While helping launch his team into the Quarterfinal Playoffs for the first time, Igor Rakocevic of Real Madrid became the MVP of Top 16 Week 5 thanks to the highest index rating among all Euroleague players. Also co-MVP back in Week 2 of the Top 16, Rakocevic this time led Real Madrid in a 74-53 home win in Group E against Ulker by scoring 22 points on 8-for-12 shooting. He added 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 fouls drawn for an index ranking of 28. Following him was Michalis Kakiouzis of Winterthur FCB whose 26 index rating - based on 13 points, 5-for-7 shooting, 8 rebounds and 3 steals - helped his team clinch first place in Group D with a road win at Olympiacos. Next, two players from Benetton's home win over Cibona in Group G, had index rankings of 25 each. Marcus Goree of Benetton scored 19 points to keep his team alive, while Scoonie Penn of Cibona poured in 24 in a losing effort. Another player who helped his team keep hoping in Group G, Kostas Tsartsaris of Panathinaikos, completed the top individual performances for Week 5 with a 24 index rating based on his 14 points and 9 rebounds in a road win at Efes PIlsen. Among individual statistics leaders after five Top 16 games, Penn now has the highest average index rating, with 26.2 per game. He is also the top scorer with a five-game average of 22.6 points. Likewise, Mike Batiste of Panathinaikos continues to lead all rebounders with 11.6 per night, and Pablo Prigioni of Tau is still the best passer, with 6.4 assists on average. Meanwhile, Venson Hamilton of Real Madrid is blocking more shots than anyone, 2.75 per game, and Andrea Bargnani of Benetton making more steals, 2.6 per game.
