We turned every rock and found the five best European basketball players still balling overseas for you. Maybe they will make the transition to the NBA next season or maybe they will keep on earning their living in Europe

These guys could be decent contributors right away if placed in the right environment. Over the last few years we have witnessed the likes of Milos Teodosic, Daniel Theis, Mirza Teletovic, Bojan and Bogdan Bogdanovic, Davis Bertans and many more.

In this list, we did not take into consideration players that are under 22 years old and therefore eligible for the draft in the coming years like Luka Doncic. We are only looking for players that can join an NBA team as free agents during the 2018 postseason.

And to spice things up even more, all players with past NBA experience were excluded (e.g. Nick Calathes or Sergio Rodriguez).

Without further delay, these our 5 picks from the European pool of players.
