The NBA 2K18 is becoming globally available this week and while there are no EuroLeague teams in this year’s 2K edition, European basketball fans may still play as some of the most famous stars of last season’s competition.
To the surprise of no one, NBA teams also shopped from the pool of EuroLeague players during offseason, including members of the All-First Team and All-Second Team of the championship in their “to-buy” lists.
Thus some of the most prominent players or young stars of the 2016-2017 season are featured in 2K18 since they are now members of NBA teams. Here are their profiles.
Mike James (Phoenix Suns, Panathinaikos) and Brandon Paul (San Antonio Spurs, ex Anadolu Efes) aren’t included in the game so far.
Bogdan Bogdanovic (Sacramento Kings, ex Fenerbahce)
First of all: OUCH. Bogdanovic’s look leaves us a bit puzzled but we like the “Aggressive Scorer” part, even though it sounds mundane compared to the general impact he has on offense. But yes, he’s a guy who can lay it to the hoop in all manners imaginable and from all corners of the floor. His shooting could’ve been bosted up if you take into account that while in Europe, he often shot way beyond the NBA 3-point range.
