Command Analysis
Current form
The Spanish club has made a lot of efforts to get out of the crisis. After a series of unstable results, Barcelona won two important victories in a row, beating Paris (90:79) and the recent Euroleague leader Monaco (98:84). These successes allowed the team to rise to ninth place in the standings and get closer to the playoff zone.
Joan Peñarroya men have established a good teamwork on the court, especially in attack, where Kevin Panter and Tomas Satoransky play key roles. Both players are in good shape and make a significant contribution to the overall game.
