With four foreign players, without three Macedonia national team members and with several youngsters, whose time is yet to come, MZT Skopje Aerodrom have begun their preparations for the forthcoming ABA League season, which will mark the 50th anniversary of the club"s existence.

The new head coach Emil Rajković and his assistant Aleksandar Jončevski were able to count on Uroš Lučić and Đorđe Drenovac, Jure Lalić, Josh Scott, Luka Petrovski, Andrej Cvetkovski and Mihajlo Arsoski (the latter one will be loaned to AV Ohrid next season) at the first practice ahead of the new season. On the court of Jane Sandanski Arena there were also talented Bojan Jovanovski, Stefan Donakovski, Leonid Todorovski, PEtar Prentović, Martin Mileski and Darko Porjazov, all of which come from the youth categories of the Skopje ABA League side and they will try to earn the trust of the tacticians who might count on them next season.

Charlon Kloof will join the rest of the squad later, after the end of the EuroBasket 2017 Qualifying Round and the same goes for the three players that are currently with Macedonia national team - Marko Simonovski, Ljubomir Mladenovski and Adem Mekić. By the end of the week, American with the Macedonian citizenship Jeremiah Massey should join the rest of the squad.

In accordance with the plan, the players of MZT Skopje Aerodrom will spent the first part of the preparation in their home arena, under the guidance of fitness coach Bartoš Bibrovič. He used to cooperate with Emil Rajković at the Polish squad Slask Wroclaw and used to be a part of the coaching staff of Macedonia national team last summer at EuroBasket 2015 in Zagreb.

The team is planning to test their game in six and up to seven friendly games, but so far the only confirmed games are the ones at the Mirza Delibašić memorial tournament, where Bosna Royal, Cedevita, Budućnost VOLI and MZT Skopje Aerodrom will play two games each.
