Many transfers have made a splash in the EuroLeague this summer. Quite a few of them stood out. However, there were five cases that, each for their own unique reason, truly stood out. From the best young player, Jean Montero, who moved from Valencia to Olympiacos, to the top guard of the past season, Sylvain Francisco, who ended up at Panathinaikos from Zalgiris after a thriller, with… ASVEL as an intermediate stop!
Along with these resounding transfers of the two “eternal” rivals, came the return home of Jonas Valanciunas to Zalgiris after years in the NBA, the surprise move of the league’s all-time top scorer Mike James from Monaco to Anadolu Efes, and Valencia’s very interesting acquisition, TJ Shorts, who by all accounts will return to his… Paris and Bonn levels.
Somehow, since these transfers are reminiscent of a… video game, we thought it would be interesting to see them in that format. How would the aforementioned players fit on the cover of this year’s NBA 2K27 EuroLeague Edition? Yes, we might be the only ones wondering this, but since we couldn’t shake the darn thought, we quickly asked CHAT GPT what it would think.
Well, here are the results:
1. Jean Montero – Olympiacos
2. Sylvain Francisco – Panathinaikos
3. Mike James – Anadolu Efes
4. Jonas Valanciunas – Zalgiris
5. TJ Shorts – Valencia
