The European Player of the Year award is back! Vote for the best player out of 12 candidates and Eurohoops will award him for you!
The unofficial… “assist” was given by FIBA Europe, which no longer give out the award to the best European over the last two years. So, Eurohoops made a list of 12 candidates and gives the floor to its readers.
In fact, Eurohoops is going to hand an award to the winner of the poll as chosen by you, based on his performance at a club as well as a national level in 2016.
Milos Teodosic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nando De Colo, Pau Gasol, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Kristaps Porzingis, Rudy Gobert, Sergio Llull, Dario Saric, Nikola Jokic, Sergio Rodriguez or Bojan Bogdanovic?
