Top 5 Euroleague players at steals per game
This category is very important because stealing the ball become a boost for the offense, because there is no efficient attack without a good defense who prevent other teams to score. Here you have your top 5 (actually will be 6 players) at this category:
5. Mike James (Olimpia Milano) and Adrien Moerman (Anadolu Efes) share this spot with 1.41 steals per game, the only difference is that the French guy is playing less minute than the American.
4. Facundo Campazzo, the little Argentinian of Real Madrid is amazing on both sides of the court. He averages 1.55 steals.
3. Nick Calathes, despite having a low percentage on free-throws and 3 pointers, the Greek guard of Panathinaikos can steal the ball very easily. He is a bit better than Campazzo, having 1.59 per game.
2. Surprisingly on our top, we have Jan Vesely, a center, not a small and quick guard. The big man of Fenerbahce is averaging 1.74 steals.
1. The best on this category is ex-NBA Toney Douglas who averages almost 2 steals per game (1.92) for Darussafaka.
