Even in the extraordinarily tall world of basketball, some players in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague manage to be taller than Europe’s biggest and their majestic figures help them remain a sensation throughout their careers.
Eurohoops found the 10 biggest players in the history of the EuroLeague and looked at how they fared in their European careers through their stats.
WALTER TAVARES
Country: Cape Verde
Height: 2.20 m
EuroLeague Career: Real Madrid
EuroLeague Stats: 18 games, 7.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.6 blocks
Walter Tavares, even though still a fresh EuroLeague face in his debut season, managed to get on the list.
He’s impossible to miss with his majestic height of 2.20 meters and his quick feet. He uses his speed to try to be everywhere on the court and he’s a good rim protector, as shown by his average of 1.6 blocks.
Tavares’s work rate, combined with those long limbs, is one of the most vital elements in Real Madrid‘s injury-riddled season.
It’s going to be fun watching him play as the pressure increases for Madrid in this season’s tough competition.
