Round 1 of EuroLeague Fantasy was a huge success for Eurohoops picks.
Did you follow our advice? We hope so, because we went 100% on our predictions and our team absolutely dominated the opening week.
We also hope you did well, and thank you for joining in — the Eurohoops Fantasy League has already gathered nearly 1,000 players!

Who did we recommend?
The reliable Kendrick Nunn and Sasha Vezenkov, both outstanding – and of course we’re keeping them – plus Moses Wright and Thomas Walkup.
The former Olympiacos center, now with Zalgiris, came close to being MVP with a 28 PIR (just one behind Nunn, one ahead of Vezenkov), and his value rose from 10.5 to 11.3.
He’s still a bargain for what he delivers, so we see no reason not to keep trusting him.
Walkup didn’t exactly light it up (12 PIR), but he was available at a low price and, with Olympiacos currently short on point guards, he gave us exactly the points we needed.
Round 2 must-picks
For this week, here are our three “must” additions:
Devon Hall: Still very cheap at 8.9, even after posting 23 Fantasy points (plus the win) in Round 1. He’s carried his Final Four form into this season, is a starter, and continues to produce at a high level.
Jordan Nwora: Crvena Zvezda is battling multiple injuries (Bolomboy, Canaan, Devonte’ Graham, Rivero), and Nwora played 30 minutes in the opener with a strong performance. Alternatively, you can go for center Ebuka Izundu, since Giannis Sfairopoulos is short on big men.
Saliou Niang: The Italian international forward logged nearly 27 minutes in Virtus Bologna’s win over Real Madrid. He had the team’s highest PIR (16) and second-most minutes. Still priced at just 7.8 despite a strong EuroBasket, he’s an excellent value pick and even a starter option.
