EUROLEAGUE ALL-DECADE CANDIDATE: Arvydas Macijauskas

One of the most prolific scorers anywhere when healthy, Arvydas Macijauskas showcased his skills at the most elite level for two Euroleague teams during the decade. Macijauskas burst onto the scene with Tau Ceramica in 2003-04 and did nothing less than lead the Euroleague in scoring at the end of his very first season. The following year, his star shone even brighter as Tau reached its first Final Four and knocked off previously undefeated CSKA in Moscow to reach the Euroleague title game. After a year out of the Euroleague and another lost to injury, Macijauskas was himself again for Olympiacos in 2007-08, lighting opponents up and ranking second in the league in scoring before injuries struck again. A deadeye shooter from any range, there's no telling how deep a mark he could have left on the decade if not for injuries that forced him to miss nearly three full seasons.
