Before August, projected to feature more exciting additions to EuroLeague clubs, the summer signings so far have made plenty of noise. Numerous arrivals to certainly help their respective new teams in the challenges presented by the 2025-26 season.
Previewing the next edition of Europe’s premier club continental competitions, Eurohoops picked the best transfers completed until July 31.
Some newcomers narrowly missed the cut for the Top 10, while second players from the same team fell shy of our selections.
Such notable absences are Jabari Parker moving to Partizan Mozzart Bet, Elijah Bryant to Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv, Filip Petrusev to Dubai, Nigel Williams-Goss to Zalgiris, Tyson Ward to Olympiacos, and Chima Moneke to Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet.
Let’s go…
10. Nick Weiler-Babb (Anadolu Efes)
