Pick 174: Crvena Zvezda-Cedevita

Crvena zvezda- Cedevita is a nice intro into this weeks basketball in the improving Adriatic league. I am edging towards Crvena zvezda win today. Zvezda are welcoming back the new/old coach Svetislav Pesic and this together with the merger with FMP gives them a lot of competition on every position and a big roster to choose from.
The main advantages for Zvezda on the court today will be the American Adam Morison from LA Lakers, Petar Popovic a center with huge European experience and young Nedovic who wass the only bright spot for Zvezda last year. In charge of neutralizing Draper will be Covic. Draper after the brilliant last season is in much weaker form which was most evident in the Eurobasket.
In conclusion: The big roster and the array of young players adequate for Pesic's style of play will be a huge factor for Zvezda's play this season. The strong defense and the quick transition of play should give Morison a chance to excel and justify the star status.
In addition i have to add that Zvezda's fans Delije are slowly beginning to come back to the matches and the rainy Friday afternoon should help bring a higher attendance in Pionir.
I expect an open match with a lot of open shots, lots of points and attractive points.

Pick: Zvezda @2.07 (Pinnacle)
Stake: 75

Result: LOST
