Dylan Ennis of Gran Canaria (5-2) and Milos Teodosic of Virtus Segafredo Bologna (5-2) have been among the most productive and dangerous offensive weapons through the first seven rounds of the 7DAYS EuroCup Regular Season and now the two are looking to spark offensive fireworks on Wednesday night when Virtus visits Gran Canaria in their Group B showdown.

Ennis paces Gran Canaria this season, having posted double figures in scoring in every game this season, and scoring at least 14 or more points in each of his last six appearances. Virtus playmaker Teodosic, meanwhile, leads his team's top-scoring offense, which has averaged 93.0 points per game this season.
This season, Teodosic has been worth 13.0 points, 7.3 assists and 2.5 rebounds per game. After a slower start to this campaign - 5.5 points and 6.5 assists in his first two appearances of the regular season, Teodosic has averaged 16.3 points and 7.3 assists during Virtus's current three-game winning streak.
Teodosic is shooting a respectable 38.2% from long range, especially considering his high volume. But while he attempts more than 9 field goals per game, he still falls well short of Ennis, who has fired up 12.9 shots per game, tied for the ninth-most this season.
Ennis is averaging a career-high 16.1 points this season, which ranks 11th in the competition while shooting a career-best 40.9% from three-point range. He has knocked down 18 three-point shots through the first seven rounds, which is more than all but four players so far this season and also just 14 shy of the number of triples he made in his first 27 games in the competition.
The Gran Canaria swingman is also on pace for career-best marks in rebounds, steals, blocks and free throws made.
For the soon-to-be 30-year old Ennis, this is his third season in the competition, with a third different club. He made his EuroCup debut in the 2018-19 season when he helped MoraBanc Andorra reach the semifinals and he made six appearances a season later with AS Monaco.
Teodosic, on the other hand, made his competition debut in January 2015, at the age of 17 with FMP Belgrade of his native Serbia. He also played there the following season, but after that did not return to the competition until he signed with Virtus for the 2019-20 campaign.
Over the last three seasons, Teodosic has been lighting it up, averaging 15.9 points and 18.5 PIR, which are both the highest of any player with at least 25 appearances during that stretch. He has done it by making 2.4 two-pointers as well as 2.4 three-pointers per game and dishing 6.5 assists per game, the competition's most since the 2019-20 season.
A two-time EuroCup Regular Reason MVP and a former Turkish Airlines EuroLeague MVP, Teodosic now aims to keep fueling Virtus's offense on the road against Gran Canaria, where Ennis will be looking to continue producing at his career-best level.
