For his steady brilliance as Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv finished the month with a six-game winning streak, Wade Baldwin of Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv is Euroleague Basketball's choice as MVP for March. Baldwin ranked second among all EuroLeague players with 18.7 points per game for the month; fourth in performance index rating with 20.3 on average; and sixth in a assists, at 5.0 per night. His outsized influence on Maccabi's fortune was illustrated by the fact that he led the team in PIR, scoring, assists or all three in five of the seven games in March.

Baldwin ranked second among all EuroLeague players with 18.7 points per game for the month; fourth in performance index rating with 20.3 on average; and sixth in a assists, at 5.0 per night.

Most importantly, when the most consequential month on the schedule had finished, Maccabi was sitting alone in fifth place with one foot in the playoffs.

The MVP of the Month award is now in its 18th season. The winner is named by Euroleague Basketball based on his and his team's performance during the month in question. The March award was based on the seven or eight games that all teams played last month. Baldwin has won the first such award of his four-year EuroLeague career, encompassing 120 games total. He is Maccabi's first monthly honoree since Alex Tyus won it in January of 2019.

Wade Baldwin | March MVP | Turkish Airlines EuroLeague

It could have been another story after Maccabi opened the month with a hard [86-67](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2022-23/as-monaco-maccabi-playtika-tel-aviv/E2022/226/) loss at AS Monaco despite Baldwin's game-high 17 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. Back home a week later, he contributed 15 points – including 5 in the final 100 seconds – to a pivotal [78-74](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2022-23/maccabi-playtika-tel-aviv-fenerbahce-beko-istanbul/E2022/243/) victory against then-higher-ranked Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul. Two nights later, Baldwin poured in a game-high 23 points in Maccabi's inspirational [64-86](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2022-23/anadolu-efes-istanbul-maccabi-playtika-tel-aviv/E2022/248/) triumph on the floor of defending champion Anadolu Efes Istanbul. The next week, another direct competitor, Cazoo Baskonia Vitoria- Gasteiz, came to Tel Aviv and left defeated [93-79](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2022-23/maccabi-playtika-tel-aviv-cazoo-baskonia-vitoria-gasteiz/E2022/256/) as Baldwin dropped another game-high of 24 points while dishing 8 assists and pulling 7 rebounds for a PIR of 31. He put up 23 points and 7 assists the next week for a PIR of 26 as Maccabi swamped host LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne [67-85](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2022-23/ldlc-asvel-villeurbanne-maccabi-playtika-tel-aviv/E2022/264/) for its fourth consecutive win. Home again for the month-ending double-round last week, Baldwin combined 14 points with 7 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals for a PIR of 23 in a record-breaking [111-80](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2022-23/maccabi-playtika-tel-aviv-virtus-segafredo-bologna/E2022/273/) win that eliminated Virtus Segafredo Bologna from playoff contention. And 48 hours later, he posted 14 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds as Maccabi made it six wins in a row, topping EA7 Emporio Armani Milan [85-66](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2022-23/maccabi-playtika-tel-aviv-ea7-emporio-armani-milan/E2022/281/). 

On March 3, Maccabi was sitting in a three-way tie for ninth place with a 13-13 record. Just 28 days later, having reeled off six straight victories by an average score of 17.8 points, it had a 19-13 record and had leap-frogged three of its March victims in the standings. During the streak, which is ongoing, Baldwin has averaged 19 points, 5.3 assists and a PIR of 21.7 while shooting 60.1% on two-pointers (28 of 46) and 91.7% on free throws (22 of 24). Maccabi fans will have the chance to thank Baldwin for his exploits when he receives the MVP trophy at an upcoming home game.

Game News

One team heading for the playoffs hosts another close to securing that status as Monaco (21-11) welcomes Partizan (18-14), which needs one more win to make certain of post-season action. One area for potential Monaco dominance is rebounding: the Roca team leads the league in offensive boards, averaging 12.6 per game, while Partizan ranks last in defensive rebounds with 20.9 per night. Limiting the hosts' second-chance points should be a priority for Zeljko Obradovic's men. Monaco may yet move up from fourth place, but has to win both games left and get help for that to happen.

The Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season is racing towards its conclusion.

The high bar for EuroLeague youngsters

The Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season is racing towards its conclusion. With the playoff push tightening, Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade split the double-round week in Stark Arena, falling to FC Barcelona but besting Real Madrid days later to keep a leg up on the teams vying for eighth place for the time being.

In Partizan's game against Barcelona, 22-year-olds [Yam Madar](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/yam-madar/011052/) and [Rokas Jokubaitis](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/rokas-jokubaitis/007519/) faced off for a stretch of the first quarter. While both players fill modest rotate roles for their respective teams, they are two of just a dozen Rising Star-eligible players seeing consistent playing time this season.  

The graph above shows the percentage of players who have been on the court for over 200 total minutes by their age at the mid-point of each season since the EuroLeague moved to its current format. Over the last 7 seasons, only 53 players 22 years old or younger have played more than 200 minutes in a season, so even if Madar and Jokubaitis are not playing big minutes, relatively speaking, the fact that they have both eclipsed the 400-minute mark this season for playoff teams is quite impressive and adds some interesting subtext to their mid-game encounters. 

For obvious reasons, the urgency of the EuroLeague puts a lot of pressure on players to perform and execute. As a result, opportunities for players who are just beginning to learn the pro game and are still developing their skill sets are fairly rare. Even the players who do earn them do not always see extended minutes, but the future of the EuroLeague can nonetheless be found in mid-game stints, emergency situations, and mop-up duty across the league landscape.

Among the other young players seeing significant action this season, [Gabriele Procida](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/gabriele-procida/008384/) is among the youngest. He will not turn 21 until June, but he has been a staple of ALBA Berlin's rotation nonetheless. He's coming off an 11-point effort against Cazoo Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz – among his best efforts in his first season competing at the highest levels. [Nico Mannion](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/niccolo-mannion/011064/) is in his second season with Virtus Segafredo Bologna and just had one of his best games as a pro, as well, after scoring 17 points and dishing out 6 assists in a loss to Anadolu Efes Istanbul. 

Few young players have collected as much experience as Valencia Basket's [Jaime Pradilla](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/jaime-pradilla/010393/), who began seeing spot action in the EuroLeague as a teenager two seasons ago. While Pradilla is averaging only 3.7 points over game this season, the fact that he has carved out and maintained a place on the court for Valencia since he arrived there almost three years ago makes him a true outlier.

To say it is hard for teenagers to find a role in the EuroLeague is an understatement. This season, only two players shy of their 20th birthday have taken the floor regularly: [Eleftherios Mantzoukas](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/eleftherios-mantzoukas/008084/) of Panathinaikos Athens and 17-year-old [Zaccharie Risacher](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/zaccharie-risacher/010718/) of LDLS ASVEL Villeurbanne. 

Risacher has added his name to one of the EuroLeague's most prestigious lists, joining Luka Doncic, Usman Garuba, Victor Wembanyama, Theo Maledon, Deni Avdija and Matthew Strazel as the lone players in recent history to see significant action before turning 19.

With nearly half of all EuroLeague players each year competing between the ages of 26 and 29 and veterans getting dramatically more action off the bench than developing players, it says a lot about the young talents who manage to earn minutes in the regular season.  Even if the Rising Star winner shines brightly some years more than others, it is important to remember that the bar for these players is quite high. That is truer than ever with the level of parity in the league at the moment. 

Yam Madar, Rokas Jokubaitis Top Plays from 03/04/2023 to 04/03/2023

Recent highlights: Yam Madar and Rokas Jokubaitis

Karolis Lukosiunas, Arnas Butkevicius, Ignas Brazdeikis and Lukas Lekavicius scored all of Zalgiris Kaunas's 22 points in the final 5 minutes of the second quarter, turning around the game against Valencia Basket.

 Lithuanian pride helped Zalgiris to crucial wins 

Zalgiris Kaunas took a step forward in the playoff race by thrashing Valencia Basket 95-74 in front of another sellout crowd at Zalgirio Arena on Friday evening. The team was able to notch its 17th win of the season and this was a special one for a multitude of reasons.

