Here is the first update of the new season:

Daniel Ewing was the first player to get his season started with his team playing their first competitive game on Wednesday. After playing for teams in a variety of European countries over the past few years, Daniel opted to sign in France with Paris-Levallois. The team had a disappointing regular season in France, but hope to bounce back and play well in European competition, where they will participate in the EuroCup, which is the second level international competition for teams in Europe who did not make in into EuroLeague. Daniel's teammates include a pair of familiar faces, former UNC duo Sean May and Jawad Williams. Also on the team are ex-Michigan State player Aloysius Anagonye and ex-Furman player Maleye Ndoye. As the defending champions of the French Cup tournament, Daniel and Paris-Levallois participated in the season-opening Match des Champions with surprise French champions Nanterre. The team built a solid lead going into halftime only to let Nanterre close the gap before hanging on to an 81-72 win to start the season on a winning note. Daniel finished with 13 points in 28 minutes and Sean May had 18 points and 8 rebounds. In the loss, ex-Georgia player Travis Leslie had 17 points and 8 rebounds, ex-Rhode Island player Will Daniels had 17 points, and ex-Illinois player Trent Meacham had 12 points and 7 rebounds.

David McClure started his season on Thursday as his team kicked off the league in Lithuania. David is playing for Neptunas again this year as his overseas career has been spent entirely in Lithuania. With the team's unprecedented success last season, they tried to maintain their core of players including David. In addition to the local Lithuanian league, the team will compete in the VTB United League which features teams from multiple countries in Eastern Europe as well as the EuroCup. The crowded upcoming schedule is why the team is going to play multiple domestic league games early in the season to clear space in the next few months. David's teammates include ex-Butler player Andrew Smith, ex-Old Dominion player Valdas Vasylius, and ex-American University player Arvydas Eitutavicius. In their season opener, they rolled to a 96-69 win over Dzukija. David had 5 points in 15 minutes. Valdas Vasylius had 11 points and Andrew Smith had 10 points. In the loss, ex-DII player James Lewis had 11 points.

David and Neptunas continued to get domestic league games out of the way as they were at Lietuvos Rytas on Saturday. They struggled early against the traditional powerhouse, but did narrow the final gap as they lost 87-78. David had a quiet 10 minutes off the bench. Valdas Vasylius had 13 points and Arvydas Eitutavicius had 10 points.

Nolan Smith played his first competitive overseas game on Sunday. After two seasons in the NBA, Nolan has signed with Cedevita Zagreb in Croatia. The team is looking to have a stronger season, appointing the national team coach Jasmin Repesa. Some of Nolan's teammates include ex-Michigan State player Goran Suton, 2012 Toronto Raptors 56th overall pick Tomislav Zubcic, and recent Ohio graduate Ivo Baltic. Their first game kicked off the season in Croatia, part of a three game Super Cup between the senior and two youth teams of Cedevita Zagreb and Cibona Zagreb in honor of the late Drazen Petrovic. Ironically, both teams will not be spending the early part of the season in the domestic league as they will instead be focused on the EuroCup and the Adriatic League, which features clubs from multiple countries in the Balkans. In this game, Cedevita Zagreb was trying to prevent being swept and did just that after taking a lead in the second quarter on their way to an 82-61 win. Nolan marked his debut with 8 points and 7 assists in 35 minutes. Tomislav Zubcic had 16 points. Ex-UNLV player Jerel Blassingame had 10 points in the loss.

I will again be providing some supplemental material on the European competitions featuring teams from countries across the continent as many of the best Americans in Europe participate.

This week was the start of EuroLeague, with 8 teams battling for 1 spot in the regular season in a single elimination knockout format hosted by Lietuvos Rytas of Lithuania. Losing teams from this qualifying round drop down to the EuroCup, the second tier European club competition for teams that do not make it to EuroLeague level.

Germany's Oldenburg built a lead in the second half to eliminate Italy's Cimberio Varese 79-74 in the first game on Tuesday. In the win, ex-Georgia Southern player Julius Jenkins had 18 points and ex-Missouri player Rickey Paulding and ex-Purdue player Chris Kramer had 15 points each.

In the second game, Turkey's Banvit built a lead in the second quarter to defeat Czech outfit Nymburk 87-78.

On Saturday, DeMarcus Nelson and Red Star Belgrade started their season in the Adriatic League. This is DeMarcus's second season with the team, making him the first ever American player to play two consecutive seasons with the team. Their success in the competition, featuring teams from the Balkan region and elsewhere in Eastern Europe, earned them a spot in the season's Euroleague. As a result of focusing on these leagues in the first part of the season, the team will not join in the Serbian League until later in the season. With their strong season a year ago, the team was able to bring in several new players including ex-Hofstra player Charles Jenkins, ex-Loyola (Illinois) player Blake Schilb, and ex-Arizona player Ivan Radenovic, who was also teammates with DeMarcus in Ukraine several seasons ago. In this game, they headed to Bosnia to face Siroki and had a tougher than expected time, not being able to finish a second half comeback and falling 80-79. DeMarcus had 12 points in 33 minutes as he came alive offensively late in the game to keep his team close. Blake Schilb had 12 points and 6 rebounds. In the win, ex-Oakland player Johnathon Jones had 12 points.

Mistie Bass had a short turnaround from the WNBA season as Lyon had their season opener. Mistie is playing in France again, being one of the most dominant individual performers in the league for several seasons now. This is her second season with Lyon after they merged with her former team. Earlier in the summer, it looked like the team might not be allowed to stay in the top league, but they were allowed to stay and will look to have another good season with Mistie there for the entire season instead of being delayed by the WNBA playoffs. The opening round of the French League had all of the games played in the same Paris gym with Lyon closing the festivities against Arras, building their lead in the second quarter on the way to a 69-51 win. Mistie had 14 points in 33 minutes. Ex-James Madison player Dawn Evans had 19 points in the loss.

On Tuesday, Daniel Ewing and Paris-Levallois started their EuroCup campaign hosting Valencia of Spain in a Group C game. The EuroCup is the second-tier competition for men's club teams around Europe for those that are not quite able to make it into EuroLeague. The 48 teams in the regular season are divided in eight groups of six teams as the ten game double round robin schedule will eliminate three teams and move three teams forward to the next round. The competition is regionalized, so groups A through D are considered the Western European ones while groups E through H are the Eastern European ones. It was a tough test for the French team, even at home and they fell 85-68. Daniel had 10 points in 27 minutes to tie for the team scoring lead. In the win, ex-Houston player Oliver Lafayette had 17 points and 8 assists and Bojan Dubljevic, picked 59th overall by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the last NBA draft, had 16 points and 6 rebounds.
