Buducnost Team News
In the last round, Buducnost experienced their first defeat away from home in the Eurocup, but that game best showed what kind of “visiting” team they are this season. Gran Canaria, after a great turnaround and a fight through extra time, defeated them with great difficulty. It was one of the toughest and most ineffective matches of the season. The score went to extra time 64:64.
This season, Buducnost decided on a different concept, without sonorous names. Last year’s MVP of the Turkish League, Alpha Kaba, arrived in Moraca, while Aaron White arrived from Zvezda, but he did not show himself in the best light, so he was replaced by former Monaco player J.J. O’Brien. Bell-Haynes, Booth, and perhaps the most famous name Cameron Reynolds arrived at the back positions. Jovanovic has two “specialists” in his team, Atic, and Lazic, who can cover defensively from 1-4.
However, Buducnost has not inspired confidence with its games lately, even though the results are not that bad. Victories were recorded in both competitions, but they failed every difficult test, except for the victory in Tel Aviv against Hapoel, where they won thanks to the great shooting clinic of Cam Reynolds, who hit 5 three-pointers from 5 attempts in the half. But the defeat by almost 30 points against Partizan showed all the shortcomings of Buducnost this season. As soon as the team speeds up and responds more energetically, Buducnost is in a trouble.
At the weekend, they had an easy job in Bar, where they defeated the home team Mornar in the Montenegrin derby by almost 30 points. The sailor is in trouble and tolerates Fatts Russell too much. For Buducnost, Reynolds was the most effective with 16 points, while Ilic and Atic added 12 each.
Turk Telekom Team News
What kind of form Turk Telekom is in this season is best shown by the fact that in both competitions, the Turkish championship and the Eurocup, they were defeated only three times in total. In the last 10 games, they experienced only one defeat and that was against one of the first favorites to win the Eurocup, Gran Canaria. They enter this match with three wins in a row, and they recorded their biggest win this season two weeks ago when they beat Fenerbahce away.
The Turk Telekom team is made up of a large number of local and experienced players such as Demir and Erden. But the Frenchman Bouteille is leading the charge, scoring an average of 16 points, as well as Tony Taylor and Jerian Grant. However, the biggest strength of this team is defense. Turk Telekom plays very aggressively and firmly in defense and often limits its opponents to below 70 points per game.
They are in great shape and have great chances in Moraca. In the last match in the Eurocup, they beat the London Lions with a difference of 28 points, and Sestina was the most effective with 20 points, while in the Turkish championship they defeated Gaziantep with a difference of 15 points, and Taylor added 21 points.
Buducnost vs. Turk Telekom Prediction
Buducnost plays better away from home this season than in Moraca, but we think that Turk Telekom can surprise and beat Buducnost in this match. A handicap of two points is a great “insurance” in a match that we expect to be one ball.