Whenever the double-round weeks come around, teams often end up looking for help from fresh players further down the bench. Zalgiris is no exception, and often relies on its home-grown Lithuanian players to make solid contributions. This week, some of those contributors the usual suspects, others proved that they can be very valuable in the long run, especially if Zalgiris makes the playoffs, and one unsung guard proved that he can be counted on when his team is in trouble.

Karolis Lukosiunas entered Zalgiris's Round 32 game against Valencia averaging just 1.6 points per game. But on Friday evening, he had 12 points after shooting 4-for-6 on three-pointers, with 3 of them coming in the second quarter after Valencia led 30-31. Arnas Butkevicius and Ignas Brazdeikis fed off Lukosiunas's momentum and by the time Lukas Lekavicius beat the halftime buzzer with a jumper, Zalgiris led 52-40. Zalgiris scored 22 points in the final 5 minutes of the second quarter, and all of them came from Lithuanian players.

Arnas Butkevicius, Lukas Lekavicius, Laurynas Birutis, Ignas Brazdeikis and Karolis Lukosiunas helped Zalgiris Kaunas beat Valencia Basket in Round 32.

Lithuanian pride in Round 32

"It is a double-\[round\] week and we needed to find the energy, find the fresh players," Zalgiris head coach Kazys Maksvytis said. "And before the game, we thought that Karolis Lukosiunas could be that player. We gave him a chance and he used his chance. Bravo!"

Lukosiunas proved to be a valuable asset for Zalgiris. Brazdeikis has been consistently showing that recently. Against Valencia, he had 15 points and 4 rebounds for a PIR of 16. He broke the game open, first with a wild putback layup before then finding Lekavicius for the first of his 3 bombs from beyond the arc.

Butkevicius was arguably the best player on the floor against Valencia, doing a little bit of everything. He helped Zalgiris hold Chris Jones scoreless in this game with strong, physical defense. Butkevicius had yet another fine all-around game, too, posting 11 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals for a PIR of 21. In Zalgiris's 79-70 home win against AS Monaco earlier this week, he had 10 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals for a PIR of 16.

"We know that we need those wins and we have nothing to lose. That is the only way for us: to keep fighting and put all the energy we have, and that's it. There is no question about that," Butkevicius said. "I felt pretty good and enjoyed playing today a lot. This energy from the crowd gave me some confidence. It was really a game to remember."

Laurynas Birutis came off the bench to get 8 points on 4-of-4 shooting, 6 rebounds and a PIR of 13. Lekavicius also finished the game with a team-high 16 points. Zalgiris had six players who scored in double digits, of which four were Lithuanian. There was plenty of good news for Zalgiris: Lekavicius found his scoring groove; Birutis and Lukosiunas showed that they are ready for bigger roles; and Brazdeikis reaffirmed his position as one of the team's leaders.

All of that will be taken into account by Coach Maksvytis when Zalgiris, pushed on by its passionate fans inside Zalgirio Arena, hosts Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv in a crucial game for both teams next week.

 Lithuanian pride is keeping Zalgiris in the race

European giants Gasol, Nowitzki, Parker to enter Hall of Fame

Euroleague Basketball congratulates three of the greatest ambassadors that European basketball has ever produced – Pau Gasol, Tony Parker and Dirk Nowitzki – on being voted as new inductees to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. The announcement was made over the weekend at the NCAA Final Four in Houston, USA.

The three played key roles in changing the global basketball landscape while spending the vast majority of their careers in the United States, where they each won at least one NBA championship. Only a small group of Europeans had found success in America before Nowitzki arrived in Dallas in 1998. By the time the trio finished in the NBA in 2019, the doors for Europeans had been blown wide open for stars such as Luka Doncic, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Nikola Jokic.

In between, Gasol, Parker and Nowitzki were stalwarts for their respective national teams and collected hauls of medals and personal accolades at the Basketball World Cup, Olympic Games and EuroBasket tournaments.

