Patrick Beverley and Jonas Valanciunas receive Eurocup top honors
Patrick Beverley, leader of St. Petersburg's Spartak, received the top award. The 23 year old took the MVP award after averaging 13.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 16 games.
19 year old Jonas Valanciunas, the Lithuanian from Lietuvos Rytas, was awarded with the Rising Star award. The 5th pick in last year's NBA Draft averaged 10.8 points and 7.6 rebounds, also, in 16 matches.
