With the playoffs just around the corner, it’s a good time to look at the best young rookies of the 2019-20 7DAYS EuroCup season. The selected players are establishing themselves early in their careers. Some of them will finish strong runs with the conclusion of the Top 16 stage, but others are set for the next round.
Here is the breakdown:
Rashawn Thomas (Partizan NIS)
Age: 25
Height: 2.03m
Stats: 9.6 PTS, 5 REB, 11.2 PIR
Moving through his second European campaign, the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi alumni is proving his case. Thomas paid his dues in G League before his overseas jump, joined Dinamo Sassari for the 2018-19 season, and signed a two-year contract with Partizan last summer.
Thomas introduced himself to the EuroCup stage with a very strong regular-season run, averaging 13 points per outing. Has been held to 4.8 points per match in the Top 16, but helped the Serbian club clinch first place in its group.
