Euroleague Round 18 MVP: Jaylen Hoard

EuroLeague rookie earns his first MVP of the Round award.

A stunning performance by Jaylen Hoard of Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv in a 95-78 win over Zalgiris Kaunas has seen him earn Round 18 MVP honors with a career-high PIR of 34.

Hoard’s 34 PIR, which was the highest in this round, came after he scored 23 points on 6-of-10 two-pointers, 1-of-1 three-pointers and 8-of-8 free throws, as well as 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 5 drawn fouls. He did not commit a single turnover, either. This is the first time that Hoard has been MVP of the Round in his 18th game in the competition, with this being his first season in the EuroLeague.
