MIES (Switzerland) - Third week of the Round of 16 in the 2024-25 Basketball Champions League season is in the books, and now that we've digested Tuesday's and Wednesday's action, Thursday brings us a chance to reflect on the best individual performances.
The 15th Team of the Week this season consists of Hunter Hale (AEK Betsson BC), David Kramer (La Laguna Tenerife), Melvin Ejim (Unicaja), Justin Gorham (Bertram Derthona Basket) and Fabian White Jr (Manisa Basket Divissa).
Hale tied the BCL all-time record for most made free throws in a single game, and his decision making led AEK to a win over FIT/One Wurzburg Baskets, and a 4-0 record which pushed them straight to the Quarter-Finals.
Kramer did what he usually does, knocking down seven three-pointers to fuel La Laguna Tenerife's comeback against Pallacanestro Reggiana in Italy.
Ejim showed once again how valuable he is for Unicaja, saving the day with points, rebounds and defense as Galatasaray came close to winning on the road in Spain.
Gorham set his new BCL career-high in steals, while also leading Bertram Derthona Tortona in points scored on the road at Promitheas Patras BC Vikos Cola.
Finally, the middle belongs to Fabian White Jr, who has been in superb form for Manisa Basket Divissa recently, including a monster game against Rytas Vilnius.
You can now vote for the Player of the Week. The winner will be announced on Friday, when the poll closes, on the official BCL social media channels: Facebook, X (Twitter) and Instagram.
