PAOK BC preseason growth and EuroCup ambitions

Overview

Following their Stoiximan Super Cup loss to Olympiacos and a mixed EuroCup start, PAOK BC has entered a phase of significant structural and competitive growth. Head coach Andrea Trinchieri has highlighted major investments from owner Mr. Mystakidis, including an increased athletic budget and a new training center, which he described as a “game changer” for the club’s professional culture. While the team’s long-term ambition is EuroLeague contention, Trinchieri has maintained a realistic outlook, noting that the squad is currently at a “EuroCup level” and must improve execution and chemistry.

Preseason performance has been a mix of individual highlights and coaching frustration. Cedi Osman has emerged as a primary performer, notably scoring 31 points in a victory against Napoli. However, Trinchieri has been vocal about lapses in discipline, criticizing the team’s fourth-quarter mentality during a win over Udine and questioning point guard Naso Bazinas’s future in the rotation. After losing the Pavlos Giannakopoulos tournament final to Panathinaikos, Trinchieri remained blunt about the result, stating, “The statement is that we lost. That is the only reality.”

As the EuroCup campaign progresses, the team recently secured its third victory of the season with an 87-78 win against Ratiopharm Ulm at the PAOK Sports Arena. Cedi Osman led the scoring with 21 points, supported by Brijin Tyree’s 19 points. Despite the win, the absence of Nick Calathas impacted playmaking, resulting in 21 turnovers. Trinchieri expressed mixed emotions, praising the defensive presence and tempo control but criticizing the lack of offensive stability, reiterating his refusal to accept mediocrity by stating, “I am paid not to be satisfied.”
