Buducnost vs Turk Telekom: Analysis and Prediction – Buducnost will play at home against Turk Telekom in the EuroCup round 11.
Buducnost vs Turk Telekom Odds
Buducnost Team News
In the first ten rounds of the EuroCup group stage, Buducnost managed to win only four times, a result below expectations that led to a change of the head coach. In the previous round, they outplayed Lietkabelis away by 83:81.
Quality of this roster on paper is significantly higher than Buducnost results on the court so far in the season. McKinley Wright, Brandon Paul, JaCorey Williams and Colbey Ross are just a few of the names at Andrej Zakelj’s disposal. Yogi Ferrell, who had success with Cedevita Olimpija in the past, has joined the team as well. With this individual quality, Buducnost has the potential to go all the way in the EuroCup, but they must start playing as a team on both ends of the court.
The victory in Lithuania against Lietkabelis is undoubtedly an indicator that the new coach, Zakelj, is slowly starting to piece things together. However, all of this could be in vain if they cannot beat Turk Telekom, who has been performing poorly throughout the season.
Turk Telekom Team News
Turk Telekom beat Cluj-Napoca at home by 95:84 last week. It was only their second triumph in the EuroCup this season, and it would be a big surprise if they qualify for the knockout stage. Few expected this after an impressive campaign last season when they reached the final.
While they changed almost all players during the summer, more was expected from Turk Telekom. However, the market moves were poor, and it’s more than evident. Even the coaching change from Selcuk Ernak replacing Nenad Canak, didn’t improve their situation. They recently parted ways with Jalen Adams, and now Markis McDuffie is absent due to injury. The roster is down to just three foreigners (James Palmer Jr, Steven Enoch and Tyrone Wallace), which is insufficient for any serious result.
Even if McDuffie is available for this game, Turk Telekom lacks the quality to seriously challenge Buducnost. While they defeated Cluj-Napoca last week, playing in Ankara is one thing, and visiting Podgorica is entirely different.

Buducnost vs Turk Telekom Prediction
Considering the individual talent of both teams, Buducnost is incomparably better. Despite their issues and not meeting expectations, positive changes have occurred since the coaching change. Ferrell, with two consecutive three-pointers, made a decisive impact against Lietkabelis. Playing at home, they should find a way to defeat Turk Telekom.
