This has made the balance sheet shows that the team is negative manresano (3-4), but with the exception of the aforementioned meeting, all his rivals were ACB League teams and the results can be considered within expectations.
Josh Asselin and Tuky Bulfoni have been players that have marked the rhythm of the offensive set of Jaume Ponsarnau, grazing both averaged 10 points per meeting.

Against ACB clubs: 0-4
Best Scorer: Scorer: Ellis (12.22)
Repeats the story of last season, but this time the absence of major players has marked his career too much. This has made the Cajasol has not responded to the expectations created around it. Thus, a balance sheet and no 2-5 triumph at ACB League teams have done that the results were not promising anything.
For several weeks took into its ranks the best player in the preseason Mychal Ignerski, who has finally closed this period of preparation as the tenth best player, with an average of 15.4. After a spectacular start, which caused scored 22, 32 and 20 points in the first three matches, deflates something in his contribution, but has remained as the best of his team.

17. ViveMenorca Balance Total : 2-5
Against ACB clubs: 0-4
Best Scorer: Jeter (10.86)
The whole shooting was the worst team in the preseason. With only one victory in eight matches, the Houses of Ricard will have to tighten if they do not want to spend trouble during the course of the season that is about to begin.
However, it must be borne in mind that the ViveMenorca has been hard hit with injuries, even the players who arrived to reinforce the training, which coupled with the absence of the internationals has led them to work as they had no power desired.
Despite everything, and have been able to see good manners in some of the additions. Is the case with Pooh Jeter, the best team with 10.86 points per game. Without forgetting the master, Mario Stojić, who remains among the best in the team, with nearly 11 points per meeting.
