The Eurohoops “awards” are peaking with the best of the best in the EuroLeague and the All-EuroLeague First Team. Four small players and a big one are the picks of the website’s writers

We “awarded” Luka Doncic (Real Madrid) as the most improved player and Rising Star of the season in the EuroLeague, we saw in Ekpe Udoh (Fenerbahce) the best defender, we voted Shane Larkin (Baskonia) as the best rookie and we squeezed some of the biggest names in the game (Bogdanovic, Printezis, Singleton, Wanamaker & Randolph) in the All-EuroLeague Second Team. But there are some even bigger names, according to the preferences of the website’s writers and most of them play on the back court with a pretty big exception.

Here are our own best of the best:

Ekpe Udoh (Fenerbahce Istanbul): 23 picks in First Team
12 pts | 7.6 rbs | 1.9 as | 1 st | 2.1 bl | 1.2 to | 31:38 min | 19.9 PIR

His long arms and his experience cover the basket every time and helped Fenerbahce continue their streak of consecutive appearances (3) in the Final Four. But the one-time NBAer isn’t all defense (“Defender of the Season” by Eurohoops). He’s the only one with 23/23 First Team picks.
