Who will win Turkish Basketball Super League 2022/2023: Preview

The regular championship of the elite basketball championship of Turkey is coming to the finish line. After the final round of the regular season of the Turkish Super League, the first eight out of 16 teams will enter the playoffs, which will form the quarterfinal pairs.

The top three contenders for the championship in the current tournament are as follows: Anadolu Efes, Fenerbahce and Turk Telekom. In the regular championship, these teams did not differ in stability and it is quite difficult to single out a clear favorite among them. At the same time, having carefully analyzed each of the clubs, you can more accurately predict who will get a set of gold medals.

Anadolu Ephesus

The Blue-White-Red-Blues did not look too confident in the regular season. After 23 rounds of Anadolu, Efes was in fourth place in the standings. Yielding to the third Pinar Karsiyaka in additional indicators, the fifth Bursaspor club from Istanbul bypassed by four credit points. Having won 17 victories, the guys of Ergin Ataman suffered 6 defeats. At the same time, Shane Larkin and partners had one of the strongest attacks in the tournament, scoring an average of 87 points per game.

If Anadolu Efes leaves the Euroleague, and there are quite serious prerequisites for this, then the team will be able to fully focus on the Turkish Super League. The composition of the "blue-white-red-blue" is strong and able to win another championship title. At the same time, the competitors of the brainchild of Tunkay Ozilkhan also added and it will be much more difficult for Shane Larkin and his partners to get the “gold” this season.

Fenerbahce

The Yellow-Blues played quite well in the regular season of the current season, but after 23 games played, they were only in second place in the tournament. Being one point behind the first Turk Telecom, Fenerbahce was two points ahead of the third Pinar Karsiyaka and the fourth Anadolu Efes. Having lost in 4 fights, the guys of Dimitris Itoudis won 19 times. The brainchild of Ali Koch suffered defeats from Turk Telekom, Merkezefendi, Pinar Karshiyaki and Tofasha. At the same time, the lion's share of losses occurred on the road.

Fenerbahce had one of the strongest defenses in the tournament, conceding 78 points per game on average. The composition of the Istanbul team is good and under the leadership of Dimitris Itoudis, the Yellow-Blues may well get the 14th league title in the history of the club. At the same time, it will be extremely difficult for Melihu Mahmutoglu and his partners in the playoffs.

Turk Telecom

In the regular season of the Turkish Super League 2022/2023, Turk Telekom looked extremely powerful and absolutely deservedly led the standings after 23 rounds. At the same time, Erdem Can's wards were ahead of the second Fenerbahce by only one point. Having won in 20 matches, the team from Ankara suffered 3 defeats. The blue-whites were defeated by Bursaspor, Galatasaray (in overtime) and Merkezefenedi. In addition, Tony Taylor and the company were inferior only on the road.

The Blue-Whites have a fairly good selection of players. Turks, Americans and French forward Axel Butey are playing in Turk Telecom. It is worth noting that Nate Cestina has experience playing in the NBA J-League, and defender Jerian Grant played 284 matches in the strongest basketball league in the world in such clubs as the New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls and Orlando Magic. With the right attitude, the team from Ankara is capable of winning the title, but this task is not an easy one.

Our forecast

Anadolu Efes is having an extremely unstable season and it is not certain that the team will be able to improve in the playoffs. So the main contender for the championship title, according to the bookmakers, most likely should not be put up as such a favorite. In the current season, the Blue-White-Red-Blues are very likely to be left without gold. Turk Telecom has gathered good performers and looks confident in the domestic arena. However, the "blue-whites" have little experience and it is not worth seriously counting on the fact that the team from Ankara will win gold medals.

Fenerbahce have an excellent squad and since 2022 the club has been led by an extremely experienced Greek coach Dimitris Itoudis. Given this, we can assume that it is the "yellow-blue" from Istanbul that will become the champion of the Supreliga.
