[Yago Dos Santos, ratiopharm Ulm](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/yago-dos-santos/012044/) **(10.2 credits)** – One of the many pleasant surprises in the EuroCup this season. Dos Santos comes off a stellar performance against Prometey: 26 points, 10 assists, 8 fouls drawn and a PIR of 39.

[Gyorgy Goloman, 7Bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys ](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/gyorgy-goloman/011932/)**(8.6 credits) –** Goloman had a great game against Cedevita in Round 6, going for 23 points, 4 rebounds and a PIR of 29, which was more than in his previous five games combined (26 PIR). His off-the-charts shooting percentages (72.2% 2FG, 45.5% 3FG) make him an interesting option at center. 

[Jerian Grant, Turk Telekom Ankara](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/jerian-grant/011204/) **(11.7 credits)** – First, Turk Telekom Ankara is on a five-game winning streak. Second, Grant has been sensational lately, getting 18 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and a PIR of 28 against Promitheas in Round 5. His team faces difficult Gran Canaria and Grant should be ready for a big game.

Gegic is only getting better and better. 

[Caleb Agada, Prometey Slobozhanske](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/caleb-agada/011944/) **(11.8 credits) –** Gian Clavell and D.J. Stephens often get noticed, but Agada has been doing an excellent job lately. In the last three EuroCup games, Agada has averaged 18.3 points, 4.3 fouls drawn and a PIR of 18.0, all in less than 19 minutes on the floor. With extra playing time, the sky is the limit.

EuroCup Fantasy tips: Regular Season Round 7

 Kenny Gabriel, Brescia: 'The key for us is to protect the paint' 

### Germani Brescia head coach Alessandro Magro 

"We will face a very talented team that is playing very good, especially at home. They won three EuroCup games at home thanks to their size and talent. They are very organized and aggressive on defense, so we will face a tough defense. We have to move and share the ball on offense to find the best shot possible. On the other side, they are a sizeable team. They can play post-up, they are able to attack using ball screens, so we must be very sharp on ball-screen defense to limit their offense, and we have to prevent and fight on post-ups to try to compete on the road."

### Germani Brescia player Kenny Gabriel

"I think the game is going to be a good one, definitely a good one for us. They have a lot of size, a lot of big bodies. I think the key for us is to protect the paint and get out on their shooters, and then get out and run the transition and just play the way we've been playing these last couple of games. Just stay solid and make sure that we communicate on defense."

 Carles Duran, Joventut: 'It's a dangerous rival' 

### Joventut Badalona head coach Carles Duran:

"We're coming off a home loss and we have to try to return to adding wins to stay high in the standings. This is a difficult trip to play an opponent whose style of play could be tough on us. They play with a short rotation but those who play have important roles. Patrick Richard is playing very well either at point guard or shooting guard and Leo Meindl is very important for them. What's more, they have players with EuroLeague and EuroCup experience like Nemanja Gordic. It's a dangerous rival."

### U-BT Cluj-Napoca head coach Mihai Silvasan:

"We will face a team that is the favorite to win the 7DAYS EuroCup. They have an amazing tradition and they played many years in the Euroleague. Badalona makes it to the Spanish playoffs every season, but they are a team we want to play against. We hope to have a good game and even win. Our guys are really motivated, we trained well and we are optimistic."

### U-BT Cluj-Napoca guard Nemanja Gordic:

"I believe we will play against one of the top teams in the 7DAYS EuroCup. They play really good basketball and they have experienced players. Badalona has had the same coach for years, which is an advantage. It will be a challenge for us, but we will give our best."

Joventut Badalona big man Simon Birgander will miss some upcoming games after undergoing surgery to repair a broken finger on his right hand.

Joventut loses Birgander to injury

Joventut Badalona big man [Simon Birgander](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/simon-birgander/009682/) will miss some upcoming games after undergoing surgery to repair a broken finger on his right hand. Birgander, 25, suffered the injury in a Spanish League game on Saturday. In six 7DAYS EuroCup appearances this season, he is averaging 7.0 points and 5.7 rebounds in 21 minutes per game. His top performance of the season came in Round 5, when he had 11 points, 10 rebounds and a career-high 5 blocks in leading Joventut to a 54-68 road win at ratiopharm Ulm.

