Kirilenko, Krstic and Teodosic are the 2011-12 All-Euroleague team nominees
Three of our team’s starters – Andrey Kirilenko, Nenad Krstic and Milos Teodosic are named to the All-Euroleague teams after counting the votes from fans and media members.

Andrei Kirilenko
It took him 11 years to return to the Turkish Airlines Euroleague but small forward Andrei Kirilenko has proved to be instrumental in CSKA Moscow's comeback season. Kirilenko had a sudden impact inthe competition, earning regular season Games 1 and 4 MVP honors and being chosen as the bwin MVP for October. He also leads the 2011-12 Euroleague in performance index ranking (24.1 per game), rebounds (7.2 rpg.) and blocks (1.87 bpg.). Kirilenko is second in steals (1.53 spg.) and was the Euroleague's only player to rank among the 10 best in scoring, rebounding, steals and blocks. His intensity, energy and quickness allowed Kirilenko to become the 2011-12 Best Defender Trophy winner, but he was a decisive factor on offense, too. Kirilenko was the playoffs best scorer (17.5 ppg.), ranked fourth in fouls drawn (5.1 per game) and second in free throws made (4.6 per game). A EuroBasket winner with Russia in 2007 and a bronze medalist in 2011, Kirilenko's last trip to a Final Four was at age 20, back in 2001, when CSKA played the SuproLeague. A world-class player nowadays, Kirilenko is hungrier than anyone to win his first Euroleague title, dominating at both ends of the floor.

Nenad Krstic
A well-rounded veteran right at the prime of his career makes his first appearance in the All-Euroleague teams. Nenad Krstic has been CSKA Moscow's main reference under the baskets, changing games with his solid post skills, effective jumpers and winning character. Chosen as the bwin MVP for November, Krstic had a stellar start, leading the regular season in total index ranking (217) and keeping CSKA undefeated to get its comeback season going. Krstic also earned Top 16 Game 3 MVP honors and is among the 10 best players in several different stats categories. Krstic ranks second overall in index (19.6 per game), fifth in scoring (14.7 ppg.), ninth in rebounds (5.9 rpg.), fifth in foul drawns (4.9 per game) and sixth in two-point percentage (63.9%) despite hitting more shots inside the arch (166) than anyone else in the competition. It all explains how solid he has been until now in his first Euroleague season since 2003-04. Krstic averaged 14.5 points on 22-of-30 two-pointers (73.3%) in the playoffs, showing that he is made for big games. He helped Serbia to win a silver medal at EuroBasket 2009 but with a long contract with CSKA and at age 28, the best is yet to come for him.

Milos Teodosic
Mercurial playmaker Milos Teodosic fueled the league’s most dominant attack in his first season with CSKA Moscow. Teodosic, 25, recorded more assists than any player in the league entering the Final Four and ranked third in assists per game (5.2 apg.). Moreover, he was the only player in the league to record multiple double-digit assist games and did so in back-to-back weeks to finish the regular season. The former Euroleague MVP dished a league-best 5.9 assists per game in helping CSKA to an undefeated regular season. He was again best in the league in the playoffs with 6.5 dished per game. All the while, Teodosic continued to score (10.1 ppg.) and was never afraid to take big shots as evidenced by his buzzer-beating three-pointer to beat Brose Baskets on the road in Week 7. Teodosic arrived at CSKA this season after spending the previous four with Greek club Olympiacos, during which he reached back-to-back Euroleague Final Fours, won a pair of Greek Cups and was named Euroleague MVP and All-Euroleague First Team for the 2009-10 season. A native of Serbia, he also helped his country’s national team win the silver medal at EuroBasket 2009 and reach the semifinals at the 2010 World Championships.

The All-Euroleague first and second teams as well as the identity of the 2011-12 Euroleague MVP will be revealed at the Efes Pilsener Euroleague Awards Ceremony on the evening of May 12 at Ciragan Palace in Istanbul during the 2012 Turkish Airlines Euroleague Final Four.

По позициям вроде так

№ 1
Теодосич
Диамантидис
Маккалебб

№ 2
Спанулис - комбо
Наварро
Домеркант - 2/3

№ 3
Кириленко

№ 4
Лорбек

№ 5
Крстич
Батист

Это ещё раз говорит о том, что 1 и 2 вторых номеров в Европе достаточно.
А вот с нападающими и центровыми беда - если ещё и Лорбек уедет в НБА…

Если я не ошибаюсь, они обычно при составлении этих пятерок используют всего три категории: разыгрывающий, далее 2-3 номера, далее 4-5. То есть может быть символическая пятерка с разыгрывающим, двумя легкими и двумя тяжелыми форвардами, например.

На сайте Евролиги Кирю считают легким форвардом:

Какой то перекос среди номинантов: если Кирю считать 4-м, то 3-ми номерами ЕЛ считает Диму и Домера… которые скорее 2-е…
