Jared Harper of Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem has been selected as the 2024–25 BKT EuroCup Most Valuable Player.
He delivered a season for the ages, combining electric scoring, elite playmaking, and record-setting efficiency to lead his team and captivate fans across the continent.
The MVP selection was determined through a vote among EuroCup head coaches (35%), team captains (35%), media representatives (20%), and fans (10%). The BKT EuroCup congratulates Harper on a historic season and well-deserved MVP recognition.
Harper led the EuroCup in scoring with an eye-popping average of 22.8 points per game, the highest by any player since Milan Gurovic’s 25.9 points for Crvena Zvezda Belgrade in the 2006–07 season. He also topped all players in Performance Index Rating with 27.2. In addition, Harper ranked third in assists (5.7 apg).
The 26-year-old guard not only led statistically, but he also rewrote the EuroCup record books. Harper set new single-season marks for fouls drawn (142), free throws made (174), and free throws attempted (199), eclipsing the previous marks held by 2015–16 MVP Errick McCollum.
Hapoel Jerusalem extends MVP Harper for three more years
Winning the MVP award wasn’t the only good news Harper received, as Hapoel Jerusalem announced that they have re-signed him for another three seasons.
The new contract commits him to Jerusalem through the 2026-27 season, with an option for the following year.
“This is a big day for me, and I’m happy,” Harper said after signing the new deal. “I’m in a great situation, at a huge club led by people who want to take the team to the highest places and are committed to the path that is just beginning. I’m looking forward to the [Israeli League] playoffs and to experiencing the full energy of our fans. When I realized that I had everything I wanted with my team here, I really couldn’t leave. Yalla Hapoel!”
