The team of the playoffs

By Lefteris Moutis/ moutis@eurohoops.net

The Euroleague fantasy enters the last and most crucial phase of the season. The games in the playoffs are non-stop, the available players are fewer and things can change easily.

The Top 16 has been completed and the Euroleague fantasy now becomes much more direct and rapid, since after each series of games you’ll be able to change even your whole team.

The “dowry,” then, of every team in fantasy ahead of the playoffs is the credits that they’ve gathered in all this time. The Eurohoops.net team gathered 692,7 credits, accumulated 3.868 points and is at 643rd position in the game overall. In the Eurohoops league, the leader so far is EVICROCK, who is 100 points ahead of the last one.

Let’s see which players are in better condition ahead of the playoffs. Along the perimeter, the duo of Teodosic-Rodriguez is expected to be very popular, since CSKA’s guard is the best in this position and Real’s one shows that he’s going through a period of being in form. Aside from them, Nick Calathes and Bobby Dixon also look like good options.

Along the perimeter, Nando De Colo’s presence on the team is nonnegotiable, as he is by far the best and most consistent player of the season. Delaney is expected to take initiatives in the game against Barcelona and will reaffirm the roles of scorer and creator. Adam Hanga is in form and, because of Causeur’s absence, is going to play an important role in Laboral’s game. Finally, the “risk” is going to be Alex Abrines, who has been taking on more attempts in recent games and who shows that he can make the difference. Beyond that, Luigi Datome, Nikita Kurbanov and Elliot Williams can also be of assistance.

As for the frontline, Ioannis Bourousis has been in excellent shape throughout the entire season and is going to do everything for Laboral against Panathinaikos. He’s going to encounter Miroslav Raduljica and he will definitely manage to beat him in defense several times. The Serbian center is an excellent choice for a game like this. Lokomotiv will try to strike Barcelona on their lack of athleticism and Anthony Randolph looks like a sure bet. Fenerbahce has a shortage of big men, but Ayon is much more expensive and not as fit. On the contrary, Reyes was born for these kinds of games. Zvezda’s two big men (Miller and Zirbes) are also good options, as is Udoh who is Fenerbahce’s only center.
