EUROLEAGUE ALL-DECADE CANDIDATE: Tyus Edney

One of the Euroleague's dominant playmakers in the first half of the decade, Tyus Edney brought his experience as a former Euroleague champion to bear on three different teams: Benetton Treviso, Olympiacos and Fortitudo Bologna. Often the smallest man on the floor, he was also the quickest. Edney used that quickness to his advantage in creating shots for others or getting to the basket to score by himself. His past success also made him a player others looked to for leadership. He delivered, too, helping Benetton reach back-to-back Final Fours in 2002 and 2003.
