Who is the biggest revelation in the Basketball Champions League?

Basketball Champions League teams have had established stars and veterans win them games, but lesser known talents have also emerged to help make the difference between victory and defeat. Which player so far has been the competition's biggest revelation?

Nick Minnerath, Avtodor Saratov

The versatile forward is a showstopper with his high-flying theatrics on fast breaks but perhaps more than anything else has been his understanding of how best to attack the Russian club's opponents. He can post up smaller defenders and go outside and stroke 3-balls against taller, less mobile bigs. Averaging 21.5ppg, his 39-point explosion in a 98-74 triumph at Maccabi Rand Media on Gameday 5 is the stuff of legend in Saratov.

Gediminas Orelik, Banvit

In four of his team's six Basketball Champions League games, Orelik has been lights out from behind the arc. He has made 17 of 33 attempts from long range in six games and has three times connected on four or more. Orelik is averaging 15.2ppg and 6.2rpg.

Ognjen Jaramaz, Mega Leks

A standout in Serbia's youth national teams, including the one that captured the title at the 2015 U20 European Championship, the 21-year-old point guard is averaging 12.3ppg for Mega Leks.  

Vytautas Sulskis, Juventus Utena

Sulskis has been a key man for Group D leaders Juventus Utena

The 28-year-old small forward is one of those players that contributes in many areas of the game, which is exemplified by his across-the-boards statistics of 12.8ppg, 5.4rpg, 3.9apg and 1.6spg.
