Top 10 NBA players at 2025 EuroBasket: Where Jokic and Doncic stack up abroad
Briefly

EuroBasket 2025 runs Aug. 27 through Sept. 14 and includes 24 national teams, featuring France and Serbia among other European powers. Several rosters will include multiple NBA players from Serbia, Germany, France, Greece and Slovenia. Projected 2025–26 NBA performance was evaluated using Estimated RAPTOR combined with a Simple Projection System that adjusts for age and past production to forecast offensive and defensive RAPTOR. Projections represent full-season NBA performance and may differ from current tournament form due to the aging curve; older veterans could be fresher in August while younger players may still be improving. Final team rosters remain in flux.
The tournament, which runs Aug. 27 through Sept. 14, will feature the French and Serbian squads that Team USA beat in the knockout rounds of the 2024 Olympics, plus 22 other teams from across the continent. While not every European NBA star will play, the overlap between the league and this event has never been more significant. Heavyweights like Serbia, Germany, France, Greece and Slovenia will have multiple NBA names on their roster. And with international stars shaping so much of today's NBA landscape, how these players perform in the league offers one of the best guides to their potential impact at this tournament -- and vice versa.
We looked at each player's projected performance for the 2025-26 NBA season using Estimated RAPTOR to combine individual statistics with a player's team impact for an overall measure of player value. We then factored in a version of Basketball-Reference's Simple Projection System, which accounts for age and past production to forecast both offensive and defensive RAPTOR for any player with NBA minutes over the past three seasons.