"As a former player, it is always important to see colleagues achieving new and successful goals, and I am sure that besides all the titles that Dirk, Pau and Tony have lifted, this well-deserved recognition is especially touching for what it represents," Dejan Bodiroga, Euroleague Basketball President, said. "Having three European born and raised players inducted the same year into the Hall of Fame is a fact that we all should be proud of, as it demonstrates the importance that European basketball has acquired in the global ecosystem during the last decades, raising an enormous number of talents and achieving unquestionable success."

<center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Introducing the Class of 2023. 🏆 <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/23HoopClass?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#23HoopClass</a> <a href="https://t.co/at27SyXUsI">pic.twitter.com/at27SyXUsI</a></p>&mdash; Basketball HOF (@Hoophall) <a href="https://twitter.com/Hoophall/status/1642192986598522880?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 1, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> 

"I would like to congratulate Dirk, Pau and Tony for this recognition. As an American who has spent a long time on this side of the Atlantic, it is enriching to see how basketball has evolved through the years and the key role of globalization to reach new audiences and widen its boundaries," Marshall Glickman, Euroleague Basketball CEO, stated. "These three super stars perfectly symbolize the importance of European basketball culture, becoming perfect ambassadors not only to educate other countries about the way basketball is experienced in Europe, but also as a great inspiration for a generation of young kids to love this sport."

Gasol and Parker went the extra mile to leave their mark on their homelands. Gasol began his professional career with his beloved FC Barcelona, which he led to the Spanish Cup title in 2001 before being voted to the All-EuroLeague Second Team as a 20-year-old. Two decades later, he returned home at age 39 to end his career with Barca and just a few months later helped it reach the 2020-21 EuroLeague Championship Game in Cologne, Germany.

Parker bought a stake in LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne in 2009 and, under his watch, the sleeping giant has blossomed into one of the top teams in France and a regular in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague. He set club records in the EuroCup with his performance in an ASVEL uniform in 2011 during the NBA lockout. Since becoming ASVEL's president, Parker has witnessed the club lift four French League titles and two French Cups. He has overseen the building of a new arena, too.

Their Hall of Fame resumes speak for themselves. Gasol, whose No. 16 was retired earlier this year by the Los Angeles Lakers, helped that storied franchise win back-to-back NBA championships in 2009 and 2010. The 2002 NBA Rookie of the Year was a six-time NBA All-Star over his 18 seasons with Memphis, Chicago, San Antonio and Milwaukee.

 

On the international stage, the Spanish center was one of the most dominant players of all time. Gasol won 11 medals at major competitions with Spain. He was the MVP of the 2006 World Cup after leading Spain to glory. Gasol also helped Spain to three EuroBasket gold medals as MVP in both 2009 and 2015, as well as two silvers and a bronze in successive Olympics between 2008 and 2016.

 

Parker played 17 seasons for the San Antonio Spurs, which he helped turn into a dynasty with four NBA championships. He was named MVP of the NBA Finals in 2007. Parker was a six-time All-Star whose No. 9 jersey was retired in San Antonio. He played his final NBA season with Charlotte in 2018-19. France won four EuroBasket medals with Parker in the lineup, including gold in Slovenia in 2013. He was the top scorer and was named MVP of that tournament.

Nowitzki is sixth in NBA history in scoring with 31,560 points. He was the league MVP in 2007 and led his team to the championship in 2011. Nowitzki played his entire 21-season NBA career with the Dallas Mavericks, who retired his No. 41 jersey. He was chosen as an NBA All-Star 14 times. In 2002, Nowitzki was named the Basketball World Cup MVP after leading Germany to the bronze medal in Indianapolis, USA. Three years later, he earned MVP honors at the 2005 EuroBasket after helping Germany to the silver medal.

 

The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is located in Springfield, Massachusetts. The induction ceremony will take place in August.

### Lee went for double-digit assists

Panathinaikos Athens recorded its third win in four games when it downed FC Bayern Munich [86-76](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2022-23/panathinaikos-athens-fc-bayern-munich/E2022/272/) in Round 31 on Tuesday night, with [Paris Lee](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/paris-lee/011225/) orchestrating Greens' offense en route to a career-high 11 assists. Lee had 10 of those assists in the first three quarters as Panathinaikos built a 17-point lead, paving the way to victory. It was the first time that Lee had reached double digits for assists in his EuroLeague career, surpassing his previous best of 8, which came back in Round 23. He also had 10 points and 2 steals in the win.

