Miro Bilan has been named the Most Valuable Player for Round 7 of the 2026–27 BKT EuroCup Regular Season.
In the final Round 7 matchup, the 37-year-old Croatian center led Maxima Roma to a road victory over the Skyliners with a performance index rating of 34, which was the highest among all players in action across Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
Euroleague Basketball officially confirmed the MVP award recipient on Friday.
Per the press release: “In the final game of Round 7, Maxima Roma center Miro Bilan produced the finest game of his six seasons in the EuroCup to earn honors as the MVP of Round 7. Bilan stood tall in his team’s 89-113 road rout of Skyliners Frankfurt with 17 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals for a performance index rating of 34, which was the highest of all players in Round 7.
The rebounds, assists and PIR were all career highs for Bilan, who made 7 of 11 shots from the field and 3 of 4 free throws. An All-EuroCup Second Team selection in the 2018-19 season, the 37-year-old center also made history by becoming the first Maxima player to earn a EuroCup weekly honor.
Dani Diez of Recoletas Salud San Pablo Burgos posted the round’s second-highest PIR with a career-best 30 in an 88-80 road loss to Le Mans Sarthe Basket. Diez scored a career-high 18 points on 2-of-4 two-point shooting, 3-of-5 on three-pointers and 5-of-6 free throws, and added a career-high 12 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 4 fouls drawn.
Urban Kroflic didn’t miss a shot from the field as he posted a PIR of 27 in just his sixth EuroCup game. The 20-year-old scored a personal-best 18 points as Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana cruised to a 71-88 win at Rostock Seawolves. Kroflic also tallied 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 4 fouls drawn without committing a turnover.
Rounding out the top performers were Terrell Carter of Tofas Bursa, Jerrick Harding of Turk Telekom Ankara and Judah Mintz of Skyliners.
