After all, the current financial standards and raised salaries have changed the field toward this direction.
This doesn’t seem to be changing, unfortunately, though there are players who prefer the EuroLeague over the NBA (or China) and who make the best competition in our neck of the woods more attractive. Eurohoops rounded up ten athletes who are leaving the NBA and who will grace the courts of the EuroLeague with their presence this season.
Alec Peters: From the Suns to Moscow
For the power forward position, Dimitrios Itoudis chose a player with an excellent shooting ability but a brief stint in the NBA. In his rookie season, Peters played in 20 games with the Suns and in that time he got an impressive career high of 36 points!
Alec Peters was selected with the 54th overall pick in the Draft (2017) by the Phoenix Suns but has decided to play in Europe with CSKA, taking his skills (excellent long-range shooting, good game in the post and the ability to see the court with ease) to Moscow.
