The respective contributions of UNICS Kazan swingman John Holland and his AS Monaco counterpart Marcos Knight have gone a long way for each team this season. The two experienced players will get more chances to shine in the EuroCup Finals, which tip off with Game 1 in Monaco on April 27.
John Holland, UNICS Kazan
UNICS has plenty of offensive firepower, but that has not stopped Holland's consistent contribution throughout this campaign. At age 32 - and almost nine years removed from his competition debut - Holland has put together the best EuroCup campaign of his career. In his fourth EuroCup season, the UNICS swingman is averaging 10.5 points on 44% three-point shooting, along with 2.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists. Holland has knocked down 40 triples this season, which ranks third on the team and is tied for fifth in the competition this season. After overcoming some injury problems earlier in the season, he has started 10 of the team's last 12 games. Holland has also knocked down at least 1 triple in 13 consecutive games; he shot 7-for-16 in the quarterfinals and then 7-for-15 in the semifinals. Holland enters the EuroCup Finals with a hot hand, which is a weapon that could give Monaco plenty of headaches.
