All 18 EuroLeague teams were rated by Eurohoops based on status, dynamics, form and the significance of their results. Τhe current ranking is not representing only the current EuroLeague standings, but also the last impression left from each team during the most recent rounds of action.
With that in mind, here’s the third volume of the official EuroLeague Power Rankings.
#18 ZALGIRIS KAUNAS
Previous Ranking: 18 (-)
Record: 3-9
Home: 2-3
Away: 0-7
Offense-Defense: 71-81.1
After nine losses in a row, Zalgiris Kaunas finally got off the mark defeating Panathinaikos OPAP, 76-69, in Round 10 and went back-to-back beating Fenerbahce Beko, 86-75, in Round 11. Still sitting in last place lacking the quality to move up the standings. Bringing in Zoran Dragic and replacing Emmanuel Mudiay with Tai Webster are a step in the right direction.
#17 BITCI BASKONIA VITORIA-GASTEIZ
Previous Ranking: 15 (-2)
Record: 4-8
Home: 3-4
Away: 1-4
Offense-Defense: 69.9-80.2
Despite the head coaching change with Neven Spahija taking over after the dismissal of Dusko Ivanovic, the struggles continue for Bitci Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz. Baskonia has lost six out of its last seven last games with a 93-74 win over Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade in Round 10 the lone exception. The point differential at negative 20.2 points per game in this stretch says a great deal about this difficult period.
