Following selections for the All-EuroLeague Second Team, Eurohoops reveals the All-EuroLeague First Team as voted by 25 editors spread across the global, Greek, Turkish, Spanish, and Russian editions.
The ballots filed at the end of the Regular Season shaped our First Team for the 2023-24 edition of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague. Each first-team vote counted for two points, while second-team votes produced one point.
Facundo Campazzo of Real Madrid, Markus Howard of Baskonia, Kendrick Nunn of Panathinaikos Aktor, Dzanan Musa of Real Madrid, and Jan Vesely of FC Barcelona settled in the Second Team. Our experts also named Kendrick Nunn as the Rookie of the Year and presented respective brackets stretching from the Playoffs to the Final Four.
Here is our All-EuroLeague First team.
MIKE JAMES
AS Monaco| Guard | August 18, 1990 | USA
17.9 pts | 4.1 reb | 5.1 ast | 1.2 stl | 0.1 blk | 2.1 tov | 31:40 min | 19.4 PIR
Mike James fell shy of leading AS Monaco to back-to-back berths in the Final Four. La Roca Team was on the wrong end of a crazy best-of-five series versus Fenerbahce Beko. However, James became the all-time leading scorer of the EuroLeague and got the MVP nod for the first time in his career. All 25 Eurohoops experts put him in their First Team.
WADE BALDWIN IV
Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv | Guard | March 29, 1996 | USA
17.4 pts | 2.5 reb | 4.9 ast | 1 stl | 0.2 blk | 2.6 tov | 27:33 min | 19.1 PIR
Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv remained heavily invested in Wade Baldwin IV. Avoiding an injury in Game 1 of the series against Panathinaikos Aktor, he could have strengthened a bid for his side to play in the Final Four for the first time since the championship run in 2014. He gathered 12 first-team and six second-team votes.
NIGEL HAYES-DAVIS
Fenerbahce Beko | Forward| December 16, 1994 | USA
14.1 pts | 4.7 reb | 1.7 ast | 1 stl | 0.2 blk | 1.3 tov | 31:42 min | 15.9 PIR
Besides making history with a new record for the most points in a single game, behind a 50-point showing, Nigel Hayes-Davis pushed Fener to the Final Four for the first time since 2019. He received 12 first-team and nine second-team votes.
