Real Madrid and Barcelona are exceptions, each featuring six Spaniards among the 16 players they used.<\/p>\n<p>The average age of American players in Liga Endesa is 29.7 years, playing <strong>19.9 minutes and scoring 9.9 points on average<\/strong>, while Spaniards, younger (26.9 years) and slightly taller (1.97m vs. 1.95m), play fewer minutes (10.8) and score less (4.9 points). Only 27.8% of the league\u2019s players are American, and among last season\u2019s top five scorers, three are American, while the first Spaniard (Willy Hernang\u00f3mez) ranks 19th.<\/p>\n<p>At UCAM Murcia, the first Spanish player appeared only in Round 21 last season. Baskonia also features few national players, highlighting a widespread issue as teams increasingly rely on international talent. Liga Endesa continues to dominate as Europe\u2019s most foreign-driven league, reflecting a structural crisis for local players.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the tenth consecutive year, Liga Endesa has the highest percentage of foreign players<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":417901,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[34],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-417902","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-acb"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/12\/RS608105__02.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417902","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/146"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=417902"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417902\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/417901"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=417902"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=417902"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=417902"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=417902"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=417902"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=417902"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
