Errick delivered a strong performance, scoring 13 points to help Fenerbahce reach the finals for the first time in seven years, following their 82-76 victory over Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens.
Another standout for Fenerbahce was Tarik Biberovic, who contributed 15 points and 3 rebounds to secure the win.
There has been widespread speculation about Biberovic’s potential move to the NBA, with rumors gaining momentum.
C.J. McCollum discussed Biberovic’s NBA prospects on the EuroLeague Post Game show, expressing confidence that the Fenerbahce forward has the talent to succeed, while emphasizing that comfort and timing will play crucial roles.
"I think there’s a lot that goes into coming to the States. Physically, he’s ready. His game is ready. But comfort matters, right?" McCollum said, speaking about Biberovic’s NBA prospects.
"You’ve got to be comfortable. For Biberovic to come over here, he’d be leaving his family. So, there’s a lot that goes into that," he added.
"From a skill set standpoint, there’s a reason he was drafted and why NBA teams want him. It’s just a matter of when he feels ready, but I’m sure he’ll play in the NBA," McCollum concluded.
