The current Basketball Champions League season features some players who are proving their scoring value. Many BCL teams count on their offense and specifically on their players’ scoring touch. The first round of the group stage was a testament to these prolific scorers.
Eurohoops rounded up Champions League’s top scoring guns just before the start of the second half of BCL’s group stage.
1. Khalif Wyatt – UNET Holon (22.8pts, 5.4ast-2.6reb, 1.8stl)
