As a result, the red-and-black side has settled at the top of the league standings after winning all five of its opening games convincingly. These emphatic and comfortable victories have not only put Casademont at the summit but also given it an impressive +137 overall points differential. Beyond the results, Carlos Cantero’s team is also setting the pace in the competition’s main team statistics.
The numbers back up Casademont’s excellent start. It is the league’s highest-rated team on average, with 111.6 credits per game, and also the highest-scoring side, averaging 87.4 points per match. This is complemented by Casademont’s dominance on the boards, with an average of 42.8 rebounds, and in ball movement, with 21.4 assists per game. These four categories reflect the Aragonese team’s ability to produce in different areas of the game and maintain its performance from one round to the next through a highly collective effort.

In addition to this statistical dominance, there has been a particularly significant improvement compared with last season: outside shooting. Three-point shooting was one of the areas in which the team had room to grow, and after five rounds, that progress is already evident in the numbers. Casademont is shooting 35.9% from beyond the arc, the best percentage in the entire domestic competition.
A PROMISING START
Thus, the combination of results and statistics paints a picture of Casademont’s promising start to the season, with the team finding consistency, scoring power and the resources to overcome its opponents. The latest victory in Salamanca, the Aragonese club’s biggest challenge so far, also represents a significant test for a team that has not only won five games out of five but has also become the competition’s collective benchmark.
Sitting alone at the top and boasting the best record in several of the main statistical indicators, the Aragonese side faces the coming rounds with the challenge of extending a run that, for now, allows it to look down on all its rivals from the summit. The next step will come this Sunday, when Casademont hosts Innova-TSN Leganés at Príncipe Felipe (12:15 p.m.).
