As the BKT EuroCup season starts, Eurohoops ranks the twenty contenders

By Aris Barkas/ barkas@eurohoops.net

The 2023-24 season is here with a fresh format that lets just 12 teams out of 20 make it to the knockout stage, making the BKT EuroCup more competitive already by definition.

This time around, 40% of the teams will not make it past the group stage and that makes each game even more interesting.

Thankfully with just three newcomers – Besiktas, Aris and Wolves – it’s easy to get a solid picture of the competition from day one, thanks to a solid sample of teams from last year.

So, are we going to have back-to-back champions? Or is there a contender ready to challenge GranCa? Here’s how things are before the tip-off.

BKT EuroCup Power Rankings Vol. 1

20. Slask Wroclaw

The Polish representatives need to do much better in order to be competitive, as last season’s 1-17 record indicates.

19. Dolomiti Energia Trento

In theory, Trento has the experience and the know-how to do better. But in general, the EuroCup has not been Trento’s cup of tea, as evidenced by just four wins last season.

18. U-BT Cluj-Napoca

The Romanian club, in its second season in the competition, will need to fight more and get more things going than just having an admirable home-court support. That’s their challenge this year.
