All these years, Obradovic was teaching the art of teamwork but this season he built a team that brings him 13 years back.

Andrew Goudelock is the ultimate scorer that leads Fenerbahce so far being the first scorer with 17.1 points per game in the Euroleague. He also attempts the most 2point and 3point shots.
