| The German League is poised to take a major step forward this season as defending champion Alba Berlin has moved its fan base and its games to the state-of-the-art, 17,000-seat O2 World, which will also host the Euroleague Final Four next spring. Alba is once again the team to beat in Germany, after having improved its roster with former German League playoffs MVP Casey Jacobsen, Ansu Sesay, Rashad Wright and Steffen Hamann. They are set to join forces with Julius Jenkins, Immanuel McElroy and Patrick Femerling to try to maintain Alba's status in the German League. Brose Baskets, Artland Dragons and Telekom Baskets Bonn will do their best to dethrone Alba. The Dragons kept its core of players - featuring Darius Hall, Chad Prewitt and Lamont McIntosh - while adding Darren Fenn and Zack Whiting to the mix. Brose Baskets has a new backcourt in Jason Forte and Filiberto Rivera and John Goldsberry, who should lead the team in a new era without new coach Chris Fleming. Meanwhile, Bonn has its own franchise players in Vincent Yarbrough and Jon Bowler. The Deutsche Bank Skyliners, featuring Derrick Allen and Pascal Roller or EWE Baskets Oldenburg, with Rickey Paulding or Jason Gardner, should be teams to watch in the upcoming German League season, too. |
