Solomon and later on Kinsey made a big impact on that team, and are more valuable than Green and Smith, which makes, for me, last year's Fener a better team. But anyhow, I certainly didn't mean Joventut was BY FAR and without a question a much better team that couldn't be defeated. Hey, Pao were out of QFs... so...anything can happen. What I did mean the basketball they played throughout most of the season and the level of their players was one of the best in Europe. When it comes to Fener, especially since Bogdan arrived, I have nothing but HUGE respect. Any team with big money that goes for young talents and give them the full stage out of choice and not constraint is a blessed one, and I think there's only one club in Europe now matching that description... On top of that...if Fener finds the right leading foreigners for next season, to take Smith, Green and Giricek (if he's not recovered....), they could be a serious F4 contender.

I was mocked time after time in the ACB forums for that. So...you can feel safe:) Yep, he's a tough son of a gun...coaches love that and I guess it will help them pick him when the moment comes, bcz his outside shooting is still not a big tool for him, and that create problems if you don't build your team correctly right from the start.

Well you're right about his positive development in the last years (though he always had this one special skill you can't train and which makes the difference: utterly fighting spirit!) but maybe or hopefully you're not right about this one-way-street from BBL to ACB or at least from Alba to an ACB-Team. For sure after these eyecatching perfomances he aroused the interest of GM's all over europe, but Alba will have his say in the upcoming battle for iMac. Maybe Alba-GM Marco Baldi should be clever and renew the contract of iMac's buddy Aleksander Nadjfeij at first (they played together for Cologne and after the insolvency of REK last year together they brought the championship to Berlin) so iMac would be faced with Hobson's choice. Nadjfeij and iMac combined are a congenial bballforce! ;) “Immanuel following Demond?”… as a Fan of Alba Berlin i hope you’re not an oracle!
