Some Kevin Punter stats from last season:
3FG accuracy with less than 5 seconds in the shot clock: 42% (15-36)
same scenario..in the last Q4: 6/9
And this is from last night again.. He’s just doing it..

Literally carved their way out for the win against PAO.

Paris basketball is 6-0 in the Eurocup and they are leading the Offensive Rating charts in the competition 132.8 per 100 poss.
Coach Tuomas Lisalo just carried his established offensive system from Bonn to Paris.

The attitude of an NBA coach for a European player is so crucial. Vezenkov made the right choice to join Sacramento as his NBA destination. If your coach discusses things with you like that, the team is on the right track

1st offense of Virtus vs. ASVEL (currently 4-1 in EL, way above expectations)
1-Diamond formation, Belinelli comes out
2-Pitch back, Miami option,Hackett opts to pass and cut 45
3- Stagger/twirl
4- When Belinelli finally got the ball back, with plenty of options
So fruitful

Lorenzo Brown’s off-ball play is understated. Look at the wise cuts in the double drag to flare
Also in the second, he uses the staggered screens with an effective brush cut, set a 77 and position himself for an open 3.

Impressive comeback win by Baskonia. Some thoughts:
Despite not making a good start to the game, Baskonia just exposed Olympiacos defense with good off-ball movement and decoy plays.
Here is a punch-shuffle, clever cut by Chiozza.
Sedekerskis' overcut as a decoy, was crucial

So far, it is a delight to watch Virtus.
Iverson systems, stagger systems, punch offenses etc. working very well but most of all, the players are so aware of spacing and ball is moving constantly.
Most of the points scored via cuts. That’s Banchi’s fingerprint.

The flashy highlights are nice to observe but ZACCHARIE RISACHER main impact has been on defense.
He has the 2nd largest ON FLOOR DEF RATING DIFF in EUROCUP, +12 for Bourg.

Opponent 3FG when Risacher on floor:-6%

Look at Virtus. Shengelia, Hackett, Dunston, Belinelli, Iffe Lundberg. Basically with that roster that Scariolo complained about.. Same roster, just beat Partizan away. Had their eyes on 2nd place. They are F4 material.

This is one of the main way of creating shots for Besiktas. Dusan Alimpijevic called it 3,

The numbers are BIG.
Zalgiris main lineup against PAO&Efes

Euroleague last 10 rounds ON FLOOR DIFFERENCE:
TOP DEF RATING: Juancho Hernangomez, PAO, +21 (per 100 poss)
P Kalaitzakis, in the meantime, lowered opponent 3pt by %11 ON FLOOR.
PAO only giving 31% to opponents beyond the arc in the last 10 rounds. You can see why

Olympiacos has one of the most firmly established offensive systems of Europe. Handoff weavea, swings, 45 cutters constantly open space and backdoor options.
They need to figure out somehow to close the games out. It is a real issue for them, game after game and year after year

It's been a phenomenal season for Codi Miller-McIntyre with Baskonia so far. Already hit two game -winners.
Going deeper, the Assist-to-Usage rate is 2.05, which is the second best in the entire Euroleague, by Round 20.
Needs to improve PSA(point per shot attempt), though.

they repeatedly played variety on this action, no wonder how Obst thrived.

But this time Obst cuts away from the ball to overload the weakside. Fake twirl.

Excellent misdirection play from Oded Kattash(Maccabi) in crunch time.

Eurocup, Last 5 Weeks Lineup Efficiency:
Aris, Türk Telekom and Venezia with the Top3 lineups

Remarkable work from coach Selcuk Ernak and his staff

Serbia’s offense had some main pillars:
-Bogdanovic getting the ball off a flare screen is one of them. -Getting the other guard (Jovic, Avramovic) as a back-screen to play roll replace is another.
Look how Germany prepared themselves for that.

Overloads and away actions in the weakside becomes so much more effective against the pressure, when your ball handler makes wise, improvised decisions.
The court suddenly becomes so open.

Well, hard to disagree. It is fun to watch a super-talented player like Doncic to score 73 points. But…He scored 60 as well last season and Dallas failed to reach the playoffs. What’s the point other than pure entertainment, in a sense

The timing is interesting. After the season, it was very likely that they would part way but somehow he remained. Why now? Some promises unfulfilled? For better or worse, Scariolo’s tenure at Virtus was mediocre at best.

Ulm-Bonn was incredibly fun with a lot of intensity and quality X and Os.
Ulm’s Flare-Chin-Lob is one of them. Chin-Lob’s are quite functional this season as I saw a similar action from ALBA Berlin but this was Iverson entry, unlike Ulm’s case.

Euroleague Round 10, updated Offense-Defense Ratings Graph.
Some notes:
-Both Partizan and Anadolu Efes top 5 in offensive success, but struggling in defense, badly.
-Real Madrid is a team apart from other, in these metrics.
-ASVEL, ALBA, Baskonia long way to go to fix things.

When the two players are positioned for a stagger, and one of them resolves and gets a screen from the other, that is the BILBAO action. Usually comes up with stagger-twirl where the designated shooter goes through the screen, not around it. Like here:

Being present in the World Cup can change many things for you. Reath played at Crvena Zvezda during 20-21 after his initial stint with FMP, but could not force his way into upper echelons of European basketball. Now, he might become an NBA player.
The Portland Trail Blazers are signing free agent center Duop Reath on a one-year deal, sources tell ESPN. Reath was a starter for the Australia in the World Cup and played for the Blazers' summer league team. He played at LSU and has had stops in Serbia and China.

Despite playing only 5 games for Denizli, Olympiacos newcomer Moses Wright left a big impression in the BSL.
His Rim Shot% was almost 80, the best among the centers. (with 50 attempts minimum)

Don’t think Kendrick Nunn will necessarily bring better chemistry for Ataman. The offensive structures are still very vague
