Round 3 MVP: Tornike Shengelia

Shengelia's performance index rating of 37 tied his career high after 187 EuroLeague games, and his 33 points and 10 two-pointers made were personal bests, too. He made 10 of his 16 two-point attempts, 2 of 4 three-pointers and 7 of 11 free throws while drawing 7 fouls and collecting 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.

This is the sixth MVP of the Round honor of Shengelia's career. He's the first player to win back-to-back honors since Shane Larkin of Anadolu Efes Istanbul did it an unprecedented four times in a row in January of 2020.

Mike James of AS Monaco followed with a PIR of 34 despite his team losing at Real Madrid, 94-86. James combined 24 points with 10 assists, 3 rebounds and 3 steals. Maodo Lo of ALBA Berlin was next with a PIR of 27 based on his 21 points, 5 assists, 2 rebounds and 2 steals in an 84-70 home win over Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul. Wrapping up the list of Round 3 top performers were two players from that same game, Fenerbahce guard Nando De Colo and ALBA forward Oscar Da Silva, each with PIRs of 26. In only his second appearance in the competition, Da Silva posted 22 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals, while De Colo had 15 points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals.
