This 2012 team was full of players on the rise – and they all play roles that would mesh together well. Beverley emerged as a superstar point guard. Seibutis – only 26 at the time – was a made free throw away from a 50-40-90 season. Planinic can run the offense. Caner-Medley is a hustle player who can stretch the floor, crash the glass. And Valanciunas is an old-school back-to-the-basket threat. What’s more, this a good defensive team from Beverley hounding the ball handlers to Valanciunas blocking shots.

To say that the 2016 team did not fill out its roles as well would be untrue. However, Omic (despite a brilliant offensive season) is not the same scoring threat as Valanciunas and Collins not as consistent a performer as his counterparts. Yes there is great scoring with McCollum and a great glue guy in Micov, but head to head, the 2016 team might struggle in this matchup.

This 2010 team has a quintet of stars at the peak of their powers. Sure, Teodosic would only become greater at CSKA, but he was the 2010 MVP and just blossoming. Navarro, a year removed from winning the MVP, and Kleiza were world-class scorers – and that is no exaggeration as both had recently averaged double figures in the NBA. With the defense and blue-collar ethic on the glass of Khryapa and Maric, this team is tough to beat. And it's important to remember what a beast Maric was that year in what was by far his finest season. 

The 2008 team is older at every position but center and between McIntyre, Langdon, Siskauskas and Morris surely had plenty of trucks up their sleeves. And the 2010 team's youth would not necessarily lead to an athletic advantage. However, while I think we could call the front court close to a draw, I have my doubts about how the 2008 team would defend Kleiza, Navarro and Teodosic. And the younger players' legs would just push past the 2008 guys, even if the game was closer at first.

After an outstanding first EuroLeague season, Collin Malcolm is moving from Paris Basketball and signing with Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv on a two-year deal

He won three Montenegrin League championships in three seasons with Buducnost, as well as last seasons' Montenegrin Cup.

Kamenjas started to make his name in the 2021-22 season with SC Derby, when he led the ABA League in PIR. He started his professional career with OKK Spars Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina. He also played for Bosnian side Travnik before joining Derby. Kamenjas helped Spars win the Bosnian Cup in 2020. He is now set to make his EuroLeague debut with a competition newcomer - Dubai.

NINERS Chemnitz has added another key piece to its roster with the signing of Robbie Beran, the club announced on Saturday. The contract is for the 2025-26 season with an option for a second year.

Milan hands playmaking keys to Lorenzo Brown

[EA7 Emporio Armani Milan](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/ea7-emporio-armani-milan/mil/) has a new man to run its offense with the addition of two-time All-EuroLeague guard [Lorenzo Brown](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/lorenzo-brown/009622/) on a multi-year contract, the club announced Saturday.

Brown (1.96 meters, 34 years old) arrives from Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens where last season he was worth 6.3 points and 2.7 assists per game. He helped the team reach the 2025 Final Four and win the Greek Cup.

That was a down season by Brown's standards. A six-year veteran with 199 appearances in the EuroLeague, Brown arrived in Athens last summer as an All-EuroLeague guard, but never truly found his footing coming off the bench.

Prior to Panathinaikos, Brown starred at Maccabi Tel Aviv where he was chosen to the All-EuroLeague First Team in 2022-23 and the second team a season later.

For Brown, Milan is his sixth stop in the EuroLeague. He debuted with Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade in 2019-20, spent the next one with Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul and then joined UNICS Kazan for one season before signing with Maccabi in 2022. Brown has averaged 11.7 points, 4.6 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals for his EuroLeague career.

He began his professional career with the Philadelphia 76ers and later played for the Minnesota Timberwolves, Phoenix Suns and Toronto Raptors in the NBA. He also had stints in the G League with Delaware, Springfield, Grand Rapids and Toronto. 

Brown’s first experiences outside of North America came in China with the Zhejiang Golden Bulls and Guangzhou Loong Lions. Brown possesses Spanish citizenship and helped the Spanish national team win the gold medal at EuroBasket 2022.
