A few months prior, we named the Liga Endesa as the best European League. This time, we will evaluate the best 10 leagues, their leaders, surprises and disappointments.
Here’s how European leagues said goodbye to 2017.
Spain – ACB
Leader: After 14 rounds, Real Madrid stays on top of the standings, regardless of its misfortunes this season.
Unmet expectations: Unicaja is going through a not-so-satisfying season. With the current standings, they seem out of the playoffs race, yet there’s still room left in the season.
The surprise element: Fuenlabrada currently ranks second. Will the team stick around until the end and make it to the playoffs? Time will tell.
Turkey – BSL
Leaders: Tofas and Fenerbahce are the Turkish Basketball Super Ligi leaders at the moment, sharing a 11-2 record each.
Unmet expectations: After 13 rounds, Anadolu Efes still struggles and remains low in the standings, which is also depicted on its EuroLeague record.
The surprise element: Tofas’ improvement and leadership has to be the most notable part of the Turkish league so far in the season.
