Zavier Simpson, U-BT Cluj-Napoca<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
\n
\n

The playmaking mastery, crafty scoring and defensive tenacity of\u00a0Zavier Simpson<\/a>\u00a0made him a delight to watch in his first BKT EuroCup season. As Cluj’s floor general, Simpson consistently demonstrated an exceptional ability to control the tempo of the game, finding teammates in perfect scoring positions while also scoring efficiently himself. He led the EuroCup in assists (8.0 apg.), ranked second in scoring (17.8 ppg.) and third in PIR (20.9). Simpson\u2019s knack for reading defenses and executing precise passes were crucial to Cluj’s winning season, which saw it reach the quarterfinals, but only after he whipped up a 26-point, 14-assist gem in the eighthfinals against Wolves. That game was one of Simpson’s seven double-doubles and just another reason he earned the well-deserved recognition as one of the EuroCup\u2019s premier guards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

Semi Ojeleye, Valencia Basket<\/h3>\n

An ever-present for Valencia this season,\u00a0Semi Ojeleye<\/a>\u00a0has earned All-EuroCup Second Team honors in his rookie season in the competition. Ojeleye was a key contributor as the Spanish side swept aside teams at will en route to the EuroCup Semifinals, going 17-2 to that point. He was the second leading scorer with 11.4 points per game for a Valencia offense that posted 96.4 points per night, the second-highest average in competition history. A forward who was always circled on the opposition\u2019s scouting report, the 30-year-old poured in 10 points or more in 15 of his 19 appearances until the semifinals. The season didn\u2019t have the fairy-tale ending that Valencia fans were hoping for, but Ojeleye\u2019s performances on the court were an important part of the team\u2019s success.<\/p>\n

Devin Robinson, Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana<\/h3>\n

A highlight-reel regular who often changed the momentum of the games, Cedevita Olimpija power forward\u00a0Devin Robinson<\/a>\u00a0has earned his place in the All-EuroCup Second Team. Few big men have been as consistent this season as Robinson, who ranked 10th this season with 14.9 points per game, scoring in double figures in 17 of his 20 appearances, and in 11 of those he posted at least 15 points. Meanwhile, Robinson was coming up big on the boards, too. He posted a team-high 5.9 rebounds and had 13 games in which he pulled down at least 5 rebounds. All of that helped elevate Cedevita to its first winning season in three years and to the quarterfinals, while Robinson deservingly established himself as an All-EuroCup player with his consistent displays.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

Anthony Brown, Turk Telekom Ankara<\/h3>\n

Anthony Brown<\/a>\u2019s well-rounded skillset and scoring proficiency saw him named to the All-EuroCup Second Team for the second time in his career. Best known for his smooth shooting stroke, Brown led the EuroCup in three-pointers made, converting 2.7 per contest, while shooting a remarkable 45.8% from deep. He ranked third in the competition with 17.8 points per game. Brown consistently delivered clutch performances that propelled his team to success. His 39 points and PIR of 45 against Cluj were both season highs in the EuroCup. Brown’s combination of experience and talent helped lead Turk Telekom into the postseason and, once there, he shined again with 20 points to lead his team to an eighthfinals victory over Buducnost and solidify himself among the top players of the 2024-25 season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

Xabi Lopez-Arostegui, Valencia Basket<\/h3>\n

Mr. Do It All for Valencia has made it to the All-EuroCup Second Team for the first time in his four-season EuroCup career.\u00a0Xabi Lopez-Arostegui<\/a>\u2019s 13.8 PIR average was the second highest on the team and is a good indicator of the positive \u2013 and consistent \u2013 way in which he affected games for his side. He was one of five Valencia to average double digits in scoring (10.4 ppg.), while he was also third on the team in rebounds (3.8 rpg.). The Spaniard netted 10 points or more 10 times in 12 games between Round 6 and the quarterfinals to ensure that Valencia locked up the one seed heading into the postseason, with Lopez-Arostegui having had a sizeable contribution on Valencia\u2019s competition-leading offense and rebounding numbers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