### Butkevicius's all-round displays in rare starts

Zalgiris Kaunas pulled out an important [79-70](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2022-23/zalgiris-kaunas-as-monaco/E2022/277/) win against AS Monaco in Round 31 before trouncing Valencia Basket [95-74](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2022-23/zalgiris-kaunas-valencia-basket/E2022/283/) in Round 32, with [Arnas Butkevicius](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/arnas-butkevicius/002676/) enjoying two of the best all-round performances in his career to date. Against Monaco, Butkevicius scored 10 points on 2-of-4 two-pointers and 2-of-3 three-pointers, in addition to having a career-high 5 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals for a PIR of 16. He followed that display up with 11 points on 3-for-4 shooting from the field, while he also had 4 rebounds, 3 assists and matched his career best with 4 steals against Valencia. In that game, he also had a team-high and career-high PIR of 21. It was quite a week for Butkevicius, who was making just his fifth and sixth starts of the season and had not scored in double figures since Round 18 in early January.

### Hanga helped Real on its way

Real Madrid secured home-court advantage in the playoffs following its [90-75](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2022-23/real-madrid-fenerbahce-beko-istanbul/E2022/279/) victory over Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul in Round 31. Los Blancos enjoyed a balanced offensive effort in which [Adam Hanga](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/adam-hanga/005099/) had a big role with 11 points, 7 assists, 2 rebounds, 1 block and 1 steal during his 20 minutes on the floor. Hanga did most of his damage in the first three quarters, especially in the third when he had a three-pointer, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block to help Real make it a double-digit ballgame. From there, Real was able to comfortably close out the game in the fourth quarter, with Hanga getting a well-deserved rest on the bench.

### Dobric shined for Zvezda

Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade might have been eliminated from playoff contention after the double-round week, but it did win both games this week to keep its chances alive for as long as possible. Across those two games, [Ognjen Dobric](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/ognjen-dobric/004007/) was instrumental in his team's success. He first had 16 points, making 5-of-7 two-pointers and 2-of-7 threes in a [92-73](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2022-23/crvena-zvezda-meridianbet-belgrade-valencia-basket/E2022/276/) win over Valencia. Dobric then followed that up 48 hours later with 18 points on 3-of-8 two-pointers and a joint career-best 4-of-5 from long range in a [60-76](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2022-23/ldlc-asvel-villeurbanne-crvena-zvezda-meridianbet-belgrade/E2022/284/) win at LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne. He reached those numbers in just over 20 minutes on the floor at the Astroballe.

### Big-time impact from low-scoring Costello

Cazoo Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz had a pair of big home wins this week. In a come-from-behind [92-69](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2022-23/cazoo-baskonia-vitoria-gasteiz-fenerbahce-beko-istanbul/E2022/286/) triumph against Fenerbahce, [Mathew Costello](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/matthew-costello/010444/) let the others do the scoring but still made crucial contributions. Costello made both of his shot attempts: a second-chance three-pointer to cut the margin to 45-51 midway through the third quarter, and a tip-in with under four minutes to go in the game to make it 80-66. But what made an even bigger impact were his career-high 12 rebounds and career-best-equaling 3 blocks. He also had 4 assists and 2 steals. Costello finished the game with a PIR of 24, the second-best mark on the team, which might seem unusual for someone who scored just 5 points in 21 minutes on the floor.

### Nebo ruled the defensive boards

Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv is on the brink of the playoffs after two convincing home wins. In the triumph over Milan, big man [Josh Nebo ](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/josh-nebo/011199/)dominated the defensive glass. In an [85-66](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2022-23/maccabi-playtika-tel-aviv-ea7-emporio-armani-milan/E2022/281/) win, the Maccabi center finished with game-high 10 rebounds, all of which were defensive. That was the second time this season that Nebo had grabbed 10 defensive boards, a career high for him. On the offensive end, Nebo scored 8 points, helping Maccabi move into fifth place in the standings and all but mathematically clinch a playoff berth.
