Slask Wroclaw sits at the bottom of Group B standings with a 1-10 record, but the team has been highly competitive lately. Each of Slask's last six losses were in the single digits, four of them by 5 points or less.
During this span, second-year guard Daniel Golebiowski has begun to find his footing and start making noise, especially from long range. His much-improved performances have helped Slask compete.
After knocking down just 7 triples on 38 attempts in 17 appearances last season, then opening this campaign 1-for-9 from three-point range in his first five games, Golebiowski has been one of the EuroCup's best long-distance shooters since mid-November.
Starting from Round 7, Golebiowski has made a total of 12 triples, nearly double his total over his first 22 appearances in the competition.
What's more, only eight EuroCup players have made more than his 12 threes in the last five games, and his have come on highly-respectable 42.9% accuracy.
Over that span, Golebiowski has been by far the best Slask shooter while significantly improving his scoring averages. After averaging just 4.0 points, 1.8 assists and 1.4 rebounds through Round 6, the 25-year-old has been posting 11.6 points, 3.0 assists and 2.8 rebounds since.
Golebiowski scored in double figures and hit multiple triples in four of the last five games, a streak that started with 10 points on 2-for-5 three-point shooting on the road against Group B leader Dreamland Gran Canaria. It continued with Slask guard scoring 14 points apiece in clashes against 7bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys and Turk Telekom Ankara. The latter game was Slask's lone win this season, and Golebiowski had a major role with 14 points on 3-for-8 three-point shooting, and 4 assists.
Last week, Golebiowski was again a major contributor as Slask took U-BT Cluj Napoca to the wire before falling 80-76. He had 13 points on 2-for-5 accuracy from behind the arc to go with 4 assists and 3 rebounds.
This week, as Slask aims to play the spoiler's role at home against playoff hopeful Buducnost VOLI Podgorica, Golebiowski is poised to help the team by continuing his own run.
