Euroleague Top 16, Round 14: Sportando Team of the Week

MVP - Justin Dentmon (Zalgiris Kaunas)
In the huge home win against Real Madrid (87-80), Dentmon has an unbelievable shooting night: he's able to find the basket in many ways, but especially he's unguardable from beyond the arc, shooting 7/11 and setting a new Euroleague record with 74 threes made in a season. He has 23 points in the second half, while in the game he has 36 PTS on an 11/16 shooting, 5 RBS, 7 FD and 40 EV.

Kostas Sloukas (Olympiacos)
Sloukas has a pivotal role in the home win against Panathinaikos (68-65), playing terrific defense and scoring 9 of his 12 points in the last 4.30 of the game, all from beyond the arc, including the shot which ties the game with less than a minute on the clock. He has 12 PTS shooting 4/6 from three point range, 5 AST and 16 EV.

Sonny Weems (CSKA Moscow)
CSKA Moscow clinches the first place in Group F thanks to a road win in Tel Aviv (81-76). Once again Weems steps up in the fourth quarter, scoring 6 of his 14 points including the three which gives to his team the pivotal 6-point lead. He has 14 PTS, 5 RBS, 5 FD, 21 EV and an impressive +20 plus/minus.

Andres Nocioni (Laboral Kutxa)
In the road win in Barcelona (97-86) Nocioni plays an unbelievable second half, in which he scores 32 of his team's 62 points. He's relentless in attacking the rim and fighting in the paint, and he also connects on 4 of his 6 three point attempts. He has 19 points in the terrific third quarter run (31-10), finishing with 37 PTS, 3 BLK, 6 FD and 35 EV.

Furkan Aldemir (Galatasaray)
If Galatasaray is able to build a 12-point halftime lead to win the game against Partizan (64-55) and get to the Playoffs, that's mainly because of Aldemir's performance: one of the best rebounders in Europe, the Turkish big man has 9 points and 6 rebounds in the first half, playing also really good defense in the paint. In the game he has 13 PTS on a 6/6 shooting, 7 RBS, 2 BLK and 23 EV.
