Although experience is important and many times crucial in a competition like Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, sometimes ‘fresh blood’ is necessary to push a team further and the 2017-2018 campaign had more than enough.
Here is the list of Top 10 debutants in the 2017-2018 EuroLeague, according to the official website of the competition:
Per EuroLeague.net:
10. Janis Timma, KIROLBET Baskonia Vitoria Gasteiz
After proving himself as a force in the 7DAYS EuroCup both in the paint and from the perimeter, Janis Timma made a big impact for Baskonia in his first EuroLeague campaign with averages of 7.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. He ranked third in the competition by making 67.4% of his two-point attempts and knocked down 41.2% of his triples. Timma flaunted his scoring ability with 24 points on 5-of-9 three-point shooting in a Round 11 victory over Unicaja Malaga and delivered an excellent all-around showing with 10 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals in a Round 29 win at FC Barcelona Lassa. The fact that he started 27 games and played the second-most minutes (22:45) on Baskonia speaks volumes of how valuable he was in the team’s run to another playoff appearance.
