Sergio Rodriguez named to All-EuroLeague Second Team!

Our team’s guard Sergio Rodriguez named to the All-EuroLeague Second Team after the voting by fans and accredited media members.

In his first season back in the EuroLeague, Rodriguez set career bests in scoring and three-pointers made en route to his second All-EuroLeague selection. Rodriguez was named EuroLeague MVP and to the All-EuroLeague First Team with Real Madrid in the 2013-14 season and his production this season is similar to what he recorded then. Rodriguez earned MVP of the round honors for the first time in his career when he posted career-highs of 26 points and a PIR of 36 in CSKA’s win against Khimki Moscow Region in Playoffs Game 2. His PIR was the best in a playoff game this decade and his point total was the highest for a winning player in a non-overtime playoff game since 2010. Rodriguez stepped up when his backcourt partner and star guard Nando De Colo bowed out of the playoffs due to injury and led CSKA to the Final Four by ranking second in the playoffs in scoring (19.3 ppg.) and PIR (22.8) and third in assists (6.5 apg.). For the season, Rodriguez posted career-highs in scoring (14.1 ppg.) and his total of 90 three-point shots made is the second highest ever. He delivered excellent shooting percentages from all distances (59.1% 2FG, 44.6% 3FG, 89.7% FT), too. The playmaker also ranked ninth in the competition in assists (5.0 apg.). At age 31, Rodriguez is at the prime of his career and proving it on the court.

Paulius Jankunas and Kevin Pangos of Zalgiris Kaunas, Alexey Shved of Khimki Moscow Region and Vassilis Spanoulis of Olympiacos Piraeus also have been named to the All-EuroLeague Second Team.
