Valencia Basket has secured the signing of exciting guard Jean Montero.

Jean Montero steps into Valencia's backcourt

Valencia Basket has secured the signature of one of the top young point guards in Europe, with [Jean Montero](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/jean-montero/010042/) joining the club on a three-year deal.

Montero (1.88 meters, 21 years old) comes off a strong season with MoraBanc Andorra in which he was named the Spanish League's Best Young Player for the second straight year. He averaged 15.7 points, 5.1 assists and 2.0 steals in 28 Spanish League games.

Montero, who represented the Dominican Republic at the 2023 FIBA World Cup, led the Spanish League in steals last season, while he was also second in scoring and PIR (20.0) and eighth in assists last season.

Montero began his youth-team career in his native Dominican Republic, suiting up for Club Mauricio Baez, before moving to Spain in the summer of 2019 by signing for Gran Canaria. Upon arriving in Europe, he made an immediate impression in the Adidas Next Generation Tournament and also with Gran Canaria's B team in the Spanish third division.

The following season, 2020-21, Montero impressed enough to make his first appearances for the first team, playing four times in the BKT EuroCup and five times in the Spanish League. However, his minutes were very limited and he spent the majority of his time with the B team.

Things changed with a move to Real Betis Baloncesto during the 2022-23 campaign. With a chance to play a prominent role, Montero starred and did all that he could to help Betis avoid relegation, even scoring a game-high 19 points on the last day of the season against Real Madrid, but it wasn't enough. He averaged 17.6 points, 4.3 assists and 1.6 steals in 16 Spanish League games. Montero then signed with Andorra last summer.

Here’s an early look at the 10 teams in Group B.

2024-25 BKT EuroCup: Group B at a glance

All of those teams will be chasing the crown in 2025. Here’s an early look at the 10 teams in Group B.

[Valencia Basket](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/valencia-basket/roster/pam/?season=2024-25)

The winningest club in EuroCup history, Valencia is back in the competition after two seasons in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague and Coach Pedro Martinez plans to lead his team back as soon as possible. With a core of players returning and a new-look frontline featuring Matt Costello, Ethan Happ and Nante Sestina, Valencia is on the prowl for a record fifth EuroCup crown.

[Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/hapoel-jerusalem/roster/jer/?season=2024-25)

The 2004 champion is back in the EuroCup after a six-season hiatus. Jerusalem has a long and distinguished EuroCup history; its 90 wins are the ninth most ever in the competition. Already this summer, its two signings – Austin Wiley and Justin Smith – have shown that Jerusalem is aiming high. Can Coach Jonathan Alon bring everything together to make a run at the championship?

[Cosea JL Bourg en Bresse](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/jl-bourg-en-bresse/roster/bou/?season=2024-25)

No team has more wins over the past three EuroCup seasons than Bourg’s 61. However, after reaching the EuroCup Finals last season, Coach Frederic Fauthoux’s squad has undergone some turnover. With the arrival of several promising players and the experience from the remaining core, there is reason to expect to see Bourg make another deep EuroCup run.

[Turk Telekom Ankara](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/turk-telekom-ankara/roster/ttk/?season=2024-25)

After reaching the EuroCup finals two seasons ago, Turk Telekom’s campaign came to an end in the eighthfinals last season. No team has been more aggressive early in the summer to build its team and with Coach Can Erdem back on the sidelines along with nine new players, Turk Telekom is positioning itself as a force to be reckoned with.

[Umana Reyer Venice](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/umana-reyer-venice/roster/vnc/?season=2024-25)

In six previous seasons in the EuroCup, the only time Reyer made it as far as the quarterfinals was in 2020 when the season was abandoned before that stage could be played. Coach Neven Spahija will try to take the team at least as far in 2025. To do so, Reyer has recruited Tyler Ennis and three-point ace Davide Moretti to form a dangerous backcourt that for opponents will be hard to handle.

[Aris Midea Thessaloniki](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/aris-thessaloniki/roster/ari/?season=2024-25)

Aris made its long-awaited return to the EuroCup last season and made plenty of waves as it reached the eighthfinals. The club has already been hard at work, re-signing star point guard Vassilis Toliopoulos and several promising young talents. With that hungry core, Aris aims to soar high once again.

