Triche only committed 1 turnover and drew 8 fouls too. The second-highest index rating of the competition’s Round 1 came from Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar’s Derrick Brown, who packed up a 33 in his team’s 78-97 win at Stelmet Zielona Gora. Brown tallied 23 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. Juan Palacios of Pinar Karsiyaka Izmir posted 29 points and 10 rebounds for a 30 index in an 81-87 double overtime loss to PAOK Thessaloniki.

Rounding out Round 1’s top performances were Blake Schilb of Paris Levallois, Walter Hodge of Zenit St. Peterberg and David Vojvoda and Lazeric Jones, both of Szolnoki Olaj, each of whom compiled index ratings of 26.
