Besiktas GAIN Istanbul guard Devon Dotson<\/a>\u00a0came up big when it counted most, helping his team sweep a best-of-three series against a fellow Turkish side Bahcesehir College Istanbul and earning MVP of the BKT EuroCup Semifinals honors in the process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

Dotson had two of his five best performances of the season in the two semifinal victories, accumulating a 21 PIR in each of them. He finished with the highest PIR of any player in either semifinal series.<\/p>\n

Playing in his second season in the competition, Dotson finished the series averaging 16.0 points on 57.1% three-point shooting, along with 5.0 assists and 4.5 rebounds, while playing just 22 minutes per game.<\/p>\n

In Game 1, Dotson had 16 points on 4-of-5 on two-pointers and 2-of-4 on threes, along with 6 assists and 4 rebounds in a 91-72 win. He followed that up with 16 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block in Game 2. Dotson made 2-of-6 twos, 2-of-3 three-pointers and 6-of-8 free throws as Besiktas pulled out a 72-82 road win to clinch the series and reach the club\u2019s first EuroCup Finals appearance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
