This season, star guard Marcus Howard of Vitoria Gasteiz Baskonia has shown his remarkable versatility as a scorer. Howard became a dangerous jump shooter in his Euroleague debut last year, and now he has a much more versatile offensive game that makes him a threat off both the pick-and-roll and off the dribble.

In a recent win over LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne, Howard scored a career-high 21 points on a catch-and-shoot jumper and is one of the highest single-game scorers in Euroleague history in recent years. This shift in Howard's shooting ability highlights his ability to adapt and contribute to his team's success in a variety of ways.

As a shooter, Howard's versatility sets him apart from many of Euroleague's other outside threats. While players such as Mike James and Scottie Wilbekin rely heavily on their dribbling skills to create scoring opportunities, and forwards such as Alec Peters and Nikola Mirotic focus on spacing the floor and shooting three-pointers off the catch, Howard is able to score efficiently off the catch. Dribbling allows him to constantly challenge opposing defenses.

Howard's ability to score in a variety of ways has been crucial to Baskonia's recent success. His shooting ability has helped the team win four straight games after a rough start to the season with 1 win and 3 losses.

While Howard's shooting ability may develop further throughout the season, his current versatility as a scorer makes him a valuable asset for Baskonia and a formidable threat in the European Union.
