The heavy schedule in combination with the ongoing commitments do not allow for an All Star Game, but Eurohoops took on the difficult task of dividing the top European and American players into two teams that would take part in the game of the best.
First came the guards of Team Europe and Team USA, followed by the forwards, where the voting continues and the numbers are marginal! Now, it’s time for the centers, with the selections once again being five for every side and the difference in dynamics remaining very small.
Check out the players who makeup Team Europe and Team USA and then cast your vote for the final winner…
TEAM EUROPE (σέντερ)
Jan Vesely (Fenerbahce)
Despite the fact that Jan Vesely played a lot as a power forward alongside Ekpe Udoh in Fenerbahce, his position in Team Europe is that of center.
His athletic qualities and long limbs allow the Czech to play as a ‘5’ and provide help in scoring (9.6 points) and rebounding (4.5 on average) by being fast and highly effective mostly in pick-and-roll situations and, of course, through his game above the rim.
Jan Vesely’s only problem remains his mid-range shooting and his percentage in free throws (55.7%), but let’s not forget that we’re dealing with a key member of the European champions. Aside from everything else, the 27-year-old stars in dozens of highlights.
