RIGA (Latvia) - The FIBA EuroBasket 2025 All-Star Second Team sees five players gaining deserved recognition for their performances and contributions at the event.
Adding to the All-Star Five, here are five more European stars who caught the eye across the competition, producing big performances for their respective teams.
Jordan Loyd - Poland
Loyd put on a shooting clinic as Poland enjoyed reaching the Quarter-Finals for the second time in a row. The guard was a driving force in the Polish offense with 19 made three-pointers across seven games for 22.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. Loyd also placed among the top six in scoring at his debut EuroBasket tournament.
Cedi Osman - Türkiye
Osman did not top the charts in any of the stats columns, but did a little bit of everything as Türkiye returned to the podium. A reliable all-around option with a hot hand, Osman shot 52.7 percent from beyond the arc on his way to 16.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists on average. A true helping hand for Alperen Sengun.
Deni Avdija - Israel
Israel established themselves as the dark horse at the event and Avdija was the driving force for that team. With 24.0 points per game, he entered the tournament's Top 5 in scoring, also grabbing 6.8 rebounds and dishing out 2.7 dimes on average. His best performance came in the Group Phase when he went head-to-head with Luka Doncic, coming up with 34 points and 9 rebounds in an encounter to remember.
Lauri Markkanen - Finland
Even though Finland missed out on the historic podium, Markkanens campaign is one to remember. The Finnisher tallied 23.1 points per game, adding 8.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.1 steal on average in Finland's fairytale campaign. His 43-point eruption against Great Britain remains one of the highlights of the tournament.
Nikola Jokic - Serbia
Even though Serbia suffered a bitter disappointment and were eliminated in the Round of 16, it wasn't because of Jokic's lack of effort. The Joker put the team on his back and even stepped further up when Bogdan Bogdanovic suffered an injury. In the end, Jokic has 22.3 points, 9.0 rebounds nad 4.2 assists on average to show for it in the favorites' early exit.
