Since the provided play-by-play data is insufficient to generate plus/minus data for every player (the reason being that the action of subbing a player during the break between quarters is not registered in play-by-play), I calculated plus/minus for some of the key players in this tournament manually. Five group games is hardly enough…

So we’re off and going. After three eventful days at the World Championships, let’s have a look at some selected individual stats I’ve come up with. You’ll be familiar with them if you’ve been around on this site or one of the many American sites working with statistics, but it’s not like you…
Read more →An eventful first day of the World Championships in Turkey has just ended with a narrow Argentina win over Turkey. Earlier, Greece looked lackadaisical in a close win over China, USA cruised to victory over Croatia and Russia edged Puerto Rico in an early key game. Hosts Turkey started their campaign off with…
Read more →A Dirk-less German team reached the second round in the Eurobasket 2009 tournament in Poland – which was considered a success – , and the team is getting even younger this summer, replacing veterans Patrick Femerling, Sven Schultze and Konrad Wysocki with big man Christopher McNaughton, swingman Philip Schwethelm (born 1989) and third…
Read more →Greece, the slow-paced halfcourt machine that frustrated teams with suffocating defense and clynical pick and roll throughout the decade, is changing lately. Primarily because of a new man on the sidelines. Former China headcoach Jonas Kazlauskas brought in a new flair after taking over in 2009, and the Greek team has adopted it…
Read more →In a tournament where all top nations will be missing key players, the absence of Pau Gasol from the Spanish roster still made headlines, probably due to his outstading play at last year’s Eurobasket. The consensus is that while Sergio Scariolo has a deep and talented roster at his disposal, peppered with both…
Read more →Two years ago, the whole basketball world was shaking. Josh Childress had just signed a three-year 20mio $ contract with Olympiacos Piraeus, highschool phenomenon Brandon Jennings had chosen to join Lottomatica Roma while Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Smush Parker publicly declared that playing abroad for 50mio € net per year…
Read more →I’ll be trying to keep roster transactions and projected depth charts updated in this post. And I’m counting on your input not only for updates, but also for improving some inaccuracies that will inevitably occur in such a big post with almost 30 teams.
The transaction center should consist of Euroleague…
Read more →Few domestic leagues in Europe are offering plus/minus-statistics. Two of them are Italian Lega A and German BBL. Even though they only have them in boxscores and not as accumulated stats in player/team profile, it is better than nothing. Out of interest I had a look at oncourt/offcourt plus/minus of selected players from…
Read more →Been short of time lately. Here’s a short post about average pace in European basketball leagues. I wrote a similar post about a year ago, which led to the conclusion that indeed the Balkan leagues (Adriatic League, Greek A1) which are said to be halfcourt-dominated leagues, are exactly that. At the same time,…
Read more →A Navarro-led Regal FC Barcelona is the new Euroleague champion after turning the championship game into an offensive and defensive clinic in the first half and going 12 for 28 on three point shots while blocking 8 shots throughout 40 minutes of play.
