With the dust settled after the completion of the Regular Season of the 2024-25 edition of the Basketball Champions League, eight teams advanced directly to the Round of 16, and sixteen more earned a second opportunity to progress through a best-of-three Play-In series.
Before the next stages, Eurohoops recaps the Regular Season, compiling lists of the top five players in efficiency, points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks.
Unfortunately, some of the standouts did not avoid an early exit from the league. In contrast, several stats leaders combined their efforts with a ticket to the Round of 16.
The rookie from BYU
After playing in Slovakia and Georgia, Zac Seljaas went to the second-tier division of Germany and from there to FIT/ONE Wurzburg Baskets and the top division of Germany over the last two years. The 2024-25 campaign extended from the easyCredit BBL to the Champions League and first place in the efficiency list of the Regular Season.
Seljaas, 27, was the Player of the Week 2 but did not stop there. Averaging 20.5 points and 7.0 rebounds per contest helped generate a league-high 139 efficiency points, besides clinching a berth in the Round of 16 via the top seed of Group A.
Narrowly missing the cut with a total of 111 efficiency, Saben Lee topped the list based on averages with 27.8 per game over four appearances with Manisa.