[7Bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/lietkabelis-panevezys/roster/lkb/?season=2024-25)

This season will be Lietkabelis’s fifth in a row in the EuroCup and will look to take another step forward. Last season the club missed making the knockout stages for the third year running by a single victory. Lietkabelis also placed third in the Lithuanian League as it continues to cement itself as a rising power.

[Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/cedevita-olimpija-ljubljana/roster/lju/?season=2024-25)

After reaching the quarterfinals in 2022, Cedevita has had a pair of disappointing seasons. The club is determined to give its fans in the Slovenian capital reasons to cheer this time. Coach Zvezdan Mitrovic, who guided AS Monaco to the 2021 crown, was appointed to lead the way and the first few signings are worthy of excitement.

[Veolia Towers Hamburg](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/veolia-hamburg-towers/roster/ham/?season=2024-25)

After reaching the knockout stages in its first two EuroCup seasons, Hamburg struggled last year. Coach Benka Barloschky brings back only one player from last season – the multi-talented Will Christmas – and with a new look and players hungry to prove themselves, Hamburg will try to bounce back and claim a top-six finish in Group B.

[U-BT Cluj-Napoca](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/u-bt-cluj-napoca/roster/clu/?season=2024-25)

In just its second EuroCup campaign, Cluj finished the regular season in second place and reached the EuroCup Quarterfinals. With Karel Guzman, Adam Mokoka and All-EuroCup selection Patrick Richard returning to play under Coach Mihai Silvasan, Cluj and its passionate fans will be aiming high once again.

Half of the teams in Group B have been to the EuroCup Finals with Valencia and Jerusalem winning and Bourg, Turk Telekom and Aris finishing as runners-up. 

Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana brought a familiar face back to the Slovenian capital by signing Ziga Daneu, the club announced Tuesday. 

Cedevita brings back Ziga Daneu

Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana brought a familiar face back to the Slovenian capital by signing [Ziga Daneu](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/players/ziga-daneu/records/009431/), the club announced Tuesday. Daneu (2.01 meters, 21 years old) arrives from Helios Suns Domzale, where he averaged 6.7 points and 5.1 rebounds in 32 Slovenian League games last season, helping his team reach the final. He grew up with Cedevita Olimpija and also played for another Slovenian team, Nutrispoint Ilirija Ljubljana. Daneu has also been a member of the Slovenian U20 and U19 national teams.

<center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="und" dir="ltr">Žiga Daneu is back in Cedevita Olimpija!<br><br>Welcome (back) to the Dragons Family, Žiga!<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ZmajevaDruzina?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ZmajevaDruzina</a> <a href="https://t.co/JQOLaxapCI">pic.twitter.com/JQOLaxapCI</a></p>&mdash; Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana - English (@KKCedOL_EN) <a href="https://twitter.com/KKCedOL_EN/status/1810646299332452488?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 9, 2024</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The Daneu family has been essential to Olimpija's success in the past. His grandfather Ivo Daneu was one of the greatest guards in European basketball history. Ivo helped the former Yugoslavia win the 1970 World Cup and a silver medal at the 1968 Olympics as highlights of a legendary career that helped him become one of FIBA's 50 Greatest Players in 1991. His father Jaka Daneu helped Olimpija reach the 1997 EuroLeague Final Four and win eight consecutive Slovenian League championships.

"When I look back, I feel a bit old, because I have been part of the club for a long time in my young career, but wearing the Cedevita Olimpija jersey is the best part of my career so far. I’m glad to be back in the Dragon family," Daneu said after the agreement. "There is a bit of nervousness, but everyone always told me that nervousness is just preparation, and that’s how you know you’re where you need to be. I believe that next season we will do more to do our best and that we will be more successful."

Aris Midea Thessaloniki added another new player to its roster by inking small forward Landers Nolley to a one-year deal, the club announced Tuesday.

Group A of the 2024-25 BKT EuroCup Regular Season features two former champions and eight teams hoping to make this season the year they win their first. Here’s an early look at the 10 teams in Group A. 

