BOURGES (France) - There was double delight for 20-year-old center Iliana Rupert after the French ace added to her EuroCup Women winners medal with Tango Bourges by collecting the Final Four MVP trophy.
Influential in both the thrilling 69-67 Semi-Final win against Galatasaray and the fantastic 74-38 Final success against Umana Reyer, Rupert averaged 17 points, 8 rebounds and 2.5 steals for her team during the Final Four.
With Bourges missing a huge amount of experience inside the paint without Isabelle Yacoubou and Endene Miyem, it was a perfect time for Rupert to shine.
Her performances also highlighted why she's one of the most exciting young players in the world. Not only helping Bourges secure their second EuroCup Women title, but also putting a smile on the faces of French national team fans who can look forward to her being a standout in the paint for a long time to come.
