PAOK BC ~~has~~ secured the ‘Memorial Piera Pajetta’ international basketball tournament in Udine, Italy, following a 100-74 victory over Napoli in the final. ~~Jedi~~ Cedi Osman earned tournament MVP honors after scoring 31 points. Other key contributors included Nikos Huggaz with 13 points, Nasos Bazinas with 12 points and 8 assists, and Trevor Hazgins with 10 points. This victory follows a period of preseason tension where head coach Andrea Trinchieri had criticized the squad’s mentality and questioned the future of point guard Naso Bazinas. Bazinas’s performance in the final, contributing both scoring and 8 assists, follows Trinchieri’s previous assertion that he was “not Santa Claus” regarding player rotations. During the final, Trinchieri utilized the match to test various lineups, notably leaving Nick Calathes, Raquan Gray, and Christos Manthopoulos out of the twelve-man roster. Following the tournament, Trinchieri noted early signs of progress and the team's ability to adapt despite the absence of players like Calathes and Gray. However, he remained critical of specific errors, such as ten turnovers in the first half of a match, stating he is looking for “standards” rather than simple reactions. As new additions including Nick Calathes, Nasos Bazinas, and Cedi Osman ~~begin to~~ integrate into the squad, Trinchieri emphasized that the focus remains on the process and maintaining high standards. The team is scheduled to continue its preparations in Italy with a friendly match against Armani Milano on September 12.
