Records, team dynamics and form as well as the significance of results were among the criteria for ranking the 16 teams.
16. AX Armani Exchange Olimpia Milan
Previous ranking: 13 (-3)
Record: 4-11
At home: 3-5
Away: 1-6
Offense-Defense: 76.9 ppg. – 81.5 allowed
Unfortunately for AX Armani Exchange Olimpia Milan, it turns out they can do worse than last season, since they cannot seem to get unstuck from the bottom positions in the rankings. With six defeats in the last seven games – their only win in this period being against Baskonia Vitoria Gasteiz (92-85) – they cannot hope for much more as they also have the third-worst defense in the league. It’s telling that, since the start of the season, their best ranking has been 12th place, while, together with Anadolu Efes Istanbul, they share the most appearances in 16th place (4).
