Reyer Venezia is looking for a new playmaker for the next season. After RJ Cole's departure to Olimpia Milano, the Venetian team is trying to strengthen its backcourt.
What happened?
Reyer Venezia and Virtus Bologna have entered the competition for playmaker DJ Steward, who played for Trento last season. The 2001-born player is considered one of the best playmakers available on the market.
Why is it important for Reyer Venezia?
Reyer Venezia needs a high-level playmaker to compete with the best teams in the LBA. DJ Steward could be the right choice, thanks to his excellent performances in Trento.
What comes next?
Reyer Venezia and Virtus Bologna will have to convince DJ Steward to join their teams. The Venetian team may have an advantage, thanks to its five-year license for the Eurocup.
| Player | Team | Season |
|---|---|---|
| DJ Steward | Trento | 2022-2023 |
| RJ Cole | Reyer Venezia | 2022-2023 |
Reyer Venezia will play in the Eurocup next year, in addition to the championship. Virtus Bologna, eliminated in the LBA semifinals by Reyer, will still be competing in the Euroleague, along with Olimpia Milano.
