Per EuroLeague.net:
The Turkish Airlines EuroLeague reached new heights in the 2017-18 season with great drama and amazing performances. At the center of all the excitement are the players, and Euroleague Basketball is pleased to salute the stars that made the season so fantastic. After voting by fans and accredited media members, five of the biggest stars in the competition have been selected to the 2017-18 All-EuroLeague First Team presented by 7DAYS. They are Nick Calathes of Panathinaikos Superfoods Athens, Nando De Colo of CSKA Moscow, Luka Doncic of Real Madrid, Tornike Shengelia of KIROLBET Baskonia Vitoria Gasteiz and Jan Vesely of Fenerbahce Dogus Istanbul.
This star quintet represents excellence in many ways, not to mention regeneration. Only De Colo returns from last season’s All-EuroLeague Team and three of the players – Calathes, Doncic and Shengelia – have been voted to All-EuroLeague status for the first time. Media voting counted for 75% and fan voting 25% of the totals used to determine the All-EuroLeague selections. The All-EuroLeague First Team is among a series of honors being announced this week. The All-EuroLeague Second Team will be revealed on Friday. The EuroLeague MVP award will be named at the 2018 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Final Four in Belgrade. The Alexander Gomelskiy Coach of the Year Trophy and the Gianluigi Porelli EuroLeague Executive of the Year are post-season awards.
