Dogus Ozdemiroglu led his team to the win and also got the MVP of the week award in the BKT EuroCup.

Per the press release: “Turk Telekom Ankara playmaker Dogus Ozdemiroglu was at his best this week in his team’s 98-78 win over visiting Skyliners Frankfurt. The 30-year-old guard flirted with a triple-double in a performance that earned him MVP of the Round honors for the first time in his career.

Ozdemiroglu set career highs in performance index rating (28), assists (12) and minutes played (34:36) in the Wednesday game. He also scored 13 points, making 4-of-9 two-point shots, 1-of-3 three-pointers and 2-of-2 free throws, while collecting 8 rebounds, 2 steals and drawing 6 fouls. He was +27 in the plus-minus column, the highest of any player in Round 6.

Ozdemiroglu’s achievement came in his fourth BKT EuroCup season, his second with Turk Telekom, and in his 58th appearance in the competition. He is the first Turk Telekom player to earn MVP of the Round honors since Kyle Allman in last season’s quarterfinals.

Ozdemiroglu’s PIR tally was tied with Erik Stevenson of Roma Basketball for the highest in Round 6. Stevenson’s, however, came in a 113-111 loss at PAOK Thessaloniki, a game in which he scored 16 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, dished 6 assists and collected 1 steal.

Xavier Moon of Maxima Roma and Shake Milton of Hapoel Midtown Jerusalem were just behind, each with a PIR of 27. Moon had 25 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals in Maxima’s 86-84 win over the London Lions, while Milton tallied 19 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals in an 84-73 win over Aris Thessaloniki.

Rounding out the list of Round 6’s top performers, each with PIRs of 26, were Tyler Cavanaugh of Bahcesehir College Istanbul, Javante McCoy of Balkan Botevgrad and Giorgi Shermadini of La Laguna Tenerife.

Individual highs: Mike Caffey of Siauliai Basketball, 15 assists

Breein Tyree of PAOK and Balkan’s McCoy led all scorers in Round 6 with 27 points apiece. PAOK’s Cedi Osman is this season’s EuroCup scoring leader with 22.2 points per game.

Bahcesehir’s Trevion Williams collected a round-high 13 rebounds and is second on the charts with 8.2 boards per game. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl of Aris leads the competition in rebounding with 9.5 per game.

Mike Caffey of Siauliai Basketball led all players with 15 assists, 1 shy of the EuroCup single-game record. Otis Livingston of U-BT Cluj-Napoca tops the 2026-27 regular-season charts with 7.8 per game.

Three players had 4 steals in Round 6: John Petrucelli of Napoli, Mateusz Ponitka of Bahcesehir and Bastien Grasshoff of Le Mans Sarthe Basket. Ozdemiroglu tops the EuroCup steals charts with 2.8 per contest.
