At the match of the 1st round between Crvena zvezda mts and Mornar, Mathias Lessort achieved 22 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, just as many steals and a block and a valuation of 30 in only 26 minutes spent on court. Only Luka Žorić of Cibona had a higher valuation this round (34), but his team has lost the game in Sremska Mitrovica against Mega Bemax, while Damjan Stojanovski of MZT Skopje Aerodrom had the same index as Lessort, but collected it in more minutes spent on court than the Zvezda’s Frenchman.

Therefore, fact that Lessort did not use his quality just to rise on the top of the statistical categories, but also helped his team to beat Mornar in limited playing time, is what earned him the MVP of the round honours.

Take a look at some of the fancy plays made by Mathias Lessort during his performance against Mornar:

The other players that have marked the 1st round of the season with their individual performances are the top scorer Desmond Washington of Igokea (35 points), top rebounder Bojan Trajkovski of MZT Skopje Aerodrom (14 rebounds), top passer Nigel Williams-Goss of Partizan NIS (10 assists) and top ball thiefs Jordan Morgan and Jan Špan of Petrol Olimpija (4 steals each).
