Coming out of perhaps the most competitive season in Turkish Airlines EuroLeague history, all teams will be looking for pieces to strengthen their respective rosters during the offseason.

Plenty of free agents scattered all around the place, including household names guaranteed to make noise in the summer.

Scanning EuroLeague’s free-agent market in the EuroLeague, Eurohoops compiles the Top 10 list of the best available power forwards.

Check out our Top 10 lists of point guards, shooting guards, and small forwards. Centers will wrap up the free-agent week Friday.

NOTE: Players with a +1 year option in their contract are not included in the list.

Zach LeDay

Age: 29

Season stats: 39 games, 11.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.2 assists

Zach LeDay dropped in from Olimpia Milan and a Final Four appearance to Partizan. Alongside Kevin Punter and their remaining teammates, the path went from the 7DAYS EuroCup to the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague.

Certainly among the key players for legendary tactician Zeljko Obradovic, LeDay is crucial in both offense and defense. The experienced forward/center can finish inside the paint and also defend all positions with his quickness and athleticism.

Augustine Rubit

Age: 33

Season stats: 20 games, 10.9 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists

Coming out of his fifth EuroLeague campaign and a season-ending injury in February, Augustine Rubit is likely to draw EuroLeague interest as a free agent.

Before the setback, he was named the January MVP. The go-to guy in Andrea Trinchieri’s offense with an increased role compared to the previous season. Apart from scoring from inside and midrange, creating three-point opportunities for teammates slides in as an additional bonus.

Achille Polonara

Age: 31

Season stats: 20 games, 4.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists

Shifting from Anadolu Efes to Zalgiris in January, Achille Polonara committed for the rest of the season and thus will become a free agent this summer.

The experienced Italian forward previously played for Fenerbahce and had an impactful run as a Baskonia player from 2019 to 2021. Adding to EuroLeague experience will be the offseason priority with such opportunities likely to surface.
