One of the biggest questions of the upcoming summer market is: Where will TJ Shorts sign? After an amazing EuroLeague rookie campaign, the American point guard has become the hottest name on the market. Which could be the most likely landing spots for the player?
In his debut season in the EuroLeague, TJ Shorts was one of the best players in the competition.
The American point guard led Paris Basketball to the playoffs and was selected for the All-EuroLeague First Team and named MVP of the play-in tournament, in which Paris won away at Real Madrid to earn their place in the playoffs.

He is generating significant interest from top EuroLeague teams, not to mention the possibility of being picked up by an NBA franchise.
