An outstanding performance in a winning effort has allowed Sasha Vezenkov of Olympiacos Piraeus to claim Regular Season Round 2 MVP honors. Vezenkov led Olympiacos to a 90-80 home victory against Zalgiris Kaunas on Friday night. He finished the game with 23 points on 6-of-10 shooting from two-point range, 2-of-4 from three and 5-of-6 from the line, while he also added a career-high 14 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 5 fouls drawn for a PIR of 37, the highest of any player in Round 2 and so far this season. Vezenkov earned MVP of the Round honors for the fifth time in his EuroLeague career, all of which have come with Olympiacos in the last three seasons.
Mathias Lessort of Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade and Will Clyburn of Anadolu Efes Istanbul each had a PIR of 34 in Round 2, but neither player led their teams to a victory. Lessort had 19 points, 12 rebounds and 8 fouls drawn in his team's 103-96 overtime road loss against Cazoo Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz. Clyburn recorded 28 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 7 fouls drawn in Efes's overtime 95-92 loss against AS Monaco. Zach Leday, also of Partizan, (32 PIR) and Markus Howard of Baskonia (27) complete the top individual performances in Round 2.
