Slask adds Polish League's top rebounder, Stefan Djordjevic 

[Slask Wroclaw](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/slask-wroclaw/roster/wro/) took another step in building a competitive roster for the 2025-26 season by signing big man [Stefan Djordjevic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/stefan-dordevic/006977/), the club announced Sunday.

Djordjevic (2.06 meters, 26 years old) comes off a monster season with Polish League rival AMW Arka Gdynia. He led the league with 8.9 rebounds and was second in scoring with 19.0 points per game. Djordjevic shot 68.5% from the field and topped the PIR charts with 24.2 per game.

A product of the Crvena Zvezda Belgrade youth system, Djordjevic played for Zvezda in the NextGen EuroLeague and then began his career with FMP and KK Vrsac. In 2021 he joined Igokea, with which he won back-to-back Bosnian League and Cup doubles. After one season in Spain with Basquet Girona, Djordjevic moved to Poland last season and posted monster numbers. The Serbian international is now set to make his EuroCup debut with Slask.

Let’s break these teams down. In 2021 you have Teodosic, who though past his prime, remained a master passer and came up big in big games; he averaged 21.0 points in the three-game semifinals. On the wings were Jamar Smith, one of the great shooters in EuroCup history, and a young Cordinier, whose athleticism and defensive toughness would lead him to stardom in years to come. In the paint, Reed was a force of nature and made 70% of his two-pointers that season, while Lessort was just scratching the surface of the All-EuroLeague big man he would become. 

The 2023 leader would be that season’s MVP, Grant, whose healthy dose of scoring, playmaking and defense is perfect for this exercise. Stephens’s explosiveness and Bouteille multi-level scoring makes for a great pairing on the perimeter.  Shurna could serve as a model for a streth-4; he made 48.5% of his threes that season! And Tomic anchors the 2023 frontcourt with his size and secondary playmaking ability.

The 2021 team is stronger at overall defense, on the glass and at protecting the rim. The 2023 team has better shooting and more offensive balance. But in a straight-up matchup, the power inside of the 2021 team – whether scoring or putting back misses – could be too much for Shurna and Tomic. And with Teodosic's majestic passes and Cordinier slashing while Smith stretches the floor, it seems that the earlier team has more than enough, with all due respect the 2023 version. That’s how I see it… Tell us what you think on Instagram!    

Join us on our journey to crown the greatest All-EuroCup First Team of all time! 

London Lions keep talented Matthew Goodwin

The London Lions announced Saturday that Matthew Goodwin is staying with the club which is making a return to the BKT EuroCup in the upcoming season. Goodwin (1.88 meters, 19 years old) has spent last season with the club, and appeared in 27 games in the British League in limited fashion. He scored a total of 28 points, but shot 42.9% from long range. He also averaged 5.3 points in six British Cup games.

That was Goodwin's first full professional season. The teenager grew up with Manchester Magic, playing in their academy and for their lower division team. He made his professional debut with the Manchester Giants in the 2023-24.

Over the last three years, Goodwin has also been playing for the British national teams in youth categories. He is now set to make his EuroCup debut.

The American guard started his professional career with Mladost Zemun in the Serbian top flight in 2019-20 before he was signed by Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade but loaned back to Mladost Zemun for the 2020-21 season. He went out on loan once again, this time to Polish side Stal Ostrow Wielkopolski as he competed in the BCL for the first time in 2021-22. He then joined Oldenburg in Germany, where he averaged 13.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.9 steals in 36 German League games. From there, Dreschsel signed for Benfica and stayed there for two years.
