Every season produces new stars in the 7DAYS EuroCup, and the latest player to put his stamp on the competition is Buducnost VOLI Podgorica center Alpha Kaba.
In his fourth year in the EuroCup, his first with Buducnost, the 26-year-old Frenchman has posted his highest averages to date in the opening four games of the campaign: 13.2 points on 71.9% two-point shooting, 9.5 rebounds and 2.2 steals, in addition to a PIR of 18.5. In fact, in the last three games, he is averaging 15.7 points, 10 rebounds and 3 steals, with a PIR of 22.7.
Kaba previously represented LCLC ASVEL Villeurbanne in 2017-18 and 2018-19, as well as Nanterre 92 in 2020-21, but his dominance in the paint has become more of a factor in this current season.
Not only is his average of 9.5 rebounds per night good enough for fourth best in the 2022-23 EuroCup, but he is also making the fifth-highest average number of made two-pointers with 5.8.
After a relatively slow start in his first game, in which he scored 6 points but grabbed 8 rebounds and blocked 2 shots in a 66-73 loss to Veolia Hamburg Towers, his threat on the offensive end of the floor has significantly increased in Buducnost's last three fixtures, all of which have been victories.
