2006-07 SLOVENIAN LEAGUE PREVIEW
Nothing changes in the Slovenian League, as Union Olimpija stays as the team to beat. Olimpija won 13 titles since the Slovenian League started in 1992, which gives at idea about its power in its domestic competition. Olimpija landed Erden Arslan, Christian Maraker, Miha Zupan or Marko Milic, joining Teemu Rannikko, Ivica Jurkovic or Saso Ozbolt to stay as the top team in the country. The alternative should be Geoplin Slovan, which inked Milos Paravinja, Ronell Taylor, Aleksandar Jevdic and Maurice Latham to challenge Olimpija for the title. Helios Domzale has also built up a solid team featuring Sasa Doncic, Robert Troha, Smiljan Pavic or Aleksei Lashkevich. A 12-team regular season will be followed by a second stage, in which the top 6 teams in the country will battle their way for a spot in the semifinals. Elektra Esotech, with Jernej Mihalic, Miha Cmer and Blaz Rucigaj, and Pivovarna Lasko, with Grego Mali and Zan Vrecko, should battle for a berth in the semifinals, too.
