Paris Basketball continued building its roster by signing power forward Mikael Jantunen for the next two seasons. Jantunen (2.04 meters, 23 years old) played for Nutribullet Treviso in the Italian League last season and averaged 8.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.0 steal per game. 

Paris lands Finnish star Mikael Jantunen

Paris Basketball continued building its roster by signing power forward Mikael Jantunen for the next two seasons. Jantunen (2.04 meters, 23 years old) played for Nutribullet Treviso in the Italian League last season and averaged 8.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.0 steal per game.

Jantunen first attracted attention at Helsinki Basketball Academy before heading overseas to play college basketball at the University of Utah. After two seasons with the Utes, Jantunen returned to Europe with Oostende, which he helped to the Belgian League championship in 2022 and was chosen as the league´s top sixth man. Now Jantunen will make his BKT EuroCup debut with Paris.

"Mikael is a player we have been following for a long time. This summer was the right time for both parties and I'm very happy that he chose us over many other great opportunities," Coach Tuomas Iisalo said on the club's website. "His favorite position is a power forward, but he has the speed, strength and toughness to defend different positions. He combines a high basketball IQ with good natural instincts. A rare combination, especially for a young developing player. His high-level experience is a big plus."

A perennial candidate to go all the way in the BKT EuroCup, this season Joventut Badalona will have to adapt to the loss of many key pieces from last season's successful run. This is a challenge that the club is used to, so 2023-24 will be familiar territory for a team that will find severe obstacles in Group A. On paper, Penya remains a favorite to qualify for the postseason, but it will not be an easy trip. Here's a look at some of the key games along the way:

A perennial candidate to go all the way in the BKT EuroCup, this season [Joventut Badalona](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/teams/joventut-badalona/roster/jov/?season=2023-24) will have to adapt to the loss of many key pieces from last season's successful run.

On paper, Penya remains a favorite to qualify for the postseason, but it will not be an easy trip. Here's a look at some of the key games along the way:

[Joventut Badalona full schedule](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/teams/joventut-badalona/games/jov/?season=2023-24)

[Round 1: Joventut Badalona vs. Besiktas Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2023-24/joventut-badalona-besiktas-istanbul/U2023/5/#comparison)

Already in Round 1, Joventut will have a distinctive visitor in Besiktas Istanbul, a historic club that is returning to the EuroCup for the first time since 2015-16. This will be just the third time these two teams meet each other in the EuroCup; their last encounters came in the 2009-10 season. On that occasion, Joventut swept their regular season games and the Catalan team will now look to continue that trend to start the new season on the right foot.

[Round 8: Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv vs. Joventut Badalona](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2023-24/hapoel-tel-aviv-joventut-badalona/U2023/75/#comparison)

In Round 8, Joventut will have one of the toughest trips in the group with a visit to Israel to play against Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv. Last season, these teams met each other in the quarterfinals and Joventut took the 82-74 home win that granted it a ticket to the semifinals. The grudge is there for Hapoel, which was one of the surprising teams in its maiden EuroCup campaign last season. Joventut can expect one of the hottest atmospheres in the league and a tough bone to chew on when it faces Hapoel in Tel Aviv.

For the last game of the regular season, Joventut will have to travel to face Prometey Slobozhanske, another of the biggest surprises in the EuroCup last season. The Ukrainian team had a very good run and it will try to, at least, repeat the same performance this time. In 2022-23, Joventut and Prometey split their regular season meetings, but when Round 18 comes, they will have already played also in Round 9. If everything goes according to plan, both teams should be qualified for the following phase at this point, but if they aren't, expect a high-caliber duel between two great teams playing for big bucks.

Considered to be an outstanding defensive player, Mejeris is a three-time Latvian League champion with VEF Riga and was named the MVP of the finals in two of those seasons. Mejeris returns to the EuroCup for the first time since the 2014-15 season when he played for Riga in his native Latvia. He has also suited up for Liepajas Lauvas in Latvia; Fuenlabrada, Burgos and Clavijo in Spain; Elan Chalon in France, Parma Perm in Russia, and Pesaro in Italy.

Entering its fifth season in the BKT EuroCup – its third campaign in a row – Slask Wroclaw will be hoping to vastly improve on last year's 1-17 regular-season record, the worst in the competition. In fact, over the last two seasons, the Polish team has gone 4-30 in the EuroCup, so a major uptick is required if it is to reach the playoffs. Slask has been placed into Group B in the 2023-24 EuroCup and it will be eyeing a few big scalps during the campaign.

Slask Wroclaw: 2023-24 EuroCup games to watch

Entering its fifth season in the EuroCup – and its third campaign in a row – [Slask Wroclaw](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/teams/slask-wroclaw/roster/wro/?season=2023-24) will be hoping to vastly improve on last year's 1-17 regular-season record, which was the worst in the competition. In fact, over the last two seasons, the Polish team has gone 4-30 in the EuroCup, so a major uptick is required if it is to reach the playoffs. Slask has been placed into Group B in the 2023-24 EuroCup and it will be eyeing a few big scalps during the campaign.

[Round 2: Slask Wroclaw vs. U-BT Cluj-Napoca](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2023-24/slask-wroclaw-u-bt-cluj-napoca/U2023/20/)

Slask has to wait for the second round of the season to play its first game at Centennial Hall, its legendary arena. Since returning to the EuroCup in the 2021-22 season, following a 14-year absence, Slask has gone 0-17 on the road. All four of its wins over the last two campaigns have come at home, so it will be vital that the Polish team can turn Centennial Hall into a fortress in the coming season, starting with the visit of U-BT Cluj-Napoca.

