EuroLeague Highlights Top 10 Players Including Hapoel and Maccabi Tel Aviv Stars

The new EuroLeague season is set to begin in a month, featuring many players making their first transition from the NBA to European basketball. The official EuroLeague website recently highlighted the 10 players with the highest potential to succeed in the upcoming season, noting that while each carries some risk, they also offer significant upside.

Among those listed are key players from Israeli teams Hapoel Tel Aviv and Maccabi Tel Aviv. Amir Coffey, a recent acquisition for Hapoel Tel Aviv, was ranked second. The site praised Coffey as a reliable two-way player with high basketball IQ and the ability to impact games without dominating the offense, making him an ideal complement to Hapoel's existing guards.

Keaton Wallace, signed by Maccabi Tel Aviv, was placed fourth. The article emphasized that forwards often adapt faster to European playstyles than guards, and Wallace's versatile defensive skills and previous triple-double performance in Atlanta highlight his potential to thrive in Maccabi, even on nights when his shooting is off.

Jacob Toppin, another Hapoel Tel Aviv signing, ranked tenth. With a three-year contract, Toppin is seen as having strong long-term growth potential, though his offensive impact in the 2026-27 season may initially depend on his chemistry with the team's guards.

The top spot went to 32-year-old forward T.J. Warren, known for his NBA achievements and recently signed by Paris. The full list also includes players from Villeurbanne, Baskonia, Barcelona, Virtus Bologna, and Crvena Zvezda, reflecting a diverse group of talent expected to shape the EuroLeague season.
