For the first time ever, James White of Cedevita became the MVP of the round in the ABA League, and he claimed the honour by leading his team to an important victory in Stožice Arena against Union Olimpija.
James White had an excellent night on Sunday, when his Cedevita outscored Union Olimpija on the road in Ljubljana. The American spent on court 37 minutes, scored 19 points, grabbed 6 rebounds, while dishing out 2 assists. Among all players that have celebrated victories in the 23rd round, his valuation of 26 is the highest one, which gives him the MVP of the round award.
This is the first ever MVP of the round award for James White in the ABA League and sixth for Cedevita players, as Miro Bilan claimed it five times before.
It is worth mentioning, that there were in fact three players, that were better than White in terms of individual valuation this time around. Zack Wright of Union Olimpija achieved the valuation of 34, Ive Ivanov of Krka 31 and Ante Žižić of Cibona 29. However, none of them managed to take the two points this round with their teams, so the MVP is White.
