1. Greak Freak. He's amazing. And while he's a pure Nigerian who happened to be born and live in Greece and so it's a bit of another feeling to put him here than some white stiff, he's officially European and by far the best baller of the continent. Actually I think he's the leading MVP candidate today in NBA.
2. Jokic. Here's that stiff. Also fast food junky or at least used to be. However nearly a triple double machine and best passing big in bball history.
3. Porzingis. He was on superstar mode when playing. Seems like he might be an injury prone, but he's a machine when he's healthy.
4. Rudy Gobert. I don't know what Jazz does to score him 18pts, but he does, and his defensive presence is massive.
and there things get tricky? how would you go from here?
Here's the thing - Mirotic balling (is he really that good as he is now?), Gallinari, Dragic, both Bogdanovics balling, Bjelica, Vucevic, JV, Schroder, M. Gasol still somewhat relevant, Batum, Fournier, Nurkic, Kanter looking solidly (what did I miss?)...and I don't know what happened to Saric because I kinda see him as one of the best Euros at the moment, but something really happened to him.
But! There's only three names that I want to follow from elite names in first 4 positions, who has a real shot to become the members new Euro hierarchy:
5. Doncic. He's just destined to be great. Yet he's just warming up, but he will be great. 19yo.
6. Sabonis. And some of you would be surprised, but he's a beast. He's tough, mobile, bully inside, can make a jumper, rebounding machine, good passer. I call him baby Jokic or as someone said baby fundamental. Really one of the best bigs in NBA already, a bit underused by Indiana. 22yo.
7. Markkanen. Extremely gifted scorer. Now injured, but he can be an elite Euro in NBA, IMo. 21yo.
and these 2 fellows that, IMO, should be included:
8. Mirotic. He's getting into prime, and yet he's already 27yo he can dominate the league for quite some time now, even if I'm not sure
he'll remain that good on regular basis.
9. Saric. He's a great all around offensive player. Don't know what's happening with him this season, but he's only 24yo and should wake up as one of the best Euros now.
Discuss and deliver your list.

His type of players wouldn't be a smell in my team. He's a good scorer (not very efficient BTW), but that's about it. No passing instincts, ballhog, semi- chucker. If you need a consistent medium-efficient scorer, take him, but that's all you gonna get from him. Besides, he's an average defender. Not an elite European in NBA, IMO. At least not a top 10 surely, IMO. Saric is surely better from Croats...
