Round 11 roll call: Openers, finishers and everything in between

These five players impressed enough to earn their place in the roll call after another intense week BKT EuroCup action.

Harrell made a difference on offense and defense

With Aris Midea Thessaloniki badly needing a win to snap its four-game losing streak, Ronnie Harrell stepped up on both ends of the floor, leading the team to a 69-60 victory over 7bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys on Tuesday. Harrell was the game's top scorer and one of Aris's three in double figures with 18 points, including 4 three-pointers. But Harrell also came up huge on the defensive end, picking up 5 steals and pulling down 4 defensive rebounds. Harrell was a big factor as Aris held Lietkabelis to a season-low 60 points while lowering its own league-leading points-against defense to 73.8 points per game.

Stipanovic was Cluj's tone-setter

U-BT Cluj-Napoca protected its home floor by holding off Slask Wroclaw 80-76 on Tuesday. Veteran big man Andrija Stipanovic had his best game of the season while tracing his team's path to victory. He scored 10 of his game-high 19 points in a game-opening 15-4 run that put Cluj firmly in control. Then, when Slask came all the way back and took the lead midway through the fourth quarter, he scored 2 more buckets in the final 95 seconds to help pull out the victory. Stipanovic made 9 of 11 two-point shots, one shy of his career high, as were his 19 points. The man who turns 37 years old next week helped Cluj improve to 8-3 record, and firmly position itself among those teams that will compete to host a playoff game.

Nunez had career game in defeating Gran Canaria

ratiopharm Ulm made noise by knocking off the unbeaten Dreamland Gran Canaria with an 103-99 overtime decision, and 19-year old Juan Nunez was front and center of Ulm's big win. During his 32:22 minutes on the floor, Nunez set new career highs with 17 points, 6 two-pointers made on 7 attempts, and a game-high PIR of 26. In a big win, Ulm playmaker also dished 6 assists. He scored 8 of his points, including 5 perfect free throws, in overtime. It was a career-best performance for a talented youngster as Ulm joined Cluj at 8-3 record in a share of third place in Group B.

Ulubay gave Turk Telekom boost off the bench

Turk Telekom Ankara, last year's EuroCup finalist, won back-to-back games for the first time this season, thrashing Buducnost VOLI Podgorica 73-96 on the road. Turk Telekom relied heavily on its starters, four of whom played more than 33 minutes and combined for a total of 72 points, but one big boost off the bench for the team from the Turkish capital came from Okben Ulubay. He had 15 points, while also collecting 3 assists, 2 steals, and not committing a single turnover. Ulubay tied his career-best with 3 triples made on 4 attempts and finished with a PIR of 19. All that in 18:23 minutes of action in key road win for last year's runners-up.

Sydorov made big impact for Prometey

Prometey Slobozhanske registered a big 89-70 win over Besiktas Emlakjet Istanbul, and a bit in a shadow of performances from Prometey's centers Ondrej Balvin and Tai Odiase was the impact of guard Illia Sydorov. Coming off the bench, Sydorov played a career-high 26:48 minutes and scored a season-high 14 points, having scored 6 points in a key 27-10 third quarter which Prometey ended with a 22-point margin. He was 3-for-6 on two-pointers and 2-for-3 from long range, while also posting 3 assists and 3 rebounds. Prometey was +29 when Sydorov was on the floor, the best plus/minus on the team.
