Maldunas (2.04 meters, 29 years old) joined Lietkabelis in 2019 and has been with the club since. He averaged 5.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 19 appearances in the EuroCup last season. Maldunas’s finest game came in the last game of the season when he posted 10 points on 5-of-6 shooting plus 9 rebounds in the EuroCup Eighthfinals loss at Virtus Segafredo Bologna. After playing college basketball at Dartmouth College, Maldunas began his professional career in Spain with Penas Huesca. He has also played for Palencia in Spain and for Nevezis Kedainiai in Lithuania.

Virtus sets assist mark for EuroCup champions

Indeed, Virtus recorded the highest assists per game average for a championship-winning team (22.0) in competition history. It bettered the previous record of the 2014-15 champions, Khimki Moscow Region, which had a higher total number of assists but a lower figure when it comes to assists per game (21.8).

Star playmaker Milos Teodosic, who averaged 7.9 assists in 15 games for Virtus in 2021-22, did a great job of keeping everyone involved, particularly in the latter stages of the season. In fact, in four of Virtus's last five regular-season games, Teodosic recorded a double-digit number of assists. He was also aided by fellow point guard Alessandro Pajola who averaged 3.9 assists in 21 games. 

Historically, several teams playing such eye-pleasing basketball have been in the mix to lift the silverware at the end of the season. Take the 2018-19 ALBA Berlin team, for example, which averaged 21.8 assists per game. It ended up losing in the final to Valencia Basket, which had the second-highest total that season with 20.3.

Then there is the Virtus squad from the 2020-21 season, which averaged a competition record of 23.4 assists per game and reached the semifinals before falling to UNICS Kazan. However, AS Monaco, which won the EuroCup that year, had a far inferior assist average, 14.8.

The 2021-22 Virtus team stands at the mountaintop in assists per game, as it recorded the highest-ever figure for a championship team. After the aforementioned 2014-15 Khimki side is Valencia Basket from 2018-19, Khimki from 2011-12 and Valencia from 2013-14.

Another factor that makes Virtus's triumph in 2022 even more impressive is the fact that it became just the fifth team to lead the EuroCup in assists per game en route to winning the title. 

The last three years have seen Virtus put up three of the EuroCup's seven-highest assist per game figures, with this period aligning with the time that Teodosic has been on the team. It will be interesting to see if Virtus and Teodosic can replicate the same results in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague next season.

Virtus Segafredo Bologna showed during the 2021-22 7DAYS EuroCup season that it is possible to become champions by sharing the ball.

Pradilla led the 2021-22 EuroCup by a wide margin with 79.8% two-point accuracy, which was the highest in the competition since 2005. He missed just 17 of his 84 two-point shot attempts. Alen Omic of Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana ranked second, with 59 of 82 shots inside the arc made (72.0%). Three other players - Octavius Ellis of Turk Telekom Ankara (71.2%), Jasiel Rivero of Valencia (70.4%) and Zach Auguste of Cedevita (70.3%) made more than 70% of their two-point shots. 

Pradilla turned 21 years of age midway through the season and delivered from the very start of the campaign when he made all of his 5 two-point shots in Round 1 against Promitheas Patras. After four games, Pradilla was averaging 8.5 points with just one shot missed from downtown: he was 12 for 12 two-pointers, 2 for 3 on three-pointers and 4 for 4 on free throws. Pradilla was perfect from two-point range in Rounds 6-8 against Umana Reyer Venice (3 for 3), Frutti Extra Bursaspor (3 for 3) and Cedevita (2 for 2). At the regular season's halfway mark, Pradilla had missed just 4 two-point attempts and was shooting an incredible 88.9%. 

Opposing coaches did their job and Pradilla stopped catching players by surprise, but his post skills, ability to finish plays with dunks and great effectiveness from mid-range allowed him to lead the regular season in two-point shooting percentage (79.5%), ahead of three Cedevita players: Omic (72.7%), Edo Muric (71.4%) and Auguste (70.8%). Pradilla kept shooting the ball with outstanding accuracy in the playoffs, making all 4 of his attempts in the eighthfinals against Hamburg Towers and 5 of 6 shots in the quarterfinals against Boulogne Metropolitans 92.

At the end of the season, Pradilla had the highest two-point accuracy in EuroCup history for a player appearing in more than 12 games. Primoz Brezec of Krasnye Krylia made 47 of 55 two-pointers (85.5%) in six games in the 2010-11 season. Jozef Szendrei of Debreceni Vadkakasok (81.8%) and Boyko Mladenov of Lukoil Academic Sofia (80.6%) also had higher percentages in the 2004-05 season but played in only nine and 12 games, respectively. 

Pradilla helped Valencia reach the EuroCup Semifinals, averaging 8.7 points and 4.0 rebounds in 20 EuroCup games this season despite playing less than 16 minutes per night. On a per-minute basis, Pradilla was eighth in PIR (27.5 per 40 minutes) and 14th in scoring (21.9). He finished tied with Joel Parra of Joventut Badalona for second place in a close race for the EuroCup Rising Star award, which was won by Khalifa Diop of Gran Canaria. Pradilla now hopes to keep his overall effectiveness in a higher level of competition: the 2022-23 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague.
