All-EuroLeague snubs team: who were left out?

2022-05-18

With the EuroLeague season coming to an end, the two All-EuroLeague teams were announced last week, creating some buzz as usual.

While for the players involved in the selection, it's always a good recognition for what they did during the season, most of the talks are often dedicated to the ones left out of the two teams. 

With Mike James, Shane Larkin, Sasha Vezenkov, Nikola Mirotic, and Walter Tavares forming the All-EuroLeague first team, the All-EuroLeague second team was composed of Vasilije Micic, Kostas Sloukas, Shavon Shields, Vladimir Lucic, and Georgios Papagiannis. 

So now it's time to switch the conversation to the names of other players who might have been involved in the selection but, for various reasons, were left out. 

Who are the biggest All-EuroLeague teams snubs? Let’s try to find out some candidates.

Scottie Wilbekin was hands down one of the main factors for that great final part of the season. Once again, the American point guard took most of the team's offensive load on his shoulders and delivered in the most important moments.
