Trento takes on DeVante' Jones at point guard

[Dolomiti Energia Trento](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/dolomiti-energia-trento/roster/trn/?season=2025-26) has made the signing of point guard [DeVante' Jones](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/devante-jones/013260/) its first addition ahead of the 2025-26 season.

Jones (1.86 meters, 27 years old) averaged 10.3 points, 3.8 assists and 1.4 steals over 19:41 minutes in 20 EuroCup games last season to help Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana reach the quarterfinals. He had one of his best performances of the season with 14 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals in the eighthfinals victory over Besiktas Fibabanka Istanbul. Jones also helped Cedevita win the Slovenian League and Cup double.

After a college career that saw him play at Coastal Carolina College and the University of Michigan, Jones began his professional career in France. He played for Metropolitans 92, alongside Victor Wembanyama, during the 2022-23 season and suited up for Le Mans the next season. At Trento he will be reunited with Selom Mawugbe, who was his teammate two years ago at Le Mans.

Veolia Hamburg Towers picked up some scoring punch with the signing of Eric Reed for the 2025-26 season

Hamburg signs scoring guard Eric Reed 

[Veolia Hamburg Towers](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/veolia-hamburg-towers/roster/ham/?season=2024-25) picked up some scoring punch with the signing of Eric Reed for the 2025-26 season.

Reed (1.93 meters, 25 years old) arrives from Belgian side Spurs Kortrijk, for which he averaged 15.1 points on 42.4% three-point shooting, 3.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game in the BNXT League (the top professional league in Belgium and the Netherlands). He made 2.8 three-pointers per game and was the top scorer on the team as it reached the playoff semifinals. Reed was named to the All-BNXT League First Team.

Reed played college basketball at Howard College, Southeast Missouri State University and Mississippi State University. He was an All- Ohio Valley Conference First Team selection in 2022. Reed began his professional career Cyprus with Etha Engomis in the summer of 2023 and he finished that season with Aris Midea Thessaloniki in Greece.

"Eric played at a very high level last season, for a very good coach. He was an important part of a very successful team," Coach Benka Barloschky said. "The way he plays has a big part in this. He is a two-way player; his combination of scoring and defense is something special. I'm very much looking forward to our cooperation."

The BKT EuroCup's reputation as a breeding ground for future stars was confirmed on Wednesday night in New York when three players who starred in the competition this past season were selected in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft. 

ratiopharm Ulm teammates [Noa Essengue](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/noa-essengue/011391/) and [Ben Saraf](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/ben-saraf/011437/) were respectively chosen 12th overall by the Chicago Bulls and 26th overall by the Brooklyn Nets. Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana center [Joan Beringer](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/joan-beringer/012996/) was taken with the 17th pick by the Minnesota Timberwolves. Another product of the Euroleague Basketball system, [Hugo Gonzalez](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/hugo-gonzalez/011649/) of Real Madrid, went to the Boston Celtics with the 28th pick.

<center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Welcome to Chicago, <a href="https://twitter.com/NoaEssengue?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NoaEssengue</a>! 🇫🇷 <a href="https://t.co/y7Zcda0F7N">pic.twitter.com/y7Zcda0F7N</a></p>&mdash; Chicago Bulls (@chicagobulls) <a href="https://twitter.com/chicagobulls/status/1938048065304224063?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 26, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

One of the youngest players in this year's draft, the 18-year-old Essengue averaged 12.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 18 EuroCup games as a part-time starter for Ulm.

"It's been amazing," Essengue told Chicago reporters when asked about his experience playing for Ulm. "I think it's really helped me become better person not only on the court, but also off the court. Being everyday around people who played in the NBA or in the EuroLeague has been really helpful."

Saraf produced 12.6 points, 4.6 assists and 1.3 steals in 16 EuroCup appearances. Essengue followed in the footsteps of [Pacome Dadiet](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/pacome-dadiet/011457/), who was chosen by the New York Knicks with the 25th selection last year by the New York Knicks.

Beringer, who burst onto the scene with Cedevita this season, was worth 4.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game. He got stronger as the year progressed, posting PIRs in double figures in five of his last six appearances, including a 12-point, 5-rebound effort in his team's [96-86 victory](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/news/cedevita-olimpija-downs-besiktas-96-86-to-reach-quarterfinals/) over Besiktas Fibabanka Istanbul in the eighthfinals.

### The impact of NextGen on the NBA Draft

Essengue (U18 LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne; U18 INSEP Paris; U18 ratiopharm Ulm), Saraf (U18 Next Generation Team Patras), Beringer (U18 Next Generation Team Dubai) and Gonzalez (U18 Real Madrid) all appeared at the adidas NextGen EuroLeague tournament in recent times. 

That is also the case for No. 8 pick Egor Demin (ex-U18 Real Madrid), No. 19 pick Nolan Traore (ex-U18 INSEP Paris), and No. 20 pick Kasparas Jakucionis (ex-U18 FC Barcelona).

During the 2023-24 NextGen tournament in Dubai, Essengue was named the MVP. Jakucionis also earned MVP honors during a NextGen tournament, doing so in both Zadar (2022-23) and Belgrade (2023-24). Gonzalez twice lifted the NextGen title with U18 Real Madrid in 2023 and 2024, while Traore set the NextGen Finals scoring record in that 2024 championship game to Gonzalez's Madrid.

For the second year in a row, Ulm players have been drafted

Hamburg lands forward Justin Edler-Davis

[Veolia Towers Hamburg](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/veolia-hamburg-towers/roster/ham/?season=2024-25) strengthened its roster by signing forward Justin Edler-Davis through the end of the 2026-27 season, the club announced Tuesday.

Edler-Davis (1.93 meters, 27 years old) arrives from CSO Voluntari, where he averaged 14.0 points on excellent shooting (48.2% 3FG, 91.6% FT) and 5.5 rebounds in 44 Romanian League games last season. He helped Voluntari win the Romanian Cup and the European North Basketball League (ENBL) titles.

Edler-Davis played college basketball at California State University Bakersfield, started his professional career with SC Lusitania Expert of Portugal. He also played for KB Peja of Kosovo before joining Voluntari. Edler-Davis is expected to make his BKT EuroCup with Hamburg next season.

"Justin has steadily developed over the past few years and has persevered in his path. He took his game to a new level last season and greatly improved his long-range shooting," Hamburg coach Benka Barloschky said. "One constant is his rebounding. He's a player who defines himself by being the best rebounder on the court. That mentality will help us."

Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana bolstered its frontcourt by inking power forward David Skara, the club announced Tuesday.

Skara (2.05 meters, 30 years old) arrives from Split, where he averaged 12.5 points and 5.8 rebounds in 29 Adriatic League games last season. He went for 20 points against Cedevita in a 76-74 road loss and helped Split reach the Croatian League finals.

He went on to play for French clubs such as Denain ASC Voltaire, ESSM Le Porte Cote d'Opale, SLUC Nancy and Champagne Chalons-Reims Basket before joining Split in 2024. He has been a member of the Croatian national team.

"Competing in the EuroCup is a new challenge for me. I have heard a lot of good things about Cedevita Olimpija and can’t wait to join the team. I have only visited Ljubljana for games so far, but I am looking forward to getting to know it and exploring it better now. I hope to integrate into the team as quickly as possible and contribute to achieving our goals with my play," Skara said. "I see myself as a versatile player who understands the game well and can play on the wing positions. Fans can expect heart, tenacity in every game, and team spirit."
