To be fair, Lorenzo Brown has been playing very well since the beginning of the season. His solid showings were overshadowed by UNICS Kazan underperforming as a team. Bouncing back with seven wins in the last nine games, his team seems to have fully recovered from the sluggish start.
Zo has been maybe the most influential player during that ongoing comeback. Ranked 18th in points scored might not be impressive, but being second in assists and seventh in PIR display the extent of his contribution. Good stuff.
