The Euroleague’s Top Scorer. 22.1 Points Per Game. 1,000 Career Points at 23. And His Team Is 16th. This Is the Nadir Hifi Show.

Nadir Hifi doesn’t care about the standings. He doesn’t care that Paris Basketball are 16th in the Euroleague and fighting for play-in survival. He doesn’t care that Olympiacos are 3rd and fighting for home-court advantage. He just scores. And scores. And scores.

22.1 points per game. The highest average in the entire Euroleague. A 29-point explosion against Baskonia. A 21-point masterclass against Real Madrid. 1,000 career Euroleague points – reached in just 15 months. At 23 years old. Playing for a club that DIDN’T EXIST six years ago.

On Tuesday night, in front of his home fans at the adidas arena, Hifi faces the biggest test left on his calendar: Olympiacos. Third in the table. 90 points per game. Winners of the Greek derby last round. The kind of team that has been winning European basketball for decades.

Paris (16th, 12-18) have won 3 straight home Euroleague matches – form that keeps their slim play-in hopes alive.

Olympiacos (3rd, 19-10) need the win to maintain their position. Vezenkov is still injured. But Nunn, Dorsey, and Fall provide enough depth to cover.

Tip-off: 19:45 CET, adidas arena, Paris.

Why Hifi Is the Real Deal

Let’s talk numbers. 22.1 ppg leads the ENTIRE Euroleague. Not just rookies. Not just French players. Everyone. He uses 39.8% of Paris’s possessions – and when he’s on the court, Paris’s net efficiency is +7.1. When he’s OFF? It drops to -5.9. That’s a 13-point swing per 100 possessions. One player.

His shooting profile is ridiculous for a 23-year-old: 75% near the rim, 30% from three on high volume, lethal from the free-throw line. He scores from everywhere. Against everyone. In every situation.

NBA scouts are at every game now. The 2023 draft undrafted kid is now the most watched player outside of North America. And tonight – against Olympiacos’s defence – is another audition tape.

Olympiacos Mean Business

This isn’t a friendly visit. Olympiacos are 3rd and need wins to stay ahead of Fenerbahçe and Real Madrid in the race for top-4 and direct playoff qualification. Bartzokas’s squad has been RELENTLESS: 8 wins in 10 matches. 90 points per game average. The derby win over Panathinaikos 86-80 without Vezenkov showed they can grind when needed.

Nunn runs the perimeter game. Dorsey provides instant offence from the bench. Fall protects the rim. And the whole team plays with the intensity that comes from representing the biggest basketball club in Greece.

Their AWAY scoring is insane: 90+ points in 5 straight road games. They don’t slow down for anyone – which means this match could hit 180 total points if both teams push tempo.
