MIES (Switzerland) - Second week of the Play-Ins in the 2024-25 Basketball Champions League season is now 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 12th Team of the Week this season consists of Cassius Winston, Saben Lee, Dakarai Tucker, Desi Rodriguez and Amin Stevens.
Winston had a huge double-double to lead Pallacanestro Reggiana to a sweep over the 2023 Basketball Champions League winners Telekom Baskets Bonn, booking Reggiana's first trip to the sweet 16.
Lee continued his dominance, and he was right on his season average for points to take Manisa Basket through with a 2-0 series win over NINERS Chemnitz. Lee has led the BCL in scoring since the start of the season.
Tucker had his BCL season-high with 20 points, and in a low-scoring affair against Aliaga Petkimspor, those 20 were crucial for Hapoel Netanel Holon.
Rodriguez had a strong defensive game with 5 steals, and his offensive production never was in question for Nanterre 92, as they defeated Filou Oostende in Belgium.
Stevens was big for Maccabi Ramat-Gan again, his consistency bringing the Israeli club to within a game of the Round of 16. They are up against Falco-Vulcano Szombathely in Hungary in a do-or-die matchup next week.
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.
