Only 4 wins in 11 games. Just like in the 2023/24 championship when Dinamo was both out of the Final 8 of the Coppa Italia and out of the Scudetto playoffs. The risk is to repeat what has been the most disappointing year since Sassari arrived in Serie A.
Limiting the performance of the white-blues coached by Markovic is their lightness inside the area: Banco di Sardegna is last for rebounds captured, just 30.5 and in fact there has not been a single match so far where they have captured more rebounds than their opponent. Last year they were last too, despite capturing two more.
The pivot duo of Halilovic and Renfro only put together 8 rebounds. Too few, to compensate for them you would need guards and wings averaging 5-6 rebounds, but only Bendzius guarantees those numbers under the boards. Coach Markovic does not believe in zone defense, as stated, but the fact remains that the games are always handicap.
