The 50 most interesting players in European hoops: Nos. 20-11
12. Andrew Goudelock, PG, EA7 Milano
Once upon a time, Andrew Goudelock, a former Lakers guard, was the star of a Final Four team. He helped Fenerbahce make the Final Four in 2015, attacking the rim and almost single-handedly knocking off Maccabi in the playoffs. Since then, though, he has fallen off. Stints with the Rockets and Chinese League squad Xinjiang didn’t go particularly well, and he was a disaster for Maccabi last season, an empty stats king on a terrible team.
Now comes a chance at reclamation. He joins Jordan Theodore on a rebranded Milano team, and the hope is that Goudelock can swing back to the type of player he was for Fenerbahce once upon a time, a more judicious scorer that can handle without turnovers and stay engaged on defense. That version of Goudelock is one of Euroleague’s most entertaining guards. If he’s around this year, that could completely change what Milano’s ceiling is.
