Here’s the full FA list.

2019 EuroLeague Free Player Market: Top 10 Power Forwards

Earl Clark (Buducnost VOLİ)

Age / Country: 31 / ABD
EuroLeague Career: 1 season – 29 maç
Stats: 29 games 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 9.1 EFF
Best game: 20 points, 5 rebounds vs Baskonia

Earl Clarke made his EuroLeague debut with Buducnost this past season and went through many ups and downs in Podgorica, just like the rest of the team.

Regardless, he is a sharp scorer when the ball is “hot” and could make a good fit for other EuroLeague teams next season.

Jeremy Evans (Darussafaka Tekfen)

Age/Country: 30/USA
Years of EuroLeague career: 1 season – 27 games
Statistics: 27 matches 9.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, 13.8 EFF
Best Game: 20 points, 8 rebounds vs Khimki Moscow

Another EuroLeague rookie this past season, this time with Turkish side Darussafaka. Evans could make a good back-up for the 4 or 5 positions in any EuroLeague team. He was more productive towards the second part of the season, as he found more chances on the offensive end with the arrival of Toney Douglas in the team.

DeShawn Thomas (Panathinaikos)

Age/Country: 30 / USA
EuroLeague career : 5 seasons – 133 matches
Statistics: 32 matches 10.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 10.0 EFF
Best Match : 25 points, 6 rebounds vs Khimki Moscow

Panathinaikos has been through many ups and downs this season, though Rick Pitino’s arrival to the team meant to change everything. Just like the rest of the team, Thomas geared up and became a valuable option on the offensive end of the Greens.

Moreover, he had a starring role in the last few games of the season, and posted double-digit numbers in 13 of the last 14 games, with an average of 14.1 points.

Brock Motum (Anadolu Efes)

Age/Country : 30/Australia
Years of EuroLeague Career : 4 seasons – 114 matches
Statistics: 31 matches 6.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 5.6 EFF
Best Game: 16 points, 3 rebounds vs CSKA Moscow

While Anadolu Efes had a dream season in EuroLeague, things did not work out for Brock Motum. After his presence with Zalgiris, Motum was transferred to Efes, but he couldn’t give the desired results in Turkey, and ended with a EuroLeague-low of 6.5 points in his four seasons.

However, we should keep in mind that he was a bit overshadowed. Adrien Moerman’s efficiency throughout the season left little to no room for Motum.

That being said, let’s see if the Australian can take his talents to another EuroLeague team next season.

Aaron White (Zalgiris Kaunas)

Age/Country: 26/USA
Years of EuroLeague Career: 2 seasons – 70 matches
Statistics: 34 matches 8.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 10.0 EFF
Best Game: 21 points, 8 rebounds vs Barcelona

Next, there is one of the favorite names in the transfer market. Aaron White played an important role in the last two successful seasons of the Lithuanian team.

His athleticism, energy and position made him one of Saras’s favorites and a regular in the rotation with an average of 24.5 minutes per game.

Chris Singleton (FC Barcelona Lassa)

Age/Country: 29/USA
Years of EuroLeague career: 4 seasons – 133 matches
Statistics: 35 matches 8.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 8.7 EFF
Best Game: 18 points, 5 rebounds vs Olympiakos

Chris Singleton is one of the biggest disappointments this season. Last summer, the American PF, who was chased after the giants of EuroLeague, had won the title of Barcelona’s most lucrative deal.

Barcelona couldn’t get what he wanted from Singleton, even though they had a better run this season. During the entire season, the Blaugranas waited in some way for him to adapt to the game system. Especially his playoff performance was a big disappointment for Barcelona.

The 29-year-old is set free and is not as popular as in summer 2018 after such a season.