[Round 8: Slask Wroclaw vs. 7Bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2023-24/slask-wroclaw-7bet-lietkabelis-panevezys/U2023/77/)

In late November, Slask hosts 7Bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys at Centennial Hall. It should be a special occasion for new Lietkabelis head coach Roberts Stelmahers, as he returns to the club where he won a Polish League title and a Polish Super Cup as a player in the 1999-2000 season. Stelmahers spent just one year at Slask, but the point guard is still fondly remembered in Wroclaw and he should receive a good reception from the fans. Slask will hope to make it a disappointing return for Stelmahers, however, by grabbing a win against his Lietkabelis side.

[Round 15: Dolomiti Energia Trento vs. Slask Wroclaw](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2023-24/dolomiti-energia-trento-slask-wroclaw/U2023/148/)

The Slask fans were only able to see their team record one win during the 2022-23 EuroCup season, with that being an 80-57 triumph over Dolomiti Energia Trento in Round 9. When the Polish side heads to Italy in Round 15, Slask will be looking to once again defeat this Trento, this time on the Italian team's home patch. Slask may bring an end to its two-season run without a road win before this fixture, but a triumph at Trento could give Coach Oliver Vidin's charges some extra momentum heading into the final few games of the season.

The week in EuroCup signings

What a week for comings and goings in the BKT EuroCup, with no less than 24 transactions over the past seven days! Thirteen different teams were involved in the signing frenzy, and seven teams penned deals with multiple players. Here’s a look at all the major signings in the EuroCup between July 18 and 24. 

 

### Buducnost retooled with four new faces 

No team was busier this past week than Buducnost VOLI Podgorica, which added four newcomers to its roster, giving head coach Petar Mijovic 12 players under contract. The first two additions were players with EuroCup experience, as high-scoring guard [Allerik Freeman](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/buducnost-tabs-scoring-ace-allerik-freeman/) and veteran big man [JaCorey Williams](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/jacorey-williams-seals-move-to-buducnost/) were announced on Tuesday and Thursday, respectively. Over the weekend, Buducnost announced deals with playmaker [McKinley Wright](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/buducnost-signs-playmaker-mckinley-wright/), who will play in Europe for the first time, and Italian League MVP [Colbey Ross](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/buducnost-brings-in-italian-league-mvp-colbey-ross/), who also plays point guard. Like all teams being built, finding the right chemistry with so much backcourt talent may take time, but Buducnost's guard rotations will be something to keep an eye on.

### Ulm makes its first moves 

Until now, ratiopharm Ulm had been slow in making signings this summer, but this week it added three new players, two of which will play in Europe for the first time. Center [Trevion Williams](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/ulm-adds-size-with-trevion-williams/) and forward [L.J. Figueroa](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/ulm-inks-athletic-forward-lj-figueroa/) both played in the G League last season and have the speed and versatility that coach Anton Gavel likes to see in his charges. The other addition is a big name, though how much of an impact he has this season remains to be seen. [Noa Essengue](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/ratiopharm-ulm-invests-in-young-prospect-noa-essengue/) is just 16 years old and is one of the top prospects his age in Europe. He signed a dual contract so that he can continue playing with the junior team while growing with Ulm’s first team.  

### Reyer goes to France 

Umana Reyer Venice has grabbed two players who shined in the French League last season. [Aamir Simms](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/reyer-signs-forward-aamir-simms/) made his debut in the EuroCup last season with Paris Basketball, playing an important role as the team advanced to the EuroCup Quarterfinals. [Barry Brown Jr.](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/barry-brown-jr-heads-to-reyer-venezia/), meanwhile, suited up alongside Victor Wembanyama at Metropolitans 92, which he helped get to the French League Finals after starting the season with the New Zealand Breakers and helping it reach the NBL Finals. In between, Venice signed swingman [Alex O’Connell](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/reyer-venezia-signs-explosive-swingman-alex-oconnell/), who will play in Europe for the first time. With these moves, coach Neven Spahija now has 12 players under contract for the coming season.  

Aamir Simms stood out in his BKT EuroCup debut season with Paris Basketball.

### Prometey plucks prime-time players 

After reaching the EuroCup Semifinals last season, Prometey Slobozhanske showed it means business as it enters its second campaign in the competition.  The signings of [Arnoldas Kulboka](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/arnoldas-kulboka-joins-prometey-slobozhanske/) at forward and swingman [Davon Reed](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/prometey-signs-swingman-reed/) give coach Ronen Ginzburg two more exciting weapons to build around. Kulboka put up impressive numbers in his maiden season in the EuroCup with Promitheas Patras and Reed spent last season with the Los Angeles Lakers. Could they be the players who put Prometey over the top? 

 

### London makes double Morgan move 

The London Lions signed a pair of players last week with the last name Morgan. First, on Wednesday, [Conor Morgan](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/conor-morgan-signs-for-london-lions/) joined the English club, bringing experience and outstanding shooting to the power forward spot. Then, on Thursday, [Matt Morgan](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/london-lions-bring-in-scorer-matt-morgan/)'s move was announced, following the high-scoring point guard's strong season in the French League last year. They are certain to have key roles as London looks to take another step forward in its second go-around in the EuroCup this season.  

Conor Morgan averaged 10.2 points and 6.5 rebounds in 11 BKT EuroCup games with Slask Wroclaw last season.

### Veterans check in 

Joventut and Cedevita both signed deals with experienced players. The former signed [Deshaun Thomas](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/joventut-badalona-adds-experienced-forward-deshaun-thomas/), while the latter penned a deal with [Sean Armand](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/cedevita-lands-experienced-guard-armand/). Thomas has spent eight seasons in the EuroLeague with seven different teams, and Armand returns to the EuroCup for the first time since 2019. Meanwhile, U-BT Cluj-Napoca kept an important piece for its frontline by re-signing center [Andrija Stipanovic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/cluj-and-veteran-center-andrija-stipanovic-stay-together/) for another season.
