Let’s talk hoops and data! 👋 Check out a sneak peek of our poster below 👇 #SSAC26 #AnalyticsisLife

⚫️⚪️ Partizan started the season on fire, winning their first 3 games boosted by their excellent 3-point shooting. The next 3 games saw them drop their Offensive efficiency dramatically and shooting just 20% from 3. Even though their Assists have dropped, it's not because the team stopped sharing the ball, they just stopped scoring. Their % of assisted buckets has actually slightly increased. In the last 3 rounds: 🏆3 Losses in a row 🏀 -31 in Off.

If Panathinaikos can sustain this defense even when their injured players return and against tougher opponents, then the league is in serious trouble

One of the biggest changes for Panathinaikos this season has been their excruciating defense. Currently they own the best Defensive Rating allowing their opponents only 96.9 Points per 100 Possessions. Yabusele and Mantoukas have stood out in the first 3 games. 🔹With Yabusele on the court Panathinaikos allows 20.6 points per 100 possessions less vs with him on the bench 🔹With Mantzoukas on the court the Greens allow 16.4 points per 100 possessions less Can Panathinaikos keep up with this level of defense? #EuroLeague #panathinaikos #paobc @Paobcgr @EuroLeague @yabusele28

Partizan have been off to an excellent 3-0 start and one of their keys lies with their Centers. Tonye Jekiri and Kevarrius Hayes have been dominating each side of the floor. 💪@tonyejekiri has been lights out on Offense. With him on the court Partizan is scoring +23 Points per 100 possessions versus with him on the bench 🔒@KevarriusHayes presence on defense has been a huge factor for their success. With him patrolling the paint, Partizan allows 22.4 Points per 100 possessions less versus when he is on the bench #EuroLeague #partizan @PartizanBC
