— I think that there is no evident pretournament favorite and outsiders. It is difficult to evaluate the strength of our regular season group the acquirement of one player can change the situation in clubs. – said the BC Khimki general director Victor BYCHKOV. – Turkish “Besiktas” – it is a club of big traditions. Last year this team played well in ULEB Cup and won the regular season of national championship. If the roster will save, “Besiktas” will be difficult opponent.

The team “Orlandina” will play its fifth season in Italian Lega A. Our old friend Gianmarco Pozzecco wind up his sporting career in this team.

The fourth team can become Yriumph from Lyubertsy, which will play in qualification round.
We are on a mission this season, which is winning the Eurocup, and we will do all that we can to lift the trophy."
