| The Austrian League stays as one of the most balanced in the entire continent. BSC Raiffieisen Furstenfeld Panthers won the title against all odds last season and is ready to win it all again with players like Shawn Ray, Milan Goljovic, Rob Summers and Adam Boone. Oberwart Gunners, that lost the title series in a do-or-die game against Furstenfeld, has made it to three finals since 2005 and is ready to lift its first Bundesliga trophy. Jay Youngblood, Hannes Artner and Jason Johnson are set to lead the Gunners. Austrian Cup champion Allianz Swans Gmunden reached the ULEB Cup eliminaton rounds last season and is now hoping to lift its fourth league trophy in five years. Peter Hutter and scoring machine Deteri Mayes are back in Gmunden, while Swans signed Elijah Palmer, Anthony Fisher, Reggie Huffman and Shelton Colwell. Kapfenberg Bulls, with Ramiz Suljanovic, Wyane Arnold and Jeremy Fears, and Arkadia Traiskirchen Lions, with Deven Mitchell and Spencer Rhynes, are also ready to fight for the Austrian crown. |
