Misinformation is a wonderful thing. The BCL is not like soccer because this Basketball Champions League is NOT the top-tier European league- that is the EuroLeague. The Basketball Champions League is organized by FIBA and is two steps down from the EuroLeague. This competition is the soccer equivalent of the Conference League- the third-tier pan-European competition. It is comprised of mid-tier teams from the major countries (Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, etc.) and champions of smaller to medium sized countries. Also, teams do NOT play exclusively in the Basketball Champions League. The majority of games they play are in their domestic league alongside teams who do also play in the EuroLeague and EuroCup (second-tier league).

Ergo, as it is the third-tier continental competition, it is not really a level up from the Italian league. On average, it might actually be a step down.

I wish Sanogo landed with a EuroLeague squad, but he has at least landed on his feet so I am happy for him.
