Carlos Arroyo
If you are looking for hard proof on the importance of clutch players, look no further than the final minutes of the clash between Puerto Rico and Latvia, where the veteran point guard put together a succession of game-defining plays.
Bogdan Bogdanovic
Once again at this OQT the Serbian winger got the hot hand right from tip-off and poured in 21 points, got eight rebounds and added three assists for an efficiency rating of 26.
Nikola Jokic
Another game, another chance for the young center to make the Top-5 and for the second time at this OQT, Jokic shared the highest efficiency rating of the day with his team-mate Bogdnanovic.
Tomas Satoransky
The Czech point guard was inspired in the semi-final and collected 14 points, seven assists and seven rebounds but it was not enough to prevent the loss of his team to the hosts.
Anzejs Pasecniks
The up-and-coming big man came of the bench and gave Latvia an edge under the rim against Puerto Rico, finishing with a near double-double of 12 points and nine rebounds in defeat.
