Top 10 NBA to EuroLeague signings this summer

Euroleague has ranked the 10 players that have joined the league proceeding from the NBA

Simonovic returns to Belgrade after two years in Chicago where he played for the Bulls and the club’s G-League affiliate. Before that Simonovic spent two seasons with Mega Basket. He averaged a double-double for Windy City in 25 G-League games last season, while making nearly 40% of his threes, which should translate into a strong rookie season in the EuroLeague.

Jackson was a scorer off the bench for a pair of seasons with both the New Orleans Pelicans and Detroit Pistons. He spent most of last season in the G League, where he averaged 23.2 points for Salt Lake City, and now brings his penchant for offense to ASVEL.

The younger brother of two-time NBA champion Shannon Brown, Sterling was a part of winning teams in his six NBA seasons; he reached the conference finals with the Milwaukee Bucks in 2020 and two years later with the Dallas Mavericks. His winning DNA should serve him well in Berlin.

Dozier has spent his entire professional career in his native United States, including parts of six seasons in the NBA. He can play all three perimeter positions and should leave his mark on a talented Partizan backcourt.

The No. 2 overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, Parker averaged 14.1 points over eight seasons with six NBA teams. The power forward now plans to show off that scoring touch as a key piece in Barcelona’s rebuilt frontline.

A product of the Real Madrid youth system, Hernangomez played parts of two EuroLeague seasons for Los Blancos early in his career before heading overseas for seven NBA campaigns. Now he returns to Europe with big goals at Barcelona.

Kaminsky is a mobile center with a great outside shooting touch. He was a lottery pick by the Charlotte Hornets after a standout college career with Wisconsin and went on to play eight NBA seasons for four clubs. He now faces a new challenge in Belgrade.

The 15th overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, Hernangomez was just 20 years of age when he left Spain for the NBA, where he spent seven seasons. He seems ticketed for a big role at Coach Ataman’s Panathinaikos squad.

After 14 seasons in the NBA, during which he won the championship title in 2019 with the Toronto Raptors and was named to the All-Defensive Team three times, Ibaka returns to Europe. In Munich, he will be reunited with Pablo Laso, who coached Ibaka at Real Madrid back in 2011.

Walker is a four-time NBA All-Star who once scored 60 points in a game and was third in the league in scoring in 2018-19. He joins a star-studded Monaco backcourt that targets nothing less than another Final Four appearance.
