The 2017-2018 season is over and Real Madrid is the ultimate winner, while the rest of the teams are concerned with everything that went wrong on the court.
The clubs want to appear improved in the new season and the coaches, in collaboration with the teams’ management, have already started thinking about the day after. This includes several transfer moves at a time when long-range shooting and the three-pointer are an integral part of every team’s game plan.
Eurohoops singles out players who possess a venomous shot and who are definitely on the transfer list of several EuroLeague teams…
James Nunnally
Stats: 9.3 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists
Three-point shooting percentage (2017/2018): 55.4%
Career percentage in three-point shooting: 50.6%
James Nunnally was signed by Fenerbahce in the summer of 2016 and immediately helped the Turkish team reach the historic EuroLeague win in May of 2017. Zeljko Obradovic gave the American even more playing time in the season that was just completed and he took full advantage of the opportunity by improving his averages.
The 55.4% with which Nunnally executes from behind the 6.75m line is the second-best percentage in the competition and places him among the most charismatic shooters. His contract expires in the next few weeks and it remains to be seen whether Fenerbahce will make a move in order to renew their collaboration with the player.
Any coach who wants to add to his roster a guard that’s a threat from long-range has the name of James Nunnally very high on his transfer list.
