't signed yet with the team, but hopefully that would be the case in a short while.

                          Marinelli signed a 4 year deal with Olimpija. Now I hope that's not some sort of indication Dang Akodo would leave the team at the age of 18, while on the other hand the team seems too stacked at PG for the future with Rupnik (20), Marinelli (18) and Akodo (17)

                          Partizan signed another frenchman Boris Dallo, this guy has a tremendous upside in hands of a coach that knows his job. Seems like Partizan will develop the French NT tremendously within next years.

However out of my head Micov, Baynes, Thompson, Erceg and at least 2 other noticable US players I can't remember their name... have been playing there in non-Oly/Pao clubs in the past few years - when that happens with Feni, Rabotnički, MZT or some other Macedonian clubs... than I think the goddes of common sense might reconsider the strenght evaluation in favour of Macedonian clubs ...untill than, sorry for a wake up call, but seems neccesary
                            Josko,

                            Check ABA Standings below you will see the evaluation in favor of Macedonia Clubs against Slovenian Clubs. Just so you can see that there is evaluation....





                            7. MZT Skopje Aerodrom 14 12
                            8. Union Olimpija 13 13

                              I've moved the post as it's much more apropriate to continue the discussion here

                              First of all, what you've quoted was actually on the behalf of MZT's ridiciolous claim that without Oly and Pao Macedonian league is stronger than Greek one and in no relation with the Slovenian league, but if you insist....

                              MZT has done a great job last season and I don't intend to diminish that in any way. However when we are talking about league strenght or such, it's always a matter of depth (number of teams), organisation, tradition as well as continuosity, meaning one season rarely showcases the true comparison between various leagues, otherwise Adriatic league would be a top3 league in europe 3 years ago. It isn't/wasn't as reality is somehow different.

                              I'm not in particular interested in which league is better one. I know Slovenian is in decline for a decade now, after we had 3 among euro top50 clubs around 2000 (Olimpija, Krka and Laško). At this moment the economical situation in the country is a dissaster and with the blind and deaf left goverment will continue to be so. Olimpija is in the final stage of repaying it's enormous debts and ended the last season with bigger profit than the team left would earn within a season, Krka's management are "seljaci" (my apologies to Krka's fans, not going into that Krka vs. Olimpija stuff, just stating my strong belief) that aren't capable of running a serious team, Laško group should bankrupt but still held alive somehow due to some bank coke-heads repetitous cheap loans, their team isn't getting any stronger accordingly, Helios factory is about to get sold, the future of the team is uncertain, Slovan kind of merged with Olimpija as they weren't able to continue on their own and with the economic climate even the guys that have the money aren't willing to invest it as they prefer waiting. With all those issues I couldn't care less if Slovenian league is stronger than Macedonian league as that's a "pyrrhic victory" no matter which league wins, they both still suck...

                                I agree, we (Slovenia and Macedonia) still suck when compared with Greece. Offcourse Slovenia is still in front of Macedonia as we have only 1 good team (MZT). But yeah, there is progress in the Macedonian League, hopefully more teams will join ABA in the next couple of years.
