The American defender of UNICS, Isaiah Canaan, believes that some clubs in the Euroleague have reached the level at which the NBA league is and that they would be competitors in the strongest league in the world.
He believes that some Euroleague teams could choose a place in the playoffs of the most prestigious basketball championship in the world.
– I think that several teams can enter the playoffs. Why not? It is difficult to compare these two competitions, but the Euroleague is also strong. But we could prove this only if we competed there – said Canaan.
Canaan came to Europe from the NBA League, where he spent seven seasons and averaged 8.1 points with 1.9 rebounds and assists in 238 games.
He tried out for six teams, and played for the Houston Rockets, Philadelphia 76ers, Chicago Bulls, Phoenix Suns, Minnesota Timberwolves and Milwaukee Bucks.
The American joined UNICS last season.
