The EuroLeague 2018-19 Regular Season is reaching its final and crucial stages. Over two hundred players have played at least one minute during the first 19 Gamedays. However, a selected bunch is living Europe’s premier competition to the full averaging over 25 minutes on the court per match.
Simone Pianigiani is the coach that has trusted two of his AX Armani Exchange Olimpia Milan’s players more than any other colleague. Mike James sits on top of the standings with the most-used players, while his teammate Vladimir Micov follows in second place. The duo is accountable for 654 of the EuroLeague-leading 1.647 points scored by the Italians this year.
Anadolu Efes is the only other team with a pair of representatives in EuroLeague’s Top 10 of the players with the most minutes played. Vasilije Micic is sixth and Adrien Moerman ninth. It’s also worth noting that CSKA Moscow’s Will Clyburn fit in the Top 10 despite missing out on Round 11 action.
