Current form
Zenit did a great job in the transfer market during the off-season. Despite the fact that Thomas Ertel left St. Petersburg, this did not weaken the team. Spellman, Poythress and Vorontsevich made the "blue-white-blues" even stronger, which was demonstrated in the first match of the tournament, in which the team defeated Besiktas (83:80).
Zenit's best players were Xavier Moon and Dwayne Bacon, each with 21 points.
