A wonderful performance for an undermanned EA7 Emporio Armani Milan has seen Zach LeDay secure Round 24 MVP honors with a season-high PIR of 39.<\/p>\n
LeDay tied his career high with 33 points \u2013 a total he had only managed once before, back in Round 15 of this current season \u2013 after making 7-of-10 two-pointers, 5-of-7 three-pointers and 4-of-4 free throws. He also grabbed 8 rebounds, dished 1 assist, drew 6 fouls and had a +18 in the plus\/minus column, the second best of any player in this round. This is the third time this season that LeDay has secured the MVP of the Round prize, having done so in Round 7 and Round 15. It is his fourth MVP of the Round award overall, as he first took home this honor in Round 10 of the 2018-19 season.<\/p>\n
The Milan forward was not the only player to post a 39 PIR in this round as Virtus Segafredo Bologna\u2019s Toko Shengelia did so as well, yet it came in defeat as his team fell to a 95-81 loss at Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul. That 39 PIR is a career high for Shengelia, who also posted a career-best mark with 35 points on 10-of-14 two-pointers, 2-of-3 three-pointers and 9-of-10 free throws. Shengelia added 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 6 fouls drawn to his tally.<\/p>\n
The third-best PIR in Round 24 belonged to Zalgiris Kaunas\u2019s Sylvain Francisco, who had a career-high 36 PIR in his team\u2019s 82-97 defeat against FC Bayern Munich. Francisco posted a personal-best 33 points on 5-of-8 two-pointers, 5-of-8 three-pointers and 8-of-8 free throws, 1 rebound, 5 assists and 7 fouls drawn.<\/p>\n
Rounding out the list of Round 24\u2019s top performers are Olympiacos Piraeus\u2019s Sasha Vezenkov, Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz\u2019s Chima Moneke and Bayern\u2019s Nick Weiler-Babb, all with a PIR of 34. Vezenkov amassed 26 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block and 7 fouls drawn in Olympiacos\u2019s 92-89 win over Anadolu Efes Istanbul, Moneke recorded 22 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 8 fouls drawn in Baskonia\u2019s 88-86 triumph over FC Barcelona, while Weiler-Babb had a near-perfect performance in Bayern\u2019s win at Zalgiris with 14 points, 7 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 steals, 3 fouls drawn and zero turnovers.<\/p>\n
Individual highs<\/strong>: Toko Shengelia, Virtus, 35 points Juancho Hernangomez of Panathinaikos pulled down a career-best 13 rebounds in Round 24, more than anyone else. Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade\u2019s Joel Bolomboy averages a league-best 8.0 boards per night.<\/p>\n Nick Weiler-Babb set a new career best with a round-high 13 assists. Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv\u2019s Tamir Blatt leads the league in assists with 7.5 per game.<\/p>\n Brandon Davies of Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade made 6 steals in Round 24, which is the joint most of any player this season. Weiler-Babb is atop the steals charts with 1.6 per night.<\/p>\n Donta Hall of Baskonia tied his career high by blocking 4 shots this week, the most of any player in Round 24. Real Madrid\u2019s Walter Tavares, the EuroLeague\u2019s all-time leader in blocks, is the season leader in this category with 1.4 per game.<\/p>\n Weiler-Babb (14 points, 13 assists), ALBA Berlin\u2019s Martin Hermannsson (11 points, 11 assists) and AS Monaco\u2019s Nick Calathes (12 points, 10 assists) were the only players to record a double-double in Round 24, and all three did so without committing a turnover.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A wonderful performance for an undermanned EA7 Emporio Armani Milan has seen Zach LeDay secure Round 24 MVP honors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":174,"featured_media":426357,"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":[199],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-426358","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-euroleague"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/02\/d8c3aab5-bb96-402b-9c3e-54fbe7dd721c.webp","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/426358","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\/174"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=426358"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/426358\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/426357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=426358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=426358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=426358"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=426358"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=426358"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=426358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