### Umana Reyer Venice head coach Walter De Raffaele:

"In my opinion, Bursaspor is the team that plays the most intense and incisive basketball in the entire EuroCup. Great pace and 86 points per game tell a lot about the effectiveness of their fastbreak and three-point shooting. They were finalists last season. Point guard Needham and guards Clemmons and Bitim are each on the court for over 30 minutes and are able to create a shots in few seconds. Besides these go-to-guys with great offensive talent, a key player for them is Dudzinski, a power forward who plays in the frontcourt and backcourt with the same efficiency and is also an excellent defender and rebounder. We'll need a game of high concentration on the opponent's individual characteristics and intensity for 40 minutes to try to match their competitive spirit."

 

 

### Umana Reyer Venice forward Jordan Parks:

"This is a very important part of our season. We have to work on bouncing back. I think we showed a moment of that in the Brescia game. A strong point for really good teams is being able to play on the road and take advantage at home and we haven’t done that well. I think this back-to-back so quick is gonna tell us a lot about ourselves."

### Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse head coach Frederic Fauthoux:

"We've got only big games in this group. Prometey has a lot of individual qualities on its team, great athletes, quality shooters. We will have to put on a big game. It was awesome in Badalona, but to validate what we have started to build, it's very important to win again at home."

### Prometey Slobozhanske head coach Ronen Ginzburg:

"Bourg has good shooters and good big men, so it's difficult. We see it in their results; first in the group. Also defensively, they are a very good team. As it happens, we are now missing important players at the point guard position. It'll be tough game. Bourg has everything: big men, guards, good shooters. They play good inside, they have good athletes. It's a very good team."

### Prometey Slobozhanske forward DJ Stephens:

"Bourg is usually a pretty solid team, like most French teams. They play fast basketball, kind of very similar to what we do. They usually have a lot of athletic players and that allows them to be very mobile. Right now, they are sitting on the number one spot in the standings at 5-1. They have been playing very good basketball, so we have to come in and play very tough on defense. We have to try playing our normal style of defense that we usually strive to play. We haven't been able to play consistently the entire season, but that's what we want to do over there – to play aggressive, to get stops and then get out to be able to run a transition offense."

### Veolia Hamburg Towers head coach Raoul Korner: 

“The game in Paris was difficult in several ways. The series of defeats was taking its toll on us mentally and we were missing three important players. But maybe that's what woke us up. It has to go in a similar direction on Wednesday. Nothing really changed in the initial situation. Hapoel has a lot of firepower on the perimeter, athleticism and plays very physically. That also goes with their big men; Onuaku is a tough matchup. In terms of individual talent, Paris and London may rank slightly higher, also because Tel Aviv is currently only using an eight-man rotation. But that doesn't mean that they won't demand everything from us. We have to get involved, leave everything on the court – so that our fans have our backs.”

 

### Veolia Hamburg Towers center Yoeli Childs: 

“The intensity of our practice sessions recently was really high. Everyone, coaches and players, know that we don't have an easy time and are working hard and in detail to change that. Against such good teams as Hapoel, every possession, every little thing will count – literally, it is about the dirty work. We can't allow ourselves any breaks. I think the last game in Paris was a step in the right direction. We have to build on that. And we must not be distracted by the atmosphere. I'm sure our fans will do their best. But we also have to get the right energy out of ourselves.”

### Hapoel Vegan Friendly Tel Aviv head coach Danny Franco: 

"We’re excited about our trip to Hamburg. We’re building up from one game to the next. Time for us to focus on details and execute well. together with our fans who are traveling with us, we’re looking into a tough battle and hope to win it."

 

### Hapoel Vegan Friendly Tel Aviv guard Bar Timor: 

"Although we are coming after a big win in Holon, we are also after two consecutive losses in the EuroCup and we want to come back to win. We know there will be a lot of fans in Hamburg who will help us and push us from the first second and I am sure that together with them, we can leave the game with a smile."

 Nemanja Dangubic, Promitheas: 'London Lions is a very talented team' 

### Promitheas Patras head coach Giannis Christopoulos:

“We play against a dangerous and competitive team that holds a record of 3-3. We need to show up ready and play with a high level of concentration and energy.”

### Promitheas Patras forward Nemanja Dangubic:

“Another tough game for us in the 7 DAYS EuroCup. We have to protect our home court and try to get back to winning again. London Lions is a very talented team offensively, so we need to play good defense and from that we will gain confidence in attack and impose our tempo on the game.”

### London Lions forward Sam Dekker:

"Tonight will be exciting. It’s always fun playing in Greece. There’s a great basketball culture here. We’re playing against a good team and it’s another chance to show who we are. That’s what we are most excited about every night. We have a lot of good stuff in our team and if we put it all together the way that we have been, good things have been happening. So we need to take a lot of pride in that, take a lot of pride in who we are and play London Lions basketball."
