The 6 Euroleague players who could go to the NBA

In the Euroleague there is a lot of basketball. Much great player. A lot of emotion, a lot of work. Vibrant matches that every week delight the spectator who sticks to his chair to enjoy the best possible matches in European basketball.

Histories like CSKA de Moscú, Fenerbahce, Panathinaikos, Olympiakos, Zalgiris Kaunas, Real Madrid o FC Barcelona among many others they battle to be crowned the best team on the old continent.

A very different basketball from the one we can see in the NBA but also with its particular appeal. More defensive, more iron, less spectacular, more tactical.

And it is in this context that some of the best players in the competition are cooked who, due to the level and performance they are showing at this level, would fit perfectly in the best league in the world. We offer these interesting names:

– Mike James: the talented North American point guard has already been linked to the NBA several times. Not drafted in 2012, he subsequently tried his luck on two short, unsuccessful stints at the Phoenix Suns and the New Orleans Pelicans. One of the best European players of the moment, trained to score from any side of the court. Long distance command, outside shooting, strong penetration and good game director. Current lighthouse of CSKA Moscow

– Shane Larkin: former Dallas Mavericks, New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics. The American with a Turkish passport is a base similar to the previous one, also with many points and a level of play higher than the rest. A strange NBA in Europe that should not be long in coming back.

– Scottie Wilbekin: the thing is about bases at the moment and in the Maccabi we find a very, very good one. The Turk was not drafted in 2014 and has never played in the NBA. A compulsive scorer both from outside and penetration, excellent at dividing the area and folding balls to the corners, a very explosive player and hot moments as they like in the USA.

– Will Clyburn: we return to Russia, again to CSKA in Moscow. A very physical 2-3 of those of yesteryear, of those who carve 80% of their points in the paint and which is also a more than valuable argument for the defense. Not drafted in 2013, MVP of the last Euroleague Final Four and no NBA experience, but it shouldn’t be long.

– Alexei Shved: The Khimki escort has been proving his worth for several seasons in the Turkish Airlines Euroleague. After defending the Minnesota Timberwolves, Philadelphia Sixers and Houston Rockets jackets, the Russian is a scorer like few who has already signed his performance, for example, in the two Olympic and European bronzes that he accumulates with his country. Very comfortable in his country, more veteran, but with enough level for a secondary role in the NBA.

– Facundo Campazzo: what to say about Chicho Terremoto. The low base of Real Madrid is pure heart, energy and talent. A passing vision that would ensure a show every night in the NBA.

But the list of names does not end. Walter Tavares, Nikola Mirotic, Jordan Loyd, Byant Dunston, Nikola Kalinic… A lot of talent in this Euroleague, we will see if finally the NBA franchises approach Europe to reinforce their ranks.
