Justin Robinson made a significant impression playing for Paris this season. The American guard averaged 14.5 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game. Primarily a point guard, he also poses a considerable threat as a shooting guard. The left-handed player shot 34.3% from beyond the arc and is expected to be a hot commodity.

Robinson began his career with the Washington Wizards and also had stints with Detroit, Oklahoma City, Sacramento, and Milwaukee. His first venture outside the NBA was with the Illawarra Hawks in Australia, and he also played for Trapani Sharks in Italy.

Brancou Badio, on the other hand, had a career-best season with Valencia, earning him a new contract extension until 2029. However, Zvezda is reportedly prepared to pay the Senegalese guard's buyout clause to bring him to Belgrade.

Badio is an indispensable player for Pedro Martinez, the coach of "The Bats," having previously played under him at Manresa and also for Barcelona. Last season, he averaged 10.2 points, 2.2 rebounds, and two assists. Badio is an exceptional athlete, and his penetrative drives could be a significant asset for the red-and-whites.

It's worth noting that the red-and-whites recently lost Cody Miller-McIntyre, who is expected to sign with Olympiacos. Media reports also suggest a deal has been finalized with Chris Jones from Hapoel Tel Aviv. Furthermore, it was reported today that Zvezda is interested in Alessandro Pajola, Virtus's captain.
