Sasha Vezenkov headlines Episode 16 of the EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge Podcast, offering strategic tips and player picks as the hosts break down Tuesday roster traps, Round 23–24 takeaways, and a big Greek Final Four debate ahead of Round 25.


Fantasy Challenge Podcast: Tips from Sasha Vezenkov and hard questions heading into Round 25

Episode 16 of the EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge Podcast arrives ahead of a challenging Round 25 with one of everyone’s favorite guests. [Sasha Vezenkov](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/sasha-vezenkov/003469/), the 2022-23 MVP and current league leader in PIR, joins the show for his monthly “Sasha’s Corner” segment. The Olympiacos Piraeus star brings fantasy managers rare insight, sharing strategic advice and revealing some of his favorite players at every position.

Podcast co-hosts [Javier Gancedo](https://x.com/ganchetto) and [Frankie Sachs](https://x.com/MrEuroleague) of [EuroLeague.net](http://EuroLeague.net), and Sport 24's [Vasiliki Karamouza](https://x.com/karamouza_vas) also dive into the fallout from Rounds 23 and 24, breaking down the biggest winners, surprises, disappointments, and outright mystery cases of the double‑round week. One of Vasiliki’s preseason predictions even makes an unexpected return — and reminds everyone that not all forecasts age well.

The crew also tackles one of the most stressful parts of the upcoming round: setting rosters on Tuesday, *before* the [Paris Basketball vs. Real Madrid](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/game-center/2025-26/paris-basketball-real-madrid/E2025/241/) showdown. With injuries piling up on different rosters, they debate how fantasy managers can avoid being punished by early lock‑ins and lingering injury reports.

The hosts reveal their teams and discuss which coaches to use – with each of the three taking a different coach into Round 25. From safety picks to high‑risk swings, the debate uncovers what fantasy managers should consider when choosing perhaps the most overlooked spot in the lineup.

As always, the episode features the fan‑driven “Get Featured, Get Rewarded” segment, which this week includes a listener question that sparks a debate: Which Greek team is more likely to make the Final Four? And in one of the lighter moments of the show, listeners ask whether Javi bears a resemblance to a certain EuroLeague‑winning coach.

With MVP‑level insight from Vezenkov, lineup traps to avoid, and strong opinions all around, Episode 16 arms fantasy managers with everything they need to navigate a tricky Round 25.

Get set for a blockbuster double round in the EuroLeague and the EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge!

As always, the hosts reveal their lineups (no Vezenkov regrets this time!), react to listener feedback in the “Get Featured, Get Rewarded” segment, and drop sleeper gems to dominate the double week. If you’re chasing fantasy glory, this podcast is your cheat code!

Kevin Punter earns EuroLeague MVP of December after leading all scorers with 24.4 points per game and delivering a historic 43-point performance in Barcelona’s triple-overtime win over Baskonia.
Punter led all EuroLeague players in December with 24.4 points per game, shooting 55.1% on two-pointers, 46.9% from three-point range, and 92.0% at the foul line. He averaged 3.0 triples made, 3.4 assists, and 1.8 steals per game while ranking fifth in PIR (23.0) and fifth in average plus/minus (+9.8). 

Kevin Punter powers his way to EuroLeague MVP of December honors

[Kevin Punter](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/kevin-punter/009862/)’s spectacular scoring and clutch play have earned him the Euroleague Basketball MVP of the Month for December presented by Motorola. The [FC Barcelona](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/fc-barcelona/bar/) guard was the catalyst for his team’s 4-1 record during the month, combining efficiency, leadership, and one unforgettable performance.

Punter led all EuroLeague players in December with 24.4 points per game, shooting 55.1% on two-pointers, 46.9% from three-point range, and 92.0% at the foul line. He averaged 3.0 triples made, 3.4 assists, and 1.8 steals per game while ranking fifth in PIR (23.0) and fifth in average plus/minus (+9.8). Logging more than 32 minutes per contest, he was one of just seven players to average at least 30 minutes for the month.

