Much has happened since the last time we updated the Transatlantic Tracker. Dario Saric has kept up his strong play for Anadolu Efes in the Turkish Basketball League and Euroleague, Jordan McRae has continued to show why he’s perhaps the best scorer in Australia, Arsalan Kazemi has racked up gaudy numbers in China, and Vasilije Micic has returned to action after missing two months with an elbow injury.

Let’s get right to it!

While Dario Saric’s raw stats might not jump off the page, he’s been one of the key contributors for a veteran Anadolu Efes team that has gone 13-4 in the TBL and 4-2 in the Euroleague this season. At 20 years old, his playmaking ability, strength, poise, and basketball IQ are off the charts, and since being named the FIBA European Young Player of the Year for the second straight year on January 21, he’s averaged 6.0 points (44.4 FG%, 50.0 3P%), 5.3 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 20.5 minutes per game.

In 29 games for Efes this year, the 6’10” combo forward is averaging 15.3 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per 36 minutes.

Jordan McRae is one of just two players in the Australian National Basketball League averaging more than 20 points per game this season. In 22 games with Melbourne United, the Savanna, Georgia native and 2014 second-round pick has averaged 20.3 points a night on 45.9% shooting to go along with 4.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists per contest.

He’s topped 20 points in 13 of his 22 games for Melbourne this season and has dropped exactly 27 in two of his last three games. United’s regular season ends on February 22, at which time the NBL Playoffs begin.

Despite scoring a season-low two points on just one field goal attempt to go along with six rebounds and three assists in a loss to Shanghai Dongfang on February 1, Arsalan Kazemi is still putting up some impressive per-game stats in the Chinese Basketball Association. In 27 games with Chongqing Fly Dragon, he’s averaged 14.2 points on 65.7% shooting to go along with 13.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 2.9 steals in 37.2 minutes per contest.

Serbian point guard Vasilije Micic, selected 52nd-overall in the 2014 Draft, has appeared in just 18 games for FC Bayern Munich this season, missing two full months between November 28 and January 28 due to an elbow injury. The 21-year-old has seen his minutes fluctuate throughout the season, and in his first three games back the story has been the same.

In his return to action two weeks ago, he logged just five minutes, and in a win over JDA Dijon Basket on Tuesday, he saw just seven minutes of floor time. But on January 31, he played 16 minutes against Phoenix Hagen, scoring 11 points on 2-of-3 shooting (2/3 3P, 5/6 FT) to go along with eight assists and three rebounds.

In the four games in which Micic has logged more than 20 minutes this season, he’s averaging 9.0 points (46.2 FG%), 5.0 assists, and 3.8 rebounds in 23.0 minutes per game.
