BasketNews expert Augustas Suliauskas invites you to look at the reasons behind Olympiacos' hot 6-0 start at the beginning of the season.
Olympiacos Piraeus are yet to lose the official game this season. 2 wins in the EuroLeague, 2 wins in the Greek League, and 2 more in the local Super Cup.
Such excellent early results are the no. 1 advocates for roster continuity when the team is already stacked. And since the Reds qualified for the Final Four last season, all they needed to do was reshape their bench.
Out of all top-tier EuroLeague teams, they changed the least number starting five members. Tyler Dorsey left Olympiacos to chase his NBA dream, and the Greeks replaced him with a similar player in Isaiah Canaan.
However, there were quite a few goodbyes and new entrances on the bench. Most notably, club icon Giorgos Printezis announced his retirement after 17 legendary seasons with the team's colors, paving the way for, arguably, the most important addition of the summer - Alec Peters.
Joel Bolomboy and Tarik Black strengthened the center spot, replacing Hassan Martin and Livio Jean-Charles.
With these signings, Olympiacos addressed the minor issues that proved to be crucial in the Final Four - floor spacing at the forward position plus more experience and muscle at the center.
BasketNews invites you to look at how these changes have affected Olympiacos' purple patch at the beginning of the season and other key reasons behind a 6-0 start.
