The 50 Best Players of the Euroleague 2026/27

The EuroLeague faces the 2026-27 season with an extraordinary collection of talent. The European competition once again brings together some of the biggest stars of international basketball, established veterans, players returning from across the Atlantic, and young talents expected to become key figures in the coming years. Additionally, the transfer market has led to significant changes in several top teams. 

The reigning champion is Olympiacos, who clinched the 2025-26 EuroLeague title and is once again a top contender. The Greek team boasts a pivotal player in Sasha Vezenkov, the MVP of the last season after a stellar campaign. His scoring ability, rebounding dominance, and knack for creating advantages from various positions once again place him among the leading candidates to lead the competition. 

Kendrick Nunn also starts in a privileged position. The Panathinaikos shooting guard has solidified his status as one of the most impactful perimeter players in Europe, thanks to his capability to create his own shots, attack the rim, and take charge in clutch moments. His offensive output and experience in critical junctures make him one of the prime contenders for individual accolades.

The list also introduces significant novelties. Mike James, one of the most dominant players in recent EuroLeague history, has swapped AS Monaco for Anadolu Efes in one of the summer's most noteworthy deals. The American remains an extraordinary offensive threat and features prominently in the competition's official stats as both a current and historical production leader.

Among the standout names are players coming off outstanding seasons. Sylvain Francisco was included in the All-EuroLeague First Team for 2025-26, while Jean Montero was named the Rising Star and also made the competition's Best Team. Elijah Bryant, Nikola Milutinov, and Wade Baldwin garnered other significant individual recognitions from the past season.

The following ranking is an editorial classification of the top 50 players in the EuroLeague for the 2026-27 season, considering recent performance, individual impact, ability to influence games, experience, defensive level, and their new team context. It is not an official EuroLeague ranking and may evolve during the season as players showcase their abilities. Additionally, some team rosters were still subject to changes at the end of August.
