Unicaja Malaga 2015 roster, stats and best five

9 draftable players from Unicaja Malaga's 2015 season — full stat lines, a suggested best five, and how this board plays in Road to Glory.

When the draw lands on Unicaja Malaga in 2015, this is the board: 9 draftable basketball players, led by Mindaugas Kuzminskas at PIR 14.2. 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 9 can play the point and 1 can play the big spots.

6 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 playmaking and thinnest in rim defence — 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.

  • Stefan Markovic — PG/SG · 3.6 PPG, 2.1 RPG, 4.9 APG · PIR 7.0
  • Mindaugas Kuzminskas — SF · 13.0 PPG, 3.8 RPG, 1.2 APG · PIR 14.2
  • Will Thomas — PF · 9.4 PPG, 4.8 RPG, 1.2 APG · PIR 11.1
  • Edwin Jackson — SG · 10.5 PPG, 1.3 RPG, 2.2 APG · PIR 10.5
  • Carlos Suarez — SF · 3.7 PPG, 3.8 RPG, 1.9 APG · PIR 7.0

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 Mindaugas Kuzminskas led this team is the edge. With 6 underdogs, it is also a workable board for Make the Playoffs.
