There are only four rounds left in the 2023-24 BKT EuroCup Regular Season and six teams already punched their playoff tickets, while three more can qualify this week: Joventut Badalona and Besiktas Emlakjet Istanbul in Group A, as well as ratiopharm Ulm in Group B. This all has an impact in the EuroCup Fantasy Challenge.
Some players have stepped up lately and are certainly worth selecting in Round 15. Here are my five recommendations for this upcoming round.
Kyle Alexander, Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv (13.2 credits)
Alexander has been on fire in 2024. He led Hapoel to an 89-80 win over Wolves Vilnius with 22 points, 13 rebounds and PIR of 37, before going on to record 17 points, 8 rebounds and a PIR of 21 in a losing effort against the London Lions. It was Alexander's lowest PIR in the last four games – 21 – which should bode well for EuroCup Fantasy Challenge managers.
Ante Tomic, Joventut Badalona (13.7 credits)
It is do-or-die time for Joventut and its most experienced players are stepping up. Tomic excelled in Round 14 against Veolia Hamburg Towers, leading Joventut with 21 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists and a PIR of 31. At 36, Tomic knows when it's time to deliver. Expect him to bring out his best basketball in Round 15 against London.
Yigitcan Saybir, Turk Telekom Ankara (7.2 credits)
A very good option at a very reasonable price. Saybir is coming off a stunning performance in Round 14, which saw him collect 21 points, 9 rebounds and a PIR of 25. Those numbers were considerably above his season averages of 6.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and a PIR of 7.1. It should be a turning point for him, so he is definitely an option worth considering in Round 15.
Bryce Jones, U-BT Cluj-Napoca (10.9 credits)
Cluj made it to the playoffs and its next goal is to secure a top-two finish in Group B. Jones has been doing better lately, averaging 15.0 points, 6.0 assists and a PIR of 17.5 in the last couple of games. Every victory will be crucial from here on out, and Jones is ready to keep playing a big role.
Jordan Parks, Umana Reyer Venice (8.3 credits)
Another player on the rise, this time at a very reasonable price. In the last two games, Parks boosted his numbers up to 14.5 points on 10-of-15 two-point shooting, 7.0 rebounds and a PIR of 17.5. Reyer needs Parks to stay aggressive and keep delivering in a vital road game against Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana.
