We’re halfway through the transfer season with most teams setting up their plans for next season through new signings and contract extensions. While most free agents on the market this offseason have found their home for the next campaign, some big names remain up for grabs in every position.
Eurohoops presents the Top 10 free agents still available on the market in the list that follows, as well as a few honorable mentions.
Note: Names such as Howard Sant-Roos, Alexey Shved, Krunoslav Simon, Sergio Llull, and Nicolas Laprovittola typically remain free agents but are not included on our list, as they have either agreed to deals or have agreed to contract extensions with their existing clubs, with the official announcements still pending in both cases.
Kevin Pangos (Zenit Saint Petersburg)
Age / Country: 28 / Canada
EuroLeague career: 4 seasons – 140 games
Stats: 39 games, 13.5 points, 2 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 14.8 PIR
Best game: 33 points, 11 assists, 41 PIR vs. Panathinaikos
After an underwhelming 2019-20 season with Barcelona, Kevin Pangos moved to Russia joining Zenit and it ended up being a match made in heaven.
The Canadian point guard took over all the responsibility the floor general could take and delivered clutch performance after clutch performance, pushing Zenit to historic success as the club reached the Euroleague playoffs for the first time.
They even managed to, despite all odds, force Game 5 in the quarterfinals against Barcelona, being very close to a complete upset as well.
At this point, it’s obvious that he will not continue in Zenit and his priority remains the NBA.
