Luke Sikma carries the load for the ALBA frontcourt and he has done so admirably so far this season with averages of 11 points, 9 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. Though Devin Booker may line up against Sikma at times, the matchup with former EuroLeague MVP Jan Vesely is one everyone wants to see. Vesely has started the season in fine form with 13 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3 assists per game. Vesely's length, speed and athleticism will make things tough on Sikma, who is often his team's playmaker from the post. Last season Sikma averaged 6.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 6 assists in the two games against Fenerbahce, while Vesely was worth 9 points, 5.5 boards and 1.5 blocks. A big game by either could be the difference this time.
