David Stockton, Charlon Kloof, James Feldeine, Demetris Nichols and Stevan Jelovac made the BCL Round 5 Team of the Week, per Basketball Champions League’s announcement. Remember what these five players achieved the past two days:
Charlon Kloof
Let us start with this: 7 steals! Kloof is one of those “now you see him, now you don’t” pocket-pickers because before you know it, he’s taken the ball away from you and raced to the other end for a dunk or pulled up and hit a 3-pointer. Kloof hit one of the shots of the night on Tuesday, stepping over midcourt before burying a shot that stretched UCAM Murcia’s lead to 10 and put them on the way to a decisive, 87-68, win at Anwil in Poland. He had 15 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds and a +27 efficiency.
David Stockton
The whirling dervish of a playmaker at medi Bayreuth, Stockton is well known for his dazzling dimes and quick hands but where he really stood out in an 87-71 triumph over Filou Oostende on Wednesday was his shooting. Stockton positively sizzled, hitting 4 of 6 from long range and 6 of 9 overall en route to 20 points and a +25 efficiency.
James Feldeine

Okay, you’re going to need to sit down to hear this news. Feldeine pledged the Splash Brotherhood on Wednesday night, drilling 9 3-pointers on his way to a season-high 35 points for Hapoel Jerusalem in their 88-64 romp over a visiting CEZ Nymburk. The Dominican Republic international, who had the wow factor at the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup, also had 5 rebounds, 4 assists and, not surprisingly, a +39 efficiency.
Demetris Nichols
Sidigas Avellino needed Nichols to be in top form against battle-hardened Banvit and he was, at least before fouling out in the fourth quarter. The 34-year-old led Avellino to their fourth win of the season, a 99-95 victory. Nichols finished with 24 points (he was 8 of 8 inside the arc), 7 rebounds, 6 assists and a +32 efficiency.
Stevan Jelovac
He’s got the savvy and he’s got the grit. Jelovac has also got a spot on the Team of the Week after erupting for 30 points in Brose Bamberg‘s 85-76 win at Telenet Giants Antwerp. The Serbia international, who also had 7 rebounds, ended up with a +29 efficiency as Bamberg won for the third time and ensured they’d be in fourth place in Group C while dropping Antwerp to 5th.
