As two-time defending champion Anadolu Efes Istanbul touches down in the French Riviera to face AS Monaco, fans can savor a superstar clash of two All-EuroLeague guards and two of the most dangerous scorers in the competition, Mike James and Vasilije Micic.
Each had a productive and successful Round 1 to start the season last week. James was Round 1's top scorer with 26 point to go with his 6 assists and 3 rebounds in Monaco's resounding road win over Virtus Segafredo Bologna. Micic scored 11 of his 16 points in the second half and dished 6 assists with 0 turnovers as Efes glided past visiting Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade.
Those performances are simply a continuation of excellence from two players who lit it up especially lit last season, when they became two of three players to accomplished a rare scoring featby totaling more than 600 points.
