Who was the best of the best from the Second Round?

MUNICH (Germany) - We have reached another checkpoint in the FIBA Europe Cup season with the conclusion of the Second Round. Similarly to our post-Regular Season recap, it's time to reflect on the top performers from the Second Round after it brought more drama and entertainment ahead of the Play-Offs.

Efficiency: Jordan Morgan (Pinar Karsiyaka)

 Jordan Morgan was the standout player in the Second Round after producing dominant performance after dominant performance.

The displays earned a first call-up to Slovenia's National Team for the upcoming FIBA EuroBasket 2021 Qualifiers after recently receiving his passport.

Morgan posted three double-doubles in the Second Round with his final two outings resulting in 30+ efficiency ratings as a back-to-back Top Performer.

The chasing pack were led by Mangok Mathiang of Bahcesehir College with Ventspils' Klavs Cavars also impressing.
