A few EuroLeague players have revealed who, in their opinion, has the best chances of winning the trophy at the upcoming Final Four.
14 EuroLeague players, including Jaleen Smith from Partizan and Joel Bolomboy from Crvena Zvezda, voted, and they reached a somewhat surprising conclusion – nobody sees Olympiacos as the champion!
As expected, Real Madrid received seven votes, Panathinaikos got four votes, and Fenerbahce received three votes.
The “Royal Club” dominated even in the semifinals, as 12 out of 14 players believe they will be better than Olympiacos in that matchup. Only two – Vladimir Lucic and DeShaun Thomas – voted for the Red-Whites.
The other semifinal is more evenly matched, as nine players voted for Panathinaikos to advance to the final, while five voted for Fenerbahce.
According to this survey conducted by Basketnews, it seems that the final should be Real Madrid vs. Panathinaikos.