2024-25 BKT EuroCup: Group A at a glance

### [Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/hapoel-shlomo-tel-aviv/roster/hta/?season=2024-25)

Hapoel enters its third EuroCup season looking to build on quarterfinals appearances in each of the first two. To date, the club has gone on a spending spree in which it’s signed six players with EuroLeague experience, including Johnathan Motley and Noam Yaacov who played there last year. With a loaded roster, the goal is to compete for the EuroCup crown.

### [Dreamland Gran Canaria](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/dreamland-gran-canaria/roster/can/?season=2024-25)

With 165 victories, Gran Canaria has won the second-most games in competition history. This season will mark the club’s fifth in a row in the EuroCup and it won it all in 2023. Already this summer Gran Canaria has inked a former All-EuroCup player in Caleb Homesley, while extending several key players. That gives Coach Jaka Lakovic plenty of weapons to make a run at another crown.

### [Joventut Badalona](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/joventut-badalona/roster/jov/?season=2024-25)

A mainstay of the EuroCup, Joventut will play its sixth straight season in the competition and it has advanced at least one stage in all of them, including reaching the semifinals in 2023. Now with young and energetic head coach Dani Miret on the sidelines, Joventut will look to continue its winning tradition while incorporating rising talents alongside grizzled vets for a mix that is worthy of being called a championship contender.

### [ratiopharm Ulm](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/ratiopharm-ulm/roster/ulm/?season=2024-25)

Ulm seems to reinvent itself almost every year and led by new head coach Ty Harrelson, the plan is for 2024-25 to be no different. Teenage talents Ben Saraf and Noa Essengue should get their chances to shine and the club scouts will surely try to unearth a star, as it has produced four All-EuroCup selections in the past three seasons.  In what will be Ulm’s 10th straight season in the EuroCup, it is surely a club to watch out for.

### [Buducnost VOLI Podgorica ](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/buducnost-voli-podgorica/roster/bud/?season=2024-25)

Buducnost heads into its sixth consecutive season in the EuroCup and it has reached the knockout stages in three of the previous four. Club stars Yogi Ferrell, McKinley Wright and Fletcher Magee are among those back from last season and under Coach Andrej Zakelj, another deep run in the EuroCup Playoffs could be right around the corner.

### [Besiktas Fibabanka Istanbul ](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/besiktas-istanbul/roster/bes/?season=2024-25)

Last season Besiktas marked its return to the EuroCup after seven seasons and reached the semifinals. With 2021-22 EuroCup Coach of the Year Dusan Alimpijevic at the helm, several veteran signings already added to the mix and the tried-and-true home-court advantage the Besiktas loyals give, this team will have its sights set high.

### [Bahcesehir College Istanbul ](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/bahcesehir-college-istanbul/roster/bah/?season=2024-25)

This season will mark Bahcesehir’s second in the EuroCup with the first coming in 2020-21. Eager to retain its core and make a run at the knockout stages, Bahcesehir was active early in the market by bringing back four players from last season, including former EuroCup finalists Axel Bouteille and Tony Talyor. Together with several young and hungry players, Bahcesehir has a bright future.

### [Wolves Twinsbet Vilnius](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/wolves-vilnius/roster/wol/?season=2024-25)

Wolves head into their second-ever EuroCup campaign after adjusting well to the first. Even though Wolves narrowly missed out on the knockout stages last season, it did finish the season on a three-game winning streak. New head coach Alessandro Magro will look to build on that with a host of talented local players in key roles.

### [Dolomiti Energia Trento](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/dolomiti-energia-trento/roster/trn/?season=2024-25)

Trento embarks on its eighth season in the EuroCup. A semifinalist in its debut season in 2015-16, Trento has not matched that achievement since. Coach Paolo Galbiati will try to change that with EuroCup Rising Star candidate Quinn Ellis playing a key role. The roster is still a work in progress and the rest of Group A will be on the lookout to see the final product.

### [Trefl Sopot](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/trefl-sopot/roster/tso/?season=2024-25)

Polish champion Trefl returns to the EuroCup for the first time since the 2012-13 season. Head coach Zan Tabak has overseen the club’s rise with two trophies in his two seasons in Sopot. Now they take a step up in competition and will take the summer months to build a team that can make some noise in the 2024-25 EuroCup.
