Real Madrid was the been the highest-scoring team in the Turkish Airlines Euroleague Regular Season and one of the main reasons for that has been starting point guard Sergio Rodriguez, whose court vision and dynamism helped the Whites win Group C in style.

The player that finished the  Regular Season the hottest was Montepaschi Siena shooting guard Pietro Aradori. Once considered one of Italy’s best prospects, Aradori’s shine had faded somewhat in recent years. However after he led a late comeback in Week 9 to hand FC Barcelona Regal its only loss of the regular season and followed that up by becoming the Week 10 bwin MVP, the spotlight is one again on the talented scorer.

Unicaja is back in the Top 16 for the seventh consecutive season and it can thank Luka Zoric for part of that. Zoric has been one of Unicaja’s most pleasant surprises this season with his consist and aggressive play in his first Euroleague season. Zoric is a modern power forward with size, athleticism and a high basketball IQ, who has perfectly complemented Unicaja’s star center Joel Freeland around the baskets. MORE
Gescrap BB managed to get to the Top 16 in come-from-behind fashion and one of its main pillars that cannot be overlooked is center D'or Fischer, whose defensive skills and ability to step up was critical for the Euroleague newcomer. Fischer arrived in Bilbao ready to take on a very important role by becoming his team's defensive anchor, but also offering mid-range shooting and high-powered slams on offense. MORE
