Euroleague Round 10 co-MVPs: Theo Maledon and TJ Shorts

It's the second MVP award this season for both players.

 

A pair of French teams registered impressive victories in Round 10, each led by their respective point guards, Theo Maledon and TJ Shorts, who have shared MVP of the Round honors thanks to their respective 36 PIR.

 

Maledon’s impressive sophomore season in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague continued with the LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne guard’s dominant display in a 77-74 win against Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade. Maledon finished with 26 points, the second-highest total of his career, after going 4 for 4 on two-pointers, 3 for 5 on three-pointers and 9 for 10 from the free-throw line, while he also had 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and drew 10 fouls. This is the second time that Maledon has been the MVP of the Round after achieving this feat in Round 4 of this current season, when he also had a 36 PIR.

 

This time, Maledon shares this honor with Shorts, who led Paris Basketball to a resounding 87-103 road win at FC Barcelona. Shorts had 24 points, making 6-of-10 two-point shots, knocking down his only three-point attempt and sinking 9-of-11 free throws. Shorts also dished 9 assists, had 3 steals, pulled down 1 rebound and drew 11 fouls. This is also a second MVP award for Shorts, who previously earned this honor in Round 5.
