Sasha Vezenkov of Olympiacos Piraeus has been named the EuroLeague MVP for the 2022-2023 season. The announcement came during the EuroLeague Final Four Tip Off event in Kaunas.
Vezenkov’s exceptional performances throughout the season set him apart from his peers. The Bulgarian forward led the league in Performance Index Rating (PIR) with an impressive average of 21.2 per game. He also topped the charts in scoring, averaging 17.2 points per game, showcasing his offensive prowess. Additionally, Vezenkov contributed 6.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game.
With his EuroLeague MVP accolade, Vezenkov further solidifies his status as one of the game’s brightest talents. His remarkable skills have not gone unnoticed, as he is strongly linked with the Sacramento Kings, who hold his NBA draft rights. It is anticipated that Vezenkov may make a move to the NBA this summer.
As Vezenkov’s EuroLeague journey continues, he and his Olympiacos teammates are set to face off against AS Monaco in the upcoming semi-final match. The victor of this highly anticipated showdown will secure a spot in the EuroLeague Final, where they will battle either Barcelona or Real Madrid for ultimate glory.
