Vezenkov finished with a PIR of 40 after securing his seventh double-double of the campaign, having paired 28 points with 13 rebounds. He also had 1 assist, 1 steal and 4 fouls drawn. The Olympiacos forward&#8217;s shooting numbers were particularly impressive, as he went 6-for-7 on two-pointers, 4-of-6 from distance and 4-of-5 from the free-throw line. Vezenkov is just the fifth player to ever secure five MVP of the Round accolades in one season.<\/p>\n<p>The second-best performance in Round 24 belongs to Wade Baldwin of Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv, as he had a 39 PIR in his team&#8217;s 86-89 loss to Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade. Baldwin set a series of personal bests in that game, scoring 38 points, making 6 three-pointers and hitting 10 free throws. The guard recorded 5 rebounds, 5 rebounds and 12 fouls drawn, too. Next best PIR belongs to Chris Jones of Valencia Basket, having achieved a PIR of 33 after scoring 24 points, including a buzzer-beating game-winning three-pointer in a 91-92 win over Panathinaikos Athens. Jones also had 5 assists, 4 rebounds and 1 steal. Following him is Panathinaikos center Arturas Gudaitis, who shined in that same game with 23 points, 10 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block and 8 drawn fouls for a 32 PIR. Rounding out the list of Round 24&#8217;s best performers are Paris Lee of Panathinaikos and Edgaras Ulanovas of Zalgiris Kaunas, each of whom had a PIR of 26. Lee had 25 points and 7 assists, while Ulanovas posted 16 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds in a 79-75 win over Cazoo Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sasha Vezenkov | Round 24 MVP | 2022-23 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2HVJZ6i3pB8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vezenkov is just the fifth player to ever secure five MVP of the Round accolades in one season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":148,"featured_media":317129,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[15725,19],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-317128","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-euroleague","typology-comunicato","typology-video"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/02\/88a6a31e-190e-45aa-8bf4-2296580e2541.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317128","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/148"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=317128"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317128\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/317129"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=317128"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=317128"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=317128"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=317128"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=317128"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=317128"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
