The new challenging EuroLeague format leaves little time for rest to the players during the season. However, for some, the situation is slightly worse, as they have to play for their national teams instead of recharging for the new season in summer.
Eurohoops has examined the rosters of all EuroLeague teams, in regards to how many of each team’s players will participate to EuroBasket. Our list also includes preselection choices that might not stick with the national teams until the end.
Eurobasket players: 8
Countries: Turkey, Serbia, Italy, Greece
Bobby Dixon, Sinan Guler, Melih Mahmutoglou, Baris Hersek, Marko Guduric, Nikola Kalinic, Gigi Datome, Nicolo Melli and Kostas Sloukas are the 9 players of the reigning EuroLeague champions currently occupied with Eurobasket. (Update: Nikola Kalinic was ultimately cut from Serbia due to injury).
