BCL: 10 new players to watch in the 2020-21 season
This is the ideal time to take a look at the fresh faces about to step out in the competition for the first time.
There is nothing quite like the smell of new, they say, and with the new Basketball Champions League season about to tip off, this is the ideal time to take a look at the fresh faces about to step out in the competition for the first time.
With so many players set to make their BCL debut in 2020-21, it’s almost certain that several new arrivals will be eager to prove this list wrong through the course of the season, but for the time being let’s have a closer look at 10 players (in alphabetical order) whom we expect to turn heads in 2020-21.
ONDREJ BALVIN – Center, 2.17m (7ft 1in) – RETAbet Bilbao
There is only one player over the age of 30 on this list of BCL rookies and it’s not by accident that it’s Alex Renfroe, a point guard who has always relied on his court vision and reading of the game rather than physical attributes that might fade with time.
As it became apparent at the Final 8 in Athens, Burgos will not depend on any one star player, but rather play as a team that makes the most of its deep rotation and wealth of options.
Renfroe is the orchestra conductor the 2020 BCL champions have entrusted with running the show, and if their recent coronation is any indication, it will prove a highly successful choice.