"The stat of putting in the work every day, that nobody don’t see, that’s the biggest thing that sticks out to me," Punter told Olivia Harlan Dekker on the EuroLeague & Friends: MVP Talk podcast. "When you hit those numbers, you always just go back to what kind of work am I putting in every day."

His signature outing came in Round 17, when Punter authored a historic night in Barcelona’s triple-overtime thriller against Baskonia. He scored 43 points – becoming just the ninth player this century to surpass the 40-point mark in a EuroLeague game – and set a club record with 12 two-point field goals. Twenty-three of those points – alongside countless highlights – came in the 3 overtime periods to keep Barcelona alive and then wrest away the win. Punter finished 4-of-7 from deep and a perfect 7-of-7 from the free-throw line, adding 2 steals and posting a PIR of 40 to claim MVP of the Round honors.

"In the moment, when it’s so many overtimes, at least for me, you lose track of what overtime is it again, or what happened in what overtime," Punter said about the night when he scored 43 points, the fourth most in modern EuroLeague history.

He also explained what helped him drop more than half of those in three extra sessions: "It’s understanding it’s a long, long game. Your time is gonna come at some point. And keeping your mind in the game, keeping the aggressive mindset."

Punter’s consistency was evident throughout December. He opened the month with 14 points and 6 assists in a win at Crvena Zvezda, followed by 24 points in just 25 minutes against Olympiacos. He added 21 points and 4 assists in Paris and closed the month with 20 points and 2 steals in a hard-fought loss at Fenerbahce.

The MVP of the Month award is now in its 20th season. The winner is named by Euroleague Basketball based on his and his team’s performance during the month in question. The December award was based on the games played between Rounds 14 and 18. The cut-off point was Round 18 as Round 19 comes to a conclusion in January.

This is Punter’s second MVP of the Month award; his first also came with Barcelona in October 2024. He now joins Juan Carlos Navarro, Ante Tomic, and Nikola Mirotic as the only players to win multiple MVP of the Month honors with the club.

Barcelona’s strong December run has solidified its position among the league’s elite, and Punter’s scoring brilliance will remain central to its push as the regular season heads into its second half.

A month of brilliance capped by a 43-point explosion secures Punter’s second MVP of the Month award



Episode 3 of EuroLeague & Friends, featuring Deniz Aksoy, Vasiliki Karamouza, Giulia Cicchine, and Aleksandra Radivojevic, quickly turns into what derby conversations always become: an argument. 

EuroLeague & Friends: Ranking the EuroLeague's best derbies

Episode 3 of EuroLeague & Friends, featuring Deniz Aksoy, Vasiliki Karamouza, Giulia Cicchine, and Aleksandra Radivojevic, quickly turns into what derby conversations always become: an argument. 

The idea of ranking EuroLeague rivalries sounds simple until no one can agree on the criteria. History, tension, atmosphere, recent stakes – every derby checks different boxes, and the list starts to unravel almost as soon as it’s written.

The Serbian derby sits near the top by default, its latest chapter reinforcing why some games ignore form, standings, or logic altogether. Other rivalries push back in their own ways. Some are louder. Some feel heavier. Some don’t translate fully unless you’ve been inside the arena, where the noise, the pauses, and the momentum swings tell a different story than the broadcast ever could.

That disagreement is the point. The tier list isn’t about settling anything, but about why EuroLeague nights feel bigger than the game itself. A 43-point triple-overtime performance can happen, a coaching decision can flip a result, a last shot can define a season – but derbies live longer than all of it. They’re measured less by outcomes than by the people who leave knowing exactly where they were when it happened.

