Axel Julien of JDA Dijon, Tony Wroten of Anwil Wloclawek, Michele Vitali of JDA Dijon, Howard Sant-Roos of AEK and Emanuel Terry of Teksüt Bandirma make up Team of the Week for Gameday 9 per championsleague.basketball.
AXEL JULIEN – Point Guard, JDA Dijon
Dijon made their 92-71 victory over Neptunas on Wednesday look easy, thanks largely to Julien delivering the best performance of his BCL career and becoming the first player to collect at least 20 points, 10 assists and 5 steals in a single game in the competition.
The 27-year-old French point guard scored a season-high 21 points, dished out 10 assists to post a double-double, and came up with 5 steals and 4 rebounds to register an efficiency rating of 31. He has now risen to fifth-leading player in assists, averaging 6.6 dimes per game.
Julien has earned a spot on Team of the Week for the first time in his career and he is the second Dijon player to claim the accolade this season, after Lamonte Ulmer on Gameday 7.
TONY WROTEN – Guard, Anwil Wloclawek
Anwil got off to a poor start in their very important clash with Burgos on Wednesday, trailing by 12 points early on, but Wroten powered the Polish team’s reaction with his 12 first-half points and guided them to a 100-90 win.
The 26-year-old American combo guard finished with 20 points, a season-high 6 assists and added 5 rebounds and 2 steals to record an efficiency rating of 20.
Wroten, who is now the league’s fifth-leading scorer on 19.3 points per game on average, has become the second Anwil player to claim a spot on Team of the Week this season, following in the footsteps of Ricky Ledo who made the team last week.
