De Colo and Teodosic named to the All-Euroleague First and Second Teams!
Euroleague Basketball offers a special salute to the 10 players who, after voting by fans and accredited media members, have earned places on the 2016-17 All-EuroLeague First and Second Teams, presented by 7DAYS. This season’s group features stars from seven different teams. The All-EuroLeague First Team is made up of Nando De Colo of CSKA Moscow, Sergio Llull of Real Madrid, Georgios Printezis of Olympiacos Piraeus and Fenerbahce Istanbul teammates Bogdan Bogdanovic and Ekpe Udoh. On the All-EuroLeague Second Team are Gustavo Ayon of Real Madrid, Bryant Dunston of Anadolu Efes Istanbul, Nicolo Melli of Brose Bamberg Milos Teodosic of CSKA Moscow and Brad Wanamaker of Darussafaka Dogus Istanbul. The voting is made without regard to player positions. Ayon, De Colo, Teodosic and Udoh are the returning players from the 2015-16 All-EuroLeague teams, while Printezis, Bogdanovic, Dunston, Melli and Wanamaker are earning the honor for the first time. The 2016-17 MVP will be revealed at the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Awards Ceremony on Saturday, May 20 during the Final Four in Istanbul!

CSKA Moscow’s historically prolific offense has become hard to imagine without Nando De Colo, who never lowered the bar he set last season when he became the first player ever to win the Alphonso Ford Top Scorer Trophy and to be voted both the full-season and Final Four MVP. De Colo simply continued where he left off; he was the competition’s second-best scorer (19.4 ppg.) this season and posted the second-highest average performance index rating (21.5). De Colo scored in double figures in all but one of his 26 appearances and his consistent all-around contributions are perhaps best showcased by his five MVP of the round honors this campaign, which was more than any other player this season and one shy of the all-time single-season record. De Colo was second in the competition in free throw accuracy (95.6%) and third free throws made (129). He also dished 4.0 assists per game. De Colo had the highest average performance index rating of the regular season (22.7), which all built his case in earning his third consecutive All-EuroLeague selection and second in a row as a member of the first team.

A man who has become a fixture on the All-EuroLeague teams, CSKA Moscow point guard Milos Teodosic put together one the best seasons in his career to find his name among the EuroLeague’s finest once again. Teodosic led the league with a career-best 7.0 assist per game, was fifth in average performance index rating (17.4), and also ranked sixth in the EuroLeague in scoring (16.2 ppg.). His assists and scoring were career highs. Teodosic made the second-most three-pointers among EuroLeague players with 72. The CSKA maestro was the MVP for October, when he averaged 9.5 assists in helping his team to an undefeated start of the season, after which CSKA never dropped below second place in the standings the rest of the way. Over the course of the campaign, Teodosic set a career-high index rating of 43 in Round 9, which was the highest for any player all season, and with a career-best 34 points and 10 assists in that game also became first player in competition history to post at least 30 point and 10 assists in a single game. For Teodosic, this is the sixth All-EuroLeague selection, which is the third-most in competition history.
