The second week of action in the Turkish Airlines Euroleague
2012-2013 Regular Season has wrapped up. And in the first overtime game of the season,
CSKA prevailed over its competition as forward Sonny Weems showcased the best
performance out of any player in the league this past week.
Thus, Weems ends up with the MVP honors, thanks to his
career-best performance and fifth overall for any player that had suited up for
CSKA Moscow throughout the team’s stint in the Euroleague. Weems’ performance
came at the heel of a nailbiter road win for CSKA wherein the game closed out at
76-71. He put in 8 points during the final three minutes of play along with 6
crucial free throws that helped to secure the win for his team.
At the end of the game, Sonny Weems had registered a total
of 30 points with only 4 misses on the field. In addition, to his 30-point performance,
he also grabbed 3 rebounds, had 6 steals, and drew 6 fouls from the opposing
team. This helped to bring in a total of 38 points for his performance index
ranking on week 2 of Euroleague regular season.
Other contenders for the Euroleague Regular Season Week 2
MVP award were Anadolu Efes Istanbul’s Jordan Farmer (performance index rating
of 36) and Asseco Prokom Gdynia’s Lukasz Koszarek (performance index rating of
26).
Meanwhile, Jordan Farmar also led the league in assists during
the course of the Thursday and Friday games in the Euroleague. Farmar had 9
assists during their win against defending Euroleague champs, Olympiacos
Piraeus. When it comes to rebounds, Elan Chalon’s Shelden Williams was the
champ this week. He grabbed 13 rebounds, the highest this week, despite their
loss to Alba Berlin.
