Besiktas had not played in the EuroLeague since 2012-13. Two rounds into their return among the twenty clubs<\/a>, Istanbul leads the league in shooting: 49.2% from three, 55.5% from the field. On Friday evening the Turks host Barcelona with the market on their side. I took that price on Wednesday at 1.75; by Thursday it was already 1.72.<\/p>\n

109 points at Maccabi, but a two-game sample<\/h2>\n

The return started badly: a 94-96 home defeat against Valencia, two points in it. A week later Besiktas went and won 109-93 at Maccabi, with a three-point shot that barely missed. That 49.2% from beyond the arc leads the championship; it is also the exact size of my doubt: two games do not make a season of shooting.

Sekulic’s Barcelona: eleven signings, Punter, and a thin frontcourt<\/h2>\n

Aleksander Sekulic is discovering the EuroLeague from the Barcelona bench, with a rebuilt team: eleven signings, four survivors from last season. The anchor is Kevin Punter, the league’s top scorer at 22 points a game. The talent is still Catalan; the depth is under construction.<\/p>\n
