We’re entering mid-July, the Olympic Games are getting closer, and therefore a busy summer for players representing their countries. After that, however, in just a matter of a couple of months, the EuroLeague comes back.
While the vast majority of teams have already made the right adjustments for their respective rosters ahead of the 2024-25 season, there are still some high-level players on the market throughout Europe.
After listing the Top 10 free agents in the point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward, and center position before the start of the transfer market, let’s now take a look at the Top 10 for the remaining free agents in all positions that could start from a new place in next year’s EuroLeague.
Will Clyburn
Age: 34
Last season: 25 games, 13.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists
Will Clyburn has been vocal about being the best small forward in Europe. It is indeed pretty hard to debate his opinion.
At the end of his contract with Anadolu Efes, an intriguing free agent. Any team picking up the native of Detroit would immediately boost a bid to contend for the EuroLeague championship.
Following a breakout campaign with Darussafaka, he moved his talents to CSKA in 2017. In 2019, he was crowned EuroLeague champion. In 2022, he joined Anadolu Efes to partner with Shane Larkin and Vasilije Micic.
Jordan Loyd
Age: 30
Last season: 20 games, 10.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists
Spending the last two years at AS Monaco, various injuries slowed down Jordan Loyd. He was limited to 20 appearances in the 2023-24 season.
The former NBA champion in 2019 has become a veteran of five seasons in the EuroLeague, including multiple solid showings helping the Monegasque side reach the 2023 Final Four. Instead of dominating the ball, he was effective in complementing leading teammates, Mike James and Elie Okobo.
Set to become a free agent this summer, his qualities naturally attract several EuroLeague clubs’ attention.
Serge Ibaka
Age: 34
Last season: 28 games, 12.6 points (48% 3pts), 6.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.2 blocks
From a solid run in the NBA to the EuroLeague, Serge Ibaka opted to move to Germany and join FC Bayern Munich. A quick adjustment led him from simply displaying well-known talents to becoming a new team leader.
Helping Pablo Laso’s side on both ends of the court, his experience from the NBA and international basketball came in handy, and so did his three-pointers.
At 34, he was brilliant in his first full campaign in Europe’s premier club continental competition.
Shabazz Napier
Age: 32
Last season: 16 games, 10.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists
A turbulent year saw Shabazz Napier penning a two-year contract with Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet in the summer and returning to EA7 Emporio Armani Milan in December.
Following the conclusion of the 2022-23 season, he left the team based in Milan. Signing with the Belgrade outfit generated excitement but did not meet expectations en route to an early exit. Reuniting with Olimpia Milan, he displayed his talents but lacked consistency.
Sticking around at the capital of fashion with a new contract is uncertain at this point. As a free agent, he will be on the radar of several EuroLeague teams for the point guard position.
