The 2025–26 All-EuroLeague First Team has been officially announced, recognizing five players who defined the regular season through production, efficiency and team impact.
The selection process combined votes from head coaches (35%), team captains (35%), media (20%) and fans (10%), creating a balanced evaluation of performance across the league.
Sasha Vezenkov headlines the group after leading Olympiacos Piraeus to the best regular-season record at 26–12.
The forward averaged 19.4 points per game to secure the Alphonso Ford Top Scorer Trophy while posting a league-high 23.1 performance index rating.
Vezenkov recorded double figures in all but one of his 34 appearances and produced 20 or more points 19 times, reinforcing his role as the focal point of Olympiacos’s half-court offense.
Nikola Milutinov joined his teammate on the First Team after anchoring the interior with elite efficiency and rebounding.
The center led the league with 7.1 rebounds per game and 3.1 offensive boards while shooting 69.2% on two-point attempts, creating second-chance opportunities that fueled Olympiacos’s offensive structure.
Milutinov also ranked third in PIR at 20.1, highlighting his two-way impact in both rim protection and possession control.
Elijah Bryant earned his first selection after carrying Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv during its debut campaign.
Bryant averaged 15.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists while finishing second in the league in PIR, establishing himself as one of the most consistent all-around contributors.
His importance was reflected in team results, with Hapoel winless in the four games he missed due to injury.
Sylvain Francisco secured a First Team spot following a breakout season with Zalgiris Kaunas.
Francisco averaged 16.7 points and 6.4 assists, ranking among league leaders in both categories while tying for the most three-pointers made with 103.
His shot creation and pick-and-roll execution positioned him as the primary engine of Zalgiris’s offense, which finished fifth in the standings at 23–15.
Jean Montero rounded out the lineup after leading Valencia Basket to a 25–13 record, the second-best mark in the league.
Montero combined scoring and playmaking efficiency, producing a 3.6 assist-to-turnover ratio while ranking among the leaders in PIR per minute.
His ability to create advantages in isolation and facilitate from the perimeter played a central role in Valencia’s offensive balance.
Three of the five selections—Bryant, Francisco and Montero—earned their first First Team honors, reflecting a shift toward emerging stars alongside established production.
