Anadolu Efes 2008 roster, stats and best five

7 draftable players from Anadolu Efes's 2008 season — full stat lines, a suggested best five, and how this board plays in Road to Glory.

When the draw lands on Anadolu Efes in 2008, this is the board: 7 draftable basketball players, led by Bootsy Thornton at PIR 15.5. You draft exactly one of them for the slot you spun, and they must be placed at a position they actually played — 3 of the 7 can play the point and 4 can play the big spots.

4 of these players count as underdogs (peak PIR under 10), so this club-season is also drawable in Make the Playoffs.

The best five to draft from this roster

Filling the point, two wings and two big spots by PIR while respecting placement rules gives this five. Together they are strongest in perimeter defence and thinnest in playmaking — if you are only drafting one player from this board, the biggest lift usually comes from whoever covers the category your existing four are missing.

  • Charles Smith — PG/SG/PF · 12.0 PPG, 3.2 RPG, 1.6 APG · PIR 12.1
  • Bootsy Thornton — SG · 12.8 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 3.1 APG · PIR 15.5
  • Kerem Gonlum — PF/C · 9.5 PPG, 6.5 RPG, 0.7 APG · PIR 13.7
  • Michailis Kakiouzis — C · 6.4 PPG, 3.0 RPG, 0.7 APG · PIR 7.0
  • Kaya Peker — C · 5.5 PPG, 3.1 RPG, 0.6 APG · PIR 5.5

How this board plays

In Classic every stat line above is visible during the draft. In Hidden mode you get only the names and positions, so knowing that Bootsy Thornton led this team is the edge. With only 4 underdogs, it is a thin board for Make the Playoffs — consider a re-spin there.
