MIES (Switzerland) - The Quarter-Finals are completed, but before we switch our focus to the Final Four completely, it's time to honor the top performers of the elite eight phase.
Marcelinho Huertas (La Laguna Tenerife), Will Cummings (Galatasaray), Hunter Hale (AEK Betsson BC), Tyson Perez (Unicaja) and Giorgi Shermadini (La Laguna Tenerife) were named to the Team of the Quarter-Finals.
It was another sublime effort by Marcelinho Huertas, as his 21.0 points and 11.0 assists per game were just enough to protect La Laguna Tenerife's perfect record and earn them a 2-0 series win over Bertram Derthona Basket.
Will Cummings set his new BCL career-high with 33 points in a crucial game for Galatasaray, stealing home court advantage against ERA Nymburk in Czechia. He followed it up with 17 points to seal the deal at home.
Hunter Hale scored a total of 62 points in three games against Nanterre 92, knocking down 13 three-pointers to propel AEK Betsson BC to another Final Four appearance.
Tyson Perez was all about energy in his two appearances against Pallacanestro Reggiana, providing Unicaja with instant offense and defense. In just 24 minutes across two games, he picked up 23 efficiency points.
Finally, the man in the middle is Giorgi Shermadini. The Georgian legend had 42 points in two games against Derthona, hitting 17-of-20 from the field, with 14 total rebounds, playing his best basketball of the season for Tenerife.
The MVP of the Quarter-Finals will be announced on Saturday.
