EuroCup

Euroleague Basketball is proud to announce the members of the All-Eurocup first and second teams for the 2009-10 season. Big men Marko Banic of Bizkaia Bilbao Basket and Matt Nielsen of Power Electronics Valencia headline the list of All-Eurocup First Team selections as the only honorees to repeat from last season. Banic becomes the first player to repeat as an All-Eurocup First Teamer, while Nielsen was a second-team choice in 2008-09. Banic and Nielsen are joined on the All-Eurocup First Team by point guard Nando De Colo of Power Electronics and shooting guards/small forwards Devin Smith of Panellinios BC and Immanuel McElroy of Alba Berlin. The All-Eurocup second team features Arthur Lee of CEZ Nymburk at point guard, Kostas Charalampidis of Panellinios and Dijon Thompson of Hapoel Jerusalem at shooting guards/small forwards, and James Augustine of Gran Canaria 2014 and Blagota Sekulic of Alba at the power forward/center positions. The competition reaches its culmination with the Eurocup Finals set for April 17 to 18 in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain, where a new champion will be crowned. Bilbao and Valencia are joined by Alba Berlin and Panellinios as the four teams still alive in the race for the cup. The All-Eurocup first and second teams are named by in-house experts at Euroleague Basketball. The teams are part of an expanded awards structure started last season aimed at enhancing the recognition of the finest Eurocup players for their efforts on the basketball court throughout the season. The first and second teams are divided by position, each with one point guard, two shooting guards/small forwards and two power forwards/centers. Not surprisingly, the All-Eurocup first and second teams are dominated by players who will be at the Eurocup Finals - seven of the 10 honored players will be in Vitoria-Gasteiz trying to lead their teams to the Eurocup title.
