Eurohoops presents you with the Top10 of the most successful summer moves in the Euroleague according to the individual performances of the players whose teams made it to the Top16.
Our decision is based on three criteria. The first are in regards to the individual performance of the player combined with the positive effect this performance has for the targets of his club. The third has to do with whether it was expected from a player to have such an impact on his team, in combination with his salary, which is the last of our concerns.
We also have to clarify one more thing. We didn’t take into account the players who signed with their teams just before the end of the regular season or signed with an other team before the Top16, because we consider their sample of games very limited. We promise that we will revisit this list and we will post the definitive top 10 after the end of the season.

[lptitle title=“Nando De Colo (CSKA Moscow)“]
[lpcontent]
It was a given that he will provide extra quality in CSKA’s back court. However, he has formed almost from the get go a great duo with Milos Teodosic. He scores a lot, he is a great passer, he steals balls. He is a great addition.

[lptitle title=“Andrew Goudelock (Fenerbahce/ Ulker)“]
[lpcontent]
He is an amazing scorer. He is gifted in offense and he is very hard to stop one on one. He is already one of the best offensive players of the league but he will be a top player and a leader of a championship team when he improves his on-court decisions and his creative ability.

[lptitle title=“Jeremy Pargo (Maccabi Tel Aviv)“]
[lpcontent]
He is back to being a leader after a turbulent season in CSKA Moscow and he reminds us of Jeremy of the 2010-11 season. He scores, he creates for others and he gets the ball in his hands when it counts. He has already made an impressive comeback, but he will be judged by the end result of the season.

[lptitle title=“James Anderson (Zalgiris)“]
[lpcontent]
Once more Zalgiris hit the jackpot with the selection of an American player. He can do everything well enough on the court, he is a leader but also a good teammate. His fast adaptation in the Euroleague proves that he can do more in the future if he stays in Europe.

[lptitle title=“Bogdan Bogdanovic (Fenerbahce/ Ulker)“]
[lpcontent]
A pure scorer and a reliable shooter, he has improved his defense under coach Obradovic and it seems that he is trying to do the same with his creating ability. He’s a player of great quality, he can be a main pillar of Fenerbahce/ Ulker for years to come, unless the NBA comes knocking.
