With Round 14 of the BKT EuroCup Regular Season coming up, the European competition’s General Managers participated in the mid-season survey with a series of fan-centric questions about the league.
Paris Basketball, which currently stands 1st in the standings of Group A with a 12-1 record, was heavily praised by the General Managers, who voted the French team as the most fun-to-watch team with 55.0% of the votes. Tuomas Iisalo, instead, is considered the best coach of the whole EuroCup by 40.0% of the voters.
They were also named the most uncomfortable opponents at 25.0%, just like Gran Canaria and ahead of U-BT Cluj-Napoca (20.0%). Paris Basketball and Gran Canaria tied at 80.0% of the votes as the BKT EuroCup Finals teams, with a spot in next year’s EuroLeague on the line. U-BT Cluj-Napoca is the most surprising team of the season for 35.0% of the voters, ahead of the London Lions (25.0%) and JL Bourg-en-Bresse (20.0%).
TJ Shorts, who has been averaging 17.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 7.2 assists per game in the BKT EuroCup Regular Season, is the MVP of the season for 65.0% of the competition’s General Managers. He’s also the best passer for 50.0% of the GMs and the most spectacular player for 30.0% of the voters, ahead of Trevion Williams (25.0%).
These two were also voted with 20.0% of the preferences each as EuroCup players they would sign. Gediminas Orelik (30.0%) and Xavier Munford (25.0%) were voted as the best pure shooters of the competition, Karel Guzman as the best defender (20.0%), and Juan Nuñez as the rising star (50.0%).
