Team 2010-11: Efes Pilsen (Turkey-TBL) Career: Muratpasa Belediyesi (Turkey-TBL, 2001-02), Efes Pilsen (Turkey-TBL, 2002-06), Union Olimpija (Slovenia-1A League, 2006), Tau Ceramica (Spain-ACB, 2007), Panionios (Greece-ESAKE, 2007), Efes Pilsen (Turkey-TBL, 2007-11)
Ender Arslan is an experienced guard who is equally at home either handling the ball and creating for others or making use of his potentially dangerous three-point shooting. Extremely quick at both ends of the court and as competitive a player as you will ever see, he often has the ability to get an edge on his opponents because of this although occasionally it overwhelms him and can lead to his game breaking apart. Still, he has improved in recent years and with that maturity his decision making is better than ever which is a big bonus for the National Team. Last summer he played an excellent cameo role with his perimeter game definitely one of the features during Turkey's run to the FIBA World Championship Final. Not only did he shoot the ball well but he delivered some really nice performances including 12 points in 20 minutes against Serbia in the Semi-Final. His record at tournaments in recent years is very consistent and he is a good bet for another near 10 points per game at Eurobasket 2011.
