Main Points
Napoli Basketball has opened the season with a performance that matches the club’s best start in its history. In the 2003/2004 campaign, the Pompea team, then coached by Andrea Mazzon, began with one loss to Udine and six victories over Cantù, Varese, Roma, Roseto, Pesaro and Messina. The current squad has replicated that record, posting six wins and one defeat in the first seven games. Offensively, the team has been prolific. Napoli scored 656 points in those seven matches, surpassing the previous record of 634 points set in 2003/2004. The club’s shooting statistics are among the league’s best: a 40.6% three‑point percentage, a 51.9% two‑point percentage, 93.7 points per game, 21.6 assists per game (second in the league) and a 60% two‑point conversion rate (third in the league). A highlight of the season was the derby against Scafati, where the team overcame an 18‑point deficit with six minutes remaining. The victory was achieved despite the absence of key players Petrucelli (fever), Brown (second‑leading scorer behind Ramsey) and Jakimovski. Marco Spissu reached the milestone of 750 assists in the league during the match. Napoli currently sits at the top of the league standings, awaiting the postponed match against Virtus Bologna and Verona. The club is also competing in the EuroCup, where it leads Group C with a 6‑0 record, sharing the unbeaten status with Hapoel Midtown Jerusalem. The next fixtures include a game in Germany against Niners Chemnitz, followed by a match against Trieste in the weekend, as the team seeks to extend its winning streak to eight games.
