Euroleague/Club Competition 2020-21: Signings & Rumours - vol. I

[Killer Bob]

am I right to say Slovenia is unbeaten (14/0?) with Doncic?

You're right.

[janketa]

Djordjevic is the most underated coach in Europe imo. I was first here to mention his name, even before rumors, radallo knows

He will win EL sooner or later. I don't know it it will be with Fener or other team but he will. He is born winner.

[AmonRA]

it seems that jovic`s injury isnt naive, so markovic is now close to zvezda..

[bakas]

Janis Strelnieks to Žalgiris official.

[ZalgirisFanForLife]

If Mudiay comes to Zalgiris, the roster is done. Roster:
PG Mudiay, Kalnietis, Lekavicius
SG Strelnieks, Milaknis, Lukosiunas
SF Ulanovas, Giffey
PF Cavanaugh, Jankunas
C Lauvergne, Nebo, Blazevic

Everything will be on Mudiay's shoulders. If he develops into what he can (dominant inside scorer), he have the tools to win. There will be raining threes - sharpshooters like Cavanaugh, Giffey, Strelnieks, Milaknis, Lekavicius and Lukosiunas, decent shooters like Kalnietis, Ulanovas and Jankunas. We potentially will have a good defensive lineup with Mudiay, Kalnietis, Giffey, Ulanovas and Nebo, so when we will need a stop, we can get it (theoretically). PnR specialists like Kalnietis and Strelnieks can play with Lauvergne and Nebo (both very athletic). Ulanovas and Giffey can switch to PF and Milaknis can go to SF in special occasions. Pretty balanced lineup, with much experience and a couple interesting EL newcomers in Mudiay and Nebo. Well, if Mudiay will come, but he is close.

What do you guys think?

Finally some news about Anadolu Efes from the general Ataman himself:

1. There are 3 candidates for the center position and all 3 are waiting for the NBA. Latest date of signing will be in 3 weeks.
2. Ataman wanted a Turkish center too to build up a new Sertac Sanli and he named as I did Egemen Güven (this man knows how it works ) but he already signed with Bursaspor. Thats why Efes will be playing without a Turkish center this season.
3. Atamans intention is giving Saybir a big role in the Turkish league (as I said again). It was time.
4. Larkin is still injured and needs to rest 6 weeks.
5. A surprising move. 2001 born play maker Ömercan Ilyasoglu wont be loaned and he will also get more chances to prove himself. If he is not ready, he will be loaned later on. Ömercan is a pass first play maker resembles a lot Teodosic (not saying he is his successor just play style is similar). Offensively gifted but defensively a total liability.

Thanks for the update! Any clues as to who the three centers might be?

One is Landale the other candidates are unknown right now and all three are safe, the only obstacle is the NBA

Wonder if it might be Ömer Yurtseven if he gets cut from Miami. Probably the best (non Enes Kanter) Turkish center possibility.

Djordjevic to Fener is official, announced by the President

[janketa]

Good decision

He will have a problem that Kokoskov made roster for his strange system. As I said Djordjevic is underated coach, but he will need at least space to bring new pg and pf. Kokoskov made a big mistake with some signings again.

[janketa]

Seems that Larkin will stay in Efes and again he will miss first rounds like last season. So again Efes is in the game with the best overall duo in EL.

Tobey is perfect player for them imo, there was even rumor about him

[Toruko]

No, he is not an option. Not because they dont want him but Ataman wouldnt have said "we will play with foreign center this season (in the Turkish league)". I dont think that Yurt7 has what it needs to be in the NBA but he said always he doesnt want to return to Europe.

[Katastroika]

I consider this season crucial for Ömer. If some EL team rings he shouldn't even think.
