Who are the Top 10 Americans in this year’s Euroleague so far? A very tough question, if you want to be fair! Numbers are an important indicator, but not the only one that we have to take under serious consideration. Because statistics are a comparison measure that is not perfectly balanced.
Each player has a different role in their team, some play a lot, other considerably less, there are those that do everything and others that impress but who don’t have the same level of quality in Teamwork.
Eurohoops chose 10 with difficulty and with the following clear criteria: individual performance and productivity though in direct correlation to their team’s course and the Status Quo of the club for which they play in the league. That is, their team’s potential to go a long way in the institution but also whether certain clubs have already surpassed themselves, with the players that we’ve selected having had a hand in this!
In our own European approach what counts a lot is collective success and this is why the selections are only from those present in the Top 16.

[lptitle title=”10. Jaycee Carroll (Real Madrid)”]

He is quietly having his best season in the league. Not only because he is shooting 47,3% in threes, but because he is more mature than ever, coming off the bench in a team full of talent and being always a factor. Simply put, when the offense of Madrid is not clicking, he is the instant solution and his condition after his injury in Madrid’s Final Four will be more than crucial for Madrid.
