Marco Spissu, Point Guard

The 24-year-old Italian playmaker is known for his passing and pace-setting skills but on Tuesday he showed another facet of his game, as he scored 22 points in Sassari’s 113-95 win at Polski Cukier Torun, without even a single free-throw.

Spissu got the hot hand from long range and finished with a season-best 6 of 7 three-point shooting, but he didn’t overlook his organizing duties and dished out 8 assists.

The surprising part, however, is that the 184cm (6ft) point guard also came up with 7 rebounds, to round up a performance that registered an efficiency rating of 34.

Jason Rich, Shooting Guard

The veteran American showed in his debut with Gaziantep on Gameday 3 that he was an excellent late addition to the Turkish team’s roster but on Tuesday he went one step further, by inspiring his new team to an unlikely comeback 85-81 win at VEF Riga.

Rich shot 3 of 6 from beyond the arc and 5 of 8 from two-point range to collect 25 points in 29 minutes on the court, also adding 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 rebounds.

The Gaziantep guard registered an efficiency rating of 27 in Riga, identical to that of his BCL career high which interestingly also came at a road game, when he led Besiktas to a 69-64 win at Strasbourg last January.