With Javier Gancedo and Frankie Sachs unavailable this week, Sport 24's Vasiliki Karamouza goes through the options with unlimited trades this week, but also looks back at Round 17, which brought total chaos to EuroLeague Fantasy Basketball. Kevin Punter was the one who stole the spotlight with a historic performance, exploding for massive fantasy points output in a triple-overtime thriller.

Vasiliki covers the biggest fantasy traps, injury updates, and late-game risks that managers must consider heading into Round 18 to help you make smarter, and safer, fantasy decisions.

Kenneth Faried storms to EuroLeague MVP of November honors

[Kenneth Faried](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/kenneth-faried/011284/)’s arrival at [Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/panathinaikos-aktor-athens/pan/) made an immediate impact, and his stellar play has earned him the EuroLeague Basketball MVP of the Month for November presented by Motorola. Signed on November 9, Faried wasted no time becoming a force for his team, helping the Greens to a 4-0 record during the month and a share of first place in the standings.

Faried averaged 13.5 points on 64.5% shooting, 7.5 rebounds – including 4.0 offensive boards – and 2.0 blocks per game in November. His relentless energy and athleticism were on full display as he ranked second in blocks and sixth in rebounds across the league for the month. Faried’s highlight-reel dunks and emphatic shot rejections energized Panathinaikos and its fans, signaling his return to elite form.

“I didn’t know what to expect, but the next thing I know I’m playing – I’m not just playing, I’m starting – and I’m contributing in a big way for the team,” Faried told Olivia Harlan Dekker on the EuroLeague & Friends: MVP Talk podcast. “The chemistry just seemed like it was there from day one. It felt like I’ve been here for years.”

The MVP of the Month award is now in its 20th season. The winner is named by Euroleague Basketball based on his and his team’s performance during the month in question. The November award was based on the games played between Rounds 9 and 13.

EuroLeague & Friends: MVP Talk with Kenneth Faried

Faried becomes the eighth Panathinaikos player to earn the award, joining a cast of stars that includes Jaka Lakovic (February 2005), Mike Batiste (November 2006), Ramunas Siskauskas (April 2007), Dimitris Diamantidis (December 2010, March-April 2012, April 2013), Chris Singleton (March 2017), Nick Calathes (March 2019) and Kendrick Nunn (April 2024, February 2025).

“Me and \[Coach Ataman\] first met on the court,” Faried said. “I came to the court for practice just being my bubbly self, happy and enjoying myself. I’m like, ‘Hey Coach, how you doing? Nice to meet you finally.’ And he said to me, ‘Woah, I just feel your energy instantly.’ We meshed right then and there.”

On November 2, Faried was playing in Taiwan when Panathinaikos center Omer Yurtseven suffered an injury, joining Richaun Holmes and Mathias Lessort on the sidelines. The Greens were reeling – having lost back-to-back games and three of the last four – and suddenly staring at a stretch without any proven centers.

Enter Faried. He joined the club a week later and practiced once with his new team before flying to France, where he made his debut against Paris Basketball in Round 10. It went better than anyone could have expected; Faried led the Greens to a 95-101 road win at Paris Basketball, where he posted 17 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 blocks.

He followed that up with 16 points and 8 rebounds in a statement victory at Real Madrid in Round 11. Faried then displayed his full array of skills in his first appearance in the Greek capital with 9 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 blocks in a blowout win over Dubai Basketball in Round 12, and closed the month with 12 points and 7 rebounds against Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade in Round 13.

“I’ve been Kenneth Faried ‘The Manimal’ in the NBA, superstar for my team; people came up to me and wanted pictures, wanted autographs,” Faried added. “But now it’s that feeling \[multiplied\] by 10 while being out here. I’m always willing to show the love back because they’re giving us the love, and they’re giving me the energy I need to compete every night.”

Since Faried’s arrival, Panathinaikos has surged to a 9-4 record, tied for the best in the EuroLeague at the end of November. His ability to dominate the paint and ignite fast breaks has made him a cornerstone of the Greens’ success and a player to watch as the season progresses.
