Sergey Bykov has established himself as a serious rotation player after years of waiting in the wings. Bykov, 25, is in his sixth season with the club – not counting a season on loan – since he signed on as a promising teenager. This year, he set European club competition career-highs in nearly every statistical category, becoming the only Dynamo reserve to average double figures. Despite his age, he is also among the most experienced and decorated players in ULEB Cup. MORE |
Slobodan Ljubotina has quietly emerged as an important contributor this season for the Cinderella story of the ULEB Cup, PGE Turow Zgozelec. Ljubotina, 24, is in his second season with Turow and the ever-improving power forward seems to have found a home. This season has been Ljubotina's first in European competition, but it hasn't showed. He produced 16 points and 6 rebounds in his debut and never let up, becoming one of three Turow players to start every game. MORE |
