Brad Wanamaker (age 27)

Stats: 15.8 ponts, 4.8 assists (Euroleague)

The Pittsburgh Panthers product is now at his sixth year playing in Europe and he has deservingly climbed his way to the top tier clubs. Currently playing for Darussafaka in Turkey, Wanamaker is a point guard with quarterback skills.

He has a very strong upper body that helps him to absorb contact when driving in the lane and a deadly outside shot. At the same time his quick hands and feet help him harass opposing guards with his defense.

Wanamaker ranked first in steals during the regular season and, such is his worth and importance that, his one month absence due to a minor injury was fatal to his team’s fortunes.
