  Sasha Vezenkov, Olympiacos: 'A lot of pieces come together'

It is safe to say that among the players who shined a bit brighter than the rest in the 2022-23 regular season is Sasha Vezenkov of Olympiacos Piraeus.

He earned monthly MVP honors twice this season, plus he leads the league in scoring (17.6 ppg.) and PIR (22.2), not to mention that he is also second in rebounds (7.1 rpg.).

"A lot of pieces come together," Vezenkov says. "First of all, the confidence, the trust that I get from my teammates and my coaching staff. Second, that the team is winning..] It's a team sport so winning is the most important things."

His teammates Alec Peters and Thomas Walkup cannot stress enough how instrumental Vezenkov is in a team that aspires to anything and everything this season.

"We don't even run plays for him," Peters says. "There's nothing specific for one player, [Vezenkov] is just able to find his rhythm, his offense and his production within our system."

"As a point guard, he is a dream to play with," Walkup explains. "He is playing for the team. His job is to score the basketball and he does his job very, very well."
