Being an established NBA player means that you can be a star in the EuroLeague right?
Well that’s not always the case as we are check wether NBA veterans are getting it done or struggling in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague.
Except for Kendrick Nunn and Serge Ibaka, multiple other former NBA players or even stars are far from having a massive impact on their respective teams.
During the offseason, EuroLeague teams picked up players from the league based in North America.
Certainly household names. Lacking experience in Europe but with plenty of experience in the NBA, including Kemba Walker.
The route is becoming more popular for American players every year. Money, glory, competition. What else could you ask for?
Succeeding in the intensity of the EuroLeague is a complicated task. In contrast to the NBA peaking in the Playoffs, the EuroLeague season is demanding from start to finish. “Every Game Matters” is the motto and sets the main difference between the leagues.
Eurohoops gathered the most important players opting to move on from the NBA and join EuroLeague clubs. We did not include Spanish brothers Juancho and Willy Hernangomez, because they are from Europe.
Scroll down for a recap of many adventures in the EuroLeague.
Kemba Walker: 4.4 points, 1.1 assists, 11:20′ 
Reporting on Kemba, we compared his individual best in the EuroLeague to his NBA-high and were not expecting to see 13 points versus 60 points.
60 points!
He averaged 19.3 points per NBA game from 2011 to last season.
AS Monaco adding him marked one of the biggest EuroLeague signings ever. But basketball seems to have moved on from the 33-year-old point guard.
Adjusting in a crowded backcourt was a long process. Limited playing time with limited contribution so far. We are unsure about the future.
Walker is well shy of the standout player at the Charlotte Hornets with four berths in the All-Star Game.
