Although things didn’t quite work out for Greer with the Milwaukee Bucks, it’s hard not to think that he might still have some untapped NBA potential based on just how terrific a player he is in Europe. Greer is one of the best pure shooter/scorers you’ll find in the Euroleague, being absolutely automatic with his feet set, and very much a threat to create his own shot and get to the free throw line as well. His role has diminished somewhat since Jannero Pargo arrived in Athens a few months ago, but he’s still the type of player who can change the course of a game even in limited minutes off the bench.

Lynn Greer- The 6-1 former Temple (1997-2002) point guard had an outstanding season in the Euroleague this year with Idea Slask in Poland, averaging 25 points (best in the Euroleague) and 5.5 assists (second best in the Euroleague) in 14 games on excellent shooting percentages. He came in 2nd place for the Euroleague MVP award after Arvydas Sabonis and was voted to the all Euroleague 1st team for his performances. Greer was cut last summer by the Milwaukee Bucks during summer league but he was easily the most surprising player in Europe this season and was quickly signed by Dynamo Moscow from Russia for 800,000 dollars next year, considered to be very good money for a player his age. He would have easily made our list otherwise, but is not a free agent. Scouts will be watching him closely next season and another impressive year should be enough to pave him a path back into the league.
