The EuroLeague season has officially begun, and there was no shortage of excitement during the first day.

The Greek derby between Olympiacos Piraeus and Panathinaikos Athens ended only after extra time with the victory of Georgios Bartzokas' team; Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul also overcame Olimpia Milan after overtime.

Even though the season has already entered its prime, it does not mean that teams are not looking to add possible reinforcements from the market.

Several teams are still looking for 1-2 pieces that can make them even more competitive or help them make up for absences due to injuries.

While, in some circumstances, the focus on the market could be mostly directed to the players that will be cut at the end of the NBA training camps, that doesn't mean that on the EuroLeague market, there are no players left who could provide a boost for some of these clubs.

For this reason, BasketNews decided to analyze some of the most interesting players left on the free agent market with proven EuroLeague experience. Let's dive in.

Valencia signed Evans in January after paying a buyout to release him from his contract with Real Betis. During his time in Sevilla, Evans was an absolute force and was named top scorer of the 2022-2023 season ACB.

However, his time in Valencia was definitely less exciting. The connection with coach Mumbru wasn't there, and at the end of the season, the Spanish side decided not to use the option to extend the contract for a further year.

The Arizona State alumni, who also has a Guinean passport, remains available on the market, and his name might become really interesting for those in need of a point guard.

Evans has unique scoring instincts and can easily attack with the ball in his hands. But the former Betis player is not only someone who can create for himself; he has always been a solid assist man, too, averaging almost 6 assists per game during his time in Sevilla.

According to BasketNews sources, Evans recently held exploratory talks with
