The other four players selected for the best young starting five were Jaime Pradilla (Valencia Basket), Joel Parra (Joventut Badalona), Ziga Samar (Fuenlabrada), and Khalifa Diop (Gran Canaria).

The votes for these young players were given by other players, coaches, and members of the media association.
