MVP OF THE WEEK
Pops Mensah-Bonsu (Besiktas Milangaz)
Showtime for Bonsu last week! He played amazing. He scored 25 points and grabbed 10 points. He deserved to be MVP of the week.

TEAM OF THE WEEK
Anadolu Efes
Anadolu Efes doing very good defense. That’s hard for Karsiyaka to score 59 points in homecourt. Great job by Zouros and his team.

TOP 5 PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Kerem Tunceri (Anadolu Efes)
Bojan Bogdanovic (Fenerbahce Ulker)
Ricardo Marsh (Hacettepe Universty)
Wesley Wilkinson (Olin Edirne)
Nedim Yucel (Turk Telekom)

COACH OF THE WEEK
Illias Zouros (Anadolu Efes)
Definitely, Illias Zouros changed the Anadolu Efes. Now, Anadolu Efes doing good defense. When the Ufuk Sarica in the team, I don’t see Anadolu Efes as contender. But know, Anadolu Efes is “real” contender. Congrats Zouros!

SIXTH MAN OF THE WEEK
Preston Shumpert (Galatasaray MP)
Shumpert came from the bench and he scored 22 points, in 22 minutes. Also he grabbed 4 rebounds and made 4 assists.
