Euroleague Basketball Best Players of All Time

Jalen Rose

EuroLeague basketball is one of the most prestigious international professional club competitions in Europe. It features teams from some of the strongest European leagues and offers a high level of competition, with each team vying for glory as they compete against top-tier opponents throughout the season.

The EuroLeague culminates in an intense Top 16 stage where championship dreams are either realized or crushed. At this point, performances can often be recognized by individual players who stand out above their peers and receive recognition through MVP awards such as Nate Huffman’s FIBA SuproLeague MVP award and the Euroleague Top 16 MVP award based on PIR stat measuring performance across multiple categories.

He spent his first four seasons with the Brooklyn Nets before being traded to Élan Chalon Sur Saône in 2015-16. Davies then signed with Openjobmetis Varese for the 2016-17 season, where he won EuroLeague Player of The Year honors after averaging 17 points and seven rebounds per game.

After two seasons in France, Davies made an agreement with Barcelona for the 2018-19 season which proved fruitful as they narrowly missed out on winning the La Liga crown but did manage a spot in the Champions League competition due to their superior head-to-head record against Real Madrid (Davies also had 14 double-doubles over those two campaigns).

Following another stellar year at Barcelona - this time leading them all the way to becoming Spanish champions - Daviess agreed once again with Olimpia Milano for the 2019–2022 campaign.
