The season for Saski Baskonia has had a rocky start, but they have finally found their rhythm. After winning the Copa del Rey with an impressive Trent Forrest, the team has secured a spot in the ACB playoffs, which has not been common in recent years. However, controversy has arisen regarding the Liga Endesa awards, where Trent Forrest, the MVP of the Copa del Rey, was not included in any of the highlighted lineups. This omission has sparked debate among fans, who believe Forrest should have been recognized for his dominance in the competition. Many see this as additional motivation for him to shine in the ACB playoffs, just as he did in the Copa del Rey. In these playoffs, Saski Baskonia has learned from past experiences and adapted their game, utilizing formations that favor Forrest, especially with Diop's absence. His powerful physique and ability to penetrate the opposing defense will be crucial, particularly in matchups against Joventut's guards. Although his performance in the last matchup against the Catalans was not his best, his showing in January was outstanding. The ACB playoffs offer Saski Baskonia and Trent Forrest the opportunity to prove their worth and reclaim their status in front of Liga Endesa.
