The 2018-19 All-EuroLeague Second Team as announced by EuroLeague on Friday, highlights some of the best performers of the current season, with one of the most consistent honorees of recent years being joined this time by four players receiving the distinction for the first time.
Included on the second team, which was voted for by fans and accredited media members, are this season’s Alphonso Ford Top Scorer Trophy winner, Mike James of AX Armani Exchange Olimpia Milan, and the EuroLeague Best Defender, Walter Tavares of Real Madrid. They are joined by two more newcomers to the All-EuroLeague team, Vasilije Micic of Anadolu Efes Istanbul and Victor Poirier of KIROLBET Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz, and by CSKA Moscow‘s Nando De Colo, whose fifth All-EuroLeague selection ties him for the fourth-most such honors in competition history.
Media voting counted for 75% and fan voting 25% of the totals used to determine the All-EuroLeague selections. The All-EuroLeague Second Team is the last among a series of honors announced this week. The EuroLeague MVP award will be named at the 2019 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Final Four in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain. The Alexander Gomelskiy Coach of the Year Trophy and the Gianluigi Porelli EuroLeague Executive of the Year are post-season awards.
