Our team’s guard Nando De Colo named to the All-EuroLeague First Team for the third year in a row after the voting by fans and accredited media members. He is accompanied by Nick Calathes of Panathinaikos Athens, Luka Doncic of Real Madrid, Tornike Shengelia of Baskonia Vitoria Gasteiz and Jan Vesely of Fenerbahce Istanbul.
The bar remained high for former EuroLeague MVP and Alphonso Ford Top Scorer Trophy winner Nando De Colo this season. The star guard once again delivered consistent excellence, just like his team, CSKA. In helping the Russian powerhouse reach the Final Four for the 15th time in the last 16 years, De Colo netted 508 points and became the first player to score 500 points or more in three different seasons; no other player has done it more than once. De Colo ranks third among qualified EuroLeague players this season in average performance index rating (19.8 per game) and second in scoring (16.9 ppg.). He reached double figures in points in all but four of his 30 games played. De Colo, the EuroLeague career-leader in free throw accuracy, ranked fourth this season in that category (94.6%) and was also fourth in three-point accuracy (51.5%) after making a career-high 53 triples. He was third among EuroLeague guards in two-point shooting (58.7%) for his third consecutive season in the exclusive 50-40-90 club (50% field goal shooting, 40% three-point shooting, 90% free throw shooting). Apart from being highly efficient offensively, De Colo also placed third in the competition with 1.3 steals per game. This marks De Colo’s fourth consecutive All-EuroLeague selection – there have been just four players ever with more – and third in a row on the first team.
