An up-and-coming playmaker, Hugo Benitez of Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse, has the chance to test his skills against one of the greatest: Milos Teodosic of Virtus Segafredo Bologna.
Major Matchup: Bourg's Benitez vs. Virtus's Teodosic



Benitez is one of the most talented young players in the EuroCup this season. At age 21, he is averaging 5.9 points on 95.7% free-throw shooting, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals and a PIR of 9.2 coming off Bourg's bench. This will be Benitez's first game against Teodosic this season. He already played well against 'Teo' in the 2020-21 EuroCup campaign with 9 points and 7 assists in an 87-99 home loss. It should be another learning experience for Benitez, with a chance to beat him.

No player has averaged more assists in a season (minimum 10 games played) in competition history. Teodosic has also been worth 12.2 points on 90.6% free-throw shooting and a PIR of 17.8.
