The 11 new players share a specific athletic profile, all with fresh legs, a good mentality and a strong desire to improve. We prioritized these qualities over traditional positional roles. We hope we have found a balance between personalities and skill sets that will allow us to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Several of the new arrivals are playing in European basketball, and at Barcelona, for the first time. \u201cThey all have a great desire to adapt to the ACB, the EuroLeague and a major club like ours,\u201d Pujol added.<\/p>\n<p>The schedule, particularly <a href=\"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/stavropoulos-our-main-goal-is-to-return-to-the-euroleague-playoffs\/\">for teams competing in the EuroLeague<\/a>, leaves little room for rest. The Catalan League will be Barcelona&#8217;s first official competition, followed by the Spanish Super Cup and the start of domestic and European competitions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the preseason, the first major challenge will be to continue working as much as possible to build team chemistry, develop tactically and gradually implement the style of play we envisioned during the summer.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Presentation day.
