Winning the trophy is the No. 1 goal for the teams of the EuroLeague but, at the same time, the stars of the competition are going after unique individual distinctions that will secure them a place in history.
Besides, the competition’s new format with 30 games throughout the regular season gives athletes the opportunity to climb up in the various statistical categories faster.
Eurohoops sorted out and presents here the situation in the statistical tables ahead of the new season…
Blocks: Dunston, Tyus, Lasme and Hines for the lead
Fran Vazquez is at the top of the list with the most blocks in the history of the EuroLeague but falling into lower places is just a matter of time. Bryant Dunston, Kyle Hines, Alex Tyus and Stephane Lasme are coming after him and they’re not messing around, so at the end of the season they will find themselves a lot higher on the list.
Will Efes’s center manage to climb to first place? How far will Panathinaikos’s Gabonese big go since he has the highest average (1.3 blocks) compared to all the other athletes still playing?
