BasketNews surveyed fifteen players who did not make it to the Final Four, where they shared their predictions on who will win the EuroLeague this season.

Almost half of the respondents predict Barcelona will claim the title this season. Zach LeDay, Chris Jones, Iffe Lundberg, Rokas Giedraitis, Arturas Gudaitis, and Ismet Akpinar all foresee victory for the Catalans.

Barcelona is expected to be the clear favorite in the semifinals against Real Madrid.

Only three players see Real as the winner against Barcelona. Interestingly, all three players who chose Real Madrid over Barcelona later envision Madrid winning the EuroLeague championship.

Kyle Hines, Alex Poythress, and Jaleen Smith believe in Real's success in the Final Four.

The other semifinal promises to be more intriguing. However, a slightly larger number of respondents name Olympiacos as their favorites.

Three players, Luigi Datome, Keenan Evans, and Dee Bost, envision a Greek victory in the EuroLeague Final Four.

The fewest respondents predict the championship title for Monaco's team. Will Clyburn and John Holland only predict this scenario for the Final Four.

Two EA7 Emporio Armani Milan team participants took part in the survey because Kyle Hines was the only one of the BasketNews Bracket Challenge who correctly guessed the exact list of teams in the Final Four.
