It was time for Kendrick Nunn to feature on our EuroLeague Fantasy team.
Considering our options for the first two-game week of the 2024-25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season, the superstar of Panathinaikos Aktor immediately emerged.
First things first though. Let us rewind to our tips before Round 2 of the Regular Season. Picking up Sasha Vezenkov was more than successful.
The leader of Olympiacos got an MVP nod for his Round 2 performance. Consequently, he also scored plenty of Fantasy points, confirming our projections.
Tyrique Jones of Partizan Mozzart Bet blended in nicely as well. Keeping him or adding the 27-year-old American big is the way to move forward because he produces Fantasy points and is an affordable choice.
Of course, retaining Vezenkov is a must for any Fantasy team.
On to the top half of the double-game week, we believe it is time to add Nunn.
Here is the case of the Chicago native. He is far from a player with contributions across multiple stat lines, besides mainly scoring points.
This is the reason why his price has not skyrocketed but instead remained at a relatively reduced range of 13.1 units, despite his well-documented talents.
Starting the season with 5.5 assists and 17.5 PIR per contest, and looking into an up-tempo game to be complemented by Paris in Adidas Arena on Tuesday, we believe Nunn will have a huge outing.
Besides Nunn, we also suggest adding Tamir Blatt of Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv, a cost-effective option at 8.1 units.
A key player for head coach Oded Kattash, coming off double-digit efforts in assists between the first two games of the season, including an MVP nod in Round 1 behind a PIR of 36. With Jordan Loyd moving his talents to AS Monaco, his role is getting even bigger.
