MUNICH (Germany) - We're heading into the EuroLeague Women post-season and that means it's coming up to the last leg of an exciting roller-coaster race to be crowned MVP.
Here's the updated top 10 featuring all the climbers, fallers and new entrants who are bidding to land the prestigious individual honor at this year's Season Awards ceremony.
1. Gabby Williams - Fenerbahce Opet (+1)
Forward
Average Stats: 19.6 EFF; 13.3 PPG; 5.2 RPG; 4.1 APG; 2.7 SPG
The French forward enjoys a first elevation to pole position in the race and it's in response to Williams really turning up the noise as Fenerbahce roll on unbeaten. Her energy and quality at both ends of the court is arguably becoming the key driver in their flawless campaign. Now we are entering season crunch time, her impact on games is only likely to increase further and she has a great chance of taking the MVP award.
2. Emma Meesseman - Fenerbahce Opet (-1)
Forward
Average Stats: 22.9 EFF; 16.9 PPG; 6.1 RPG; 4.5 APG
It's a tough to dislodge the 2023-24 winner from top spot, since you would not back against Meesseman retaining her crown. She is in a neck and neck race in her own locker room with her teammate, but they'll only be focused on delivering Fenerbahce another title. The influence of Meesseman remains powerful and her numbers evidence this across all categories. But it is in the biggest clutch moments when her class really shines through.
3. Iliana Rupert - CIMSA CBK Mersin (-)
Center
Average Stats: 21.6 EFF; 16.5 PPG; 8.0 RPG; 2.7 APG
This is turning into a best-ever EuroLeague Women season for Rupert who has been a phenomenal presence for Mersin and is only getting stronger. If they want to realize their dreams of capturing a first ever piece of silverware in the competition, then surely it is the French center who will lead them there. Her efficiency in particular has been exceptional and she is becoming such a handful for opposing defenses now.
4. Dorka Juhasz - Beretta Famila Schio (new)
Center
Average Stats: 16.6 EFF; 9.7 PPG; 8.9 RPG; 2.0 APG
The MVP for January, the uptick in production for Juhasz has coincided with a brilliant 2025 for Schio who are one of the form teams heading into the Semi-Final Play-Ins. After a quiet start to the campaign, the Hungarian center has put in some towering displays and is closing in on a season double-double. Her entry into the chart reflects how she is enjoying this white-hot run of form and coming up on the rails in the MVP race.
5. Janelle Salaun - Beretta Famila Schio (+1)
Forward
Average Stats: 15.3 EFF; 14.8 PPG; 6.1 RPG; 2.4 APG
The fact there are two players from Schio in the top five shows how well the Italian side has been doing and is also reflective of what has become a devastating one-two punch in many ways. Salaun started off on fire this season, had a slight drop-off and is now catching fire again. Her mobility, skills and ability to impact just about every game is gold for her team and her partnership with Juhasz is pivotal.
6. Brionna Jones - ZVVZ USK Praha (+1)
Center
Average Stats: 20.0 EFF; 15.5 PPG; 9.3 RPG
7. Natasha Howard - CIMSA CBK Mersin (-2)
Forward
Average Stats: 20.1 EFF; 18.1 PPG; 7.0 RPG
8. Mariona Ortiz - Casademont Zaragoza (-)
Guard
Average Stats: 11.2 EFF; 6.8 PPG; 5.6 APG; 5.3 RPG; 2.3 SPG
