The 26th week of the VTB United League Regular Season featured eight games, two on Wednesday, one on Thursday, one on Saturday and four on Sunday. One of the main developments came in the first set of matches and was Kalev/Cramo Tallinn completing the postseason field, which brings us to our MVP of the Week.
MVP
Tony Wroten, Kalev/Cramo Tallinn
Washington alumni Tony Wroten has really delivered for Kalev/Cramo Tallinn since he was acquired in December, but kept his best showing for the biggest win of the season. The Estonian side took down Zenit Saint-Petersburg, 96-80, on Wednesday, to clinch a VTB playoffs spot for the first time with Wroten setting multiple personal-bests in the league.
He contributed to the historic win with 31 points, eight rebounds, six drawn fouls and 37 PIR, all VTB career-highs, dished eight helpers as well. His 28:03 on the court were also the most he’s played in the league. That wasn’t it, as the 26-year-old American guard continued with 21 points, seven assists and five boards in the 94-84 victory over Nizhny Novgorod on Saturday.
