The Ulm basketball players get upset: it is about the possible games four and five in the DM final series against Bayern, the NBA draft and two important players.
Immediately before the first game of the final series around the German Basketball Championship, there is Zoff. Final participant Ratiopharm Ulm criticizes the Bundesliga managers and opponents Bayern Munich.

“Fatal Sign” to the outside world
The participation of the two young stars NOA Essengue (18) and Ben Saraf (19), which is also an important part in the Half-final victory against Würzburg had four and five of the final series at the possible decisive games. Due to the detacidity of the BBL and FC Bayern, “not only two Ulm top talents are rubbed between their dreams and the sporting value of the final series is set for disposition, in our view a fatal sign is set to the outside world,” it said by the Ulmen.
Good chances of the two Ulm at the draft
The problem from the perspective of the Swabians: The NBA draft rises in New York on June 25th and 26th. There, the NBA teams can secure the best young players in the world, which include the two Ulm. Essengue is acted as a top 10 pick as a second youngster candidate, and Ben Saraf’s choice is also considered safe. However, the possible games four and five of the final series in best-of-throat mode are scheduled for June 24 and 26.
