Dogus Ozdemiroglu, do Turk Telekom Ankara, teve a melhor semana de sua carreira na EuroCup e foi eleito MVP da rodada pela primeira vez.
Ele terminou com 13 pontos, 12 assistências e oito rebotes na vitória por 98 a 78 sobre o Skyliners Frankfurt, em casa, chegando perto do triplo-duplo. Seus 28 de PIR, as 12 assistências e os 34:36 em quadra foram recordes pessoais no jogo de quarta-feira, e ele converteu 4 de 9 nos arremessos de dois, 1 de 3 nos de três e 2 de 2 nos lances livres, além de duas roubadas de bola, seis faltas sofridas e um +27 — o melhor mais/menos da Rodada 6.
A honraria chegou em sua quarta temporada na EuroCup, a segunda no Turk Telekom e em seu 58º jogo na competição. Nenhum jogador do Turk Telekom havia ganhado o prêmio desde Kyle Allman, nas quartas de final da temporada passada.
“O armador Dogus Ozdemiroglu, do Turk Telekom Ankara, esteve no seu melhor nesta semana, na vitória de sua equipe por 98 a 78 sobre o Skyliners Frankfurt, em casa”, disse o comunicado da competição.

Xavier Moon, do Maxima Roma, e Shake Milton, do Hapoel Midtown Jerusalem, vieram em seguida, com 27. Moon fez 25 pontos, quatro rebotes, quatro assistências e duas roubadas na vitória por 86 a 84 sobre o London Lions, enquanto Milton teve 19 pontos, três rebotes, três assistências e duas roubadas no 84 a 73 sobre o Aris Thessaloniki. Tyler Cavanaugh (Bahcesehir College Istanbul), Javante McCoy (Balkan Botevgrad) e Giorgi Shermadini (La Laguna Tenerife) completaram os destaques, com 26.
Breein Tyree e McCoy dividiram a liderança de pontuação da Rodada 6, com 27 pontos cada, enquanto Cedi Osman lidera as médias da temporada, com 22,2 por jogo. Trevion Williams pegou 13 rebotes, recorde da rodada, e é o segundo nas médias, com 8,2; Jeremiah Robinson-Earl lidera os rebotes, com 9,5. Mike Caffey distribuiu 15 assistências, uma a menos que o recorde de um jogo, e Otis Livingston lidera a temporada, com 7,8.
