Nicolo Melli

Nicolo Melli is a versatile 27-year old forward who currently plays for Euroleague champions Fenerbahce. He was named to the 2016-17 All-EuroLeague Second Team and this year he averaged 8.2 points and 5.2 rebounds per game.

The numbers are hiding the full truth because he joined a stacked team in 2017 and he is fighting for playing time alongside ex-NBA players like Jan Vesely and Luigi Datome.

Following the trend, he is a big man who can shoot the ball very well, does not fear contact and has decent ball handling skills. He is very coachable and transforms his game to suit the style and needs of his teams.
