2015–16 KK Crvena zvezda season
The 2015–16 season was the 71st season in the existence of the club . The team played in the Basketball League of Serbia , in the Adriatic League and in the Euroleague .
Overview
The team started preparing for season 2015–16 by re-signing coach Dejan Radonjić [ 1] and guard Branko Lazić [ 2] for two years each. Team captain Luka Mitrović extended his contract until summer 2017. Marcus Williams , Boban Marjanović , Nikola Kalinić , Charles Jenkins and Jaka Blažič left the club, and roster was reinforced by Sofoklis Schortsanitis , Stefan Nastić , Ryan Thompson and Gal Mekel . From its development team FMP , Zvezda promoted MVP of 2015 FIBA Europe Under-20 Championship , Marko Gudurić . The first part of the season was marked by mixed results and a lot of squad changes. Due to serious injuries of Mitrović and Dangubić , club brought back Marko Simonović , and later on landed Quincy Miller . Out-of-form Schortsanitis and Mekel were replaced by Vladimir Štimac and returning Marcus Williams. Mid-season, the club also released Williams and Thompson, replacing them with Vasilije Micić and Tarence Kinsey . Results improved, and Red Star ended group stage of EuroLeague with a 5–5 score, reaching the third place of group A, qualifying for Top 16 stage.[ 3] Successful European season continued as Zvezda ended fourth in Top 16 Group E, with a score of 7 wins and seven losses.[ 4] In the playoffs, it was stopped by CSKA Moscow , who eventually went on to lift EuroLeague trophy. In ABA league, Zvezda entered playoffs from the second position, facing another EuroLeague team – Cedevita – and, defeating them twice, advanced to final series.[ 5] In the finals, Zvezda pulled a 3-0 against Mega Leks , defending the ABA league title. Zvezda ended another spectacular season by defending the Serbian league title beating Partizan 3-1 in the finals.[ 6]
