I hope that mid table teams will bring to the surface new protagonist players to make this season even more entertaining

Dubai is a CONTENDER, Valencia is at least MID, Efes might need to drop to MID, Besiktas is a SLEEPER.

Ok wait wait wait if you put Barcelonas boolshit line up , and have in mind that they have a dirty rag Sekulič as a coach as a sleeper , than Real and Žalgiris should be atleast contenders. If Barca would have Žalgiris line up uou would be ou its atleast contenders, I dont get , Barca would be in 14 place max this season
@dariusmockus4157Partizan has a one biggest play majker
@VPetr-t7qPartizan is not coked❌❌
@VPetr-t7q38:55 By the end of the season, you'll want to take back your words. By the way our SF isn't Anthony Brown, it's DaQuan Jeffries.
@BlackWall1903I would swap hapoel for dubai, or maybe just push dubai up, i think dubai is going to be huge this season. But in general i think you did a great job with this ranking
@BBallNewbiethe only thing i would change is zalgiris contender
@UNKNOWN-h4t4tFor all those that wonder how many balls will Panathinaikos need, a small reminder:
Not too long ago, Zeljko as a coach in PAO at some point he had Diamantidis, Spanoulis and Jasicevicious at the same time on court! And one ball was enough! So for those wondering the answer is: Zeljko. He knows! And we will soon find out. Can't wait!
This is farting into the water....
@free33runerYou have doubts if this starting line up of Oly is an all star? Wtf,but Pao without any defence balance as last year too is a straight all star? Aee we talking basketball now or just names
@stevekesedakisstormchasing7Hapoel u pronaunce Hapo and then it's the sound of the way u say the letter L. Hapo-L, the best way for u to say it is to try say Hapo and then elevator after but obviously don't say the levator part.
@bugicraft3922olympiakos is not a monster
@cmyetkinThis Oly lineup has 2025-26 season’s
Top scorer
Assists leader
Rebounds leader
Regular season mvp
Playoffs mvp
F4 mvp
Greek finals mvp
ACB finals mvp
I will only say about Oly and Pana because as a Greek these teams i know more.
Your starting 5s are so wrong on both 😅
o OSFP exei 9995 titlous olwn twn katigoriwn omadikous titles......OLYMPIACOS the biggest club
@kostaspapadakis1324OLYMPIAKOS 9995 titles
@kostaspapadakis1324I wont judge because its starting 5s rating, even some of them were wrong (the players choices).
But if we talk about the teams including the bench, then for sure you need some changes!
Dubai up, Valencia up at least mid, Zalgiris up maybe..
☘️ Ομπράντοβιτς
@ΓΙΑΝΝΗΣΓΙΑΝΝΕΛΗΣ-κ9ιfor a coach like bartzokas i find it very tough having montero codi and fournier playing at the same time, maybe situationally against some teams that arent as good offensively or dont have size advantage or both, as for nunn and cisco i can see them playing together if they allow pana playing with 2 balls instead of 1 unless obradovic somehow manages to make nunn happy playing as an offball scorer and cisco happy with him being a passer first scorer second which, i kinda doubt? but i guess if a coach had the gravity to pull something like that, it would be obradovic.
@garryarganis5801In my opinion, Red Star has a contender starting 5 while Partizan is still far away from finishing their starting five. If Partizan gets Lonnie Walker and a forward like Beauchamp, they might have legit starting five.
But considering the whole roster and chemistry probability, Partizan might be a contender (of course only with 2 more good signings)
Yall gotta stop sleeping on tosan Evbuomwan he’s a beast
@NBANews-uf2igPanathinaikos had a million problems last season, sharing the ball might be the least of them, if at all. Shorts and Nunn was the nest duo in the guards according to the numbers and the standings, when they didn't play much together in the second half of the season is when PAO sunk.
@dimitra2742There is no way that's Panathinaikos staring five 😂
@antonispetridesThe fact that Saras is coaching Fener makes these two incredibly uncomfortable and their comments are nowhere near objective. Also, starting a backcourt of Larkin, Baldwin and THT together? Unbelievable, Saras would laugh his ass off at you.
@Ertunga.gim a hardcore maccabi tel aviv fan maccabi is cooked
@yivgeninikolchook5788Hapoel certainly belongs to the contenders, don't dolubt about that, i believe your ranking is great! Maybe you could have added a 6th player for Olympiakos, to represent the referee(s) they always get help from.
@MikeB-13I could not stop laughing when you started with Baskonia... 😂😂
@MikeB-13If you're going to relegate Efes to a lower rank, you should also relegate Barcelona to a lower rank. Efes and Barcelona are not on the same level.
@halilozyValencia will be top 6, and TJ Shorts is going to go back to Paris era performance.
@bele-époqueAs a Fener fan, I agree with you except Efes and Hapoel. They both should be at legit level
@mehmeteminacar8434What about the coaches ? Dont they play a big role too? - Thanks for remembering the bugs bunny + MJ movie - i was in the USA in november 96 and watched it twice.
@NikosJesusWhat is wrong with Valanchiunas deffence on the EL basketball level?
@mbacanovicGuys.. stop thinking about the clicks and comments and be honest. How can CRVNA ZVEZDA be a contender when Real and Zalgiris aren't?!
Also - no comment on how many balls are required for your starting 5 for Olympiakos. Veze may be off-ball but still has 25% usage..
I think Dubai will be a contender this year. Top 5 team that will fight for F4. Very likely signing more defensive guards next to M.Wright. Like in some other teams we don't know who will be the starter in some positions.
M Wright
Musa
Bacon
Shengelia
Kabengele
Is a really strong team... AND they have a seasoned coach - one of the best in Euroleague this year. This also matters. It's not the same if I coach these 5 and if Xavi does.
Zalgiris will disappointing many... Valanciunas is barely ex-basketball player and theyre lose 2 key players from last season team - Francisco and Moses Wright.
@Karma-ck5yiBarcelona's starting 3 is tyrese martin not umude
@ptora1419I think though, it’s gonna be : Francisco / Nunn / Bonga / Davis / Yabusele
@Louk97Panathinaikos 👎👎
Olympiacos 👎👎
Zalgiris - Monstars
Kalbate europos rinkai, ne amerikos
@donatassaudargas3443Kalbekit angliskai, ne amerikoniskai
@donatassaudargas3443Zvezda up hapoel down
@SrkiTheBoySwap Žalgiris with Hapoel and put Maccabi in mid
@Hi_im_NorthwindStarting five: McIntyre, Dorsei, Hezonja, Sasa, Milou then Montero, Fournie, Ward, New signing, Jones or Hall.
@michalis6Shengelia will be in start of course what petrusev 😂. Shengelia is better player and pascual also was his coach
@rezourushadze2880Zvezda not even legit
@muratsungur9496Ward easily starts in Oly, he is the small forward
@luislima3476Το συγκριτικό πλεονέκτημα του φετινού Παναθηναϊκού είναι ότι έχει τους περισσότερους two way παίκτες από κάθε άλλη ομάδα στην Ευρωλίγκα.Το κλειδί όμως που θα τον ανεβάσει ποιο ψηλά είναι η συνεργασία Φρανσίσκο Ναν.Αν καταφέρει να βρει ισορροπία εκεί τοτε θα φτάσει πολύ ψηλά.
