Following a successful Metsovo training camp, PAOK BC has continued its international pre-season phase in Italy.

During the 10th Memorial Pajetta tournament, the team secured a dominant 100-74 victory over Napoli in the final, winning the tournament. Despite the absence of Requan Gray and the injured Breein Tyree, Cedi Osman led the scoring with 31 points, including six three-pointers, and was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player (MVP). Other significant contributors included Nikos Huggaz with 13 points, Trevor Hodge with 10 points, and Nassos Bazina, who recorded 12 points and 8 assists.

Coach Andrea Trinchieri emphasized the importance of maintaining high standards and adaptability, noting that while the team showed improvement, he is seeking “consistent excellence.” He also highlighted the successful integration of new players Nick Calathes, Naso Bazinas, and Cedi Osman into the squad during the preseason.

The team is scheduled to continue its preparations with a friendly match against Armani Milano on 12 September, followed by participation in the ‘Pavlos Giannakopoulos’ international tournament from 17 to 19 September.
