French guards Nadir Hifi and Sylvain Francisco have demonstrated their exceptional clutch abilities this EuroLeague season, securing spots on the podium for scoring in fourth quarters and overtime. They trail only the reigning MVP, Kendrick Nunn, in this critical metric, as highlighted by advanced statistics from BasketNews.
This impressive ranking underscores the significant impact both point guards have had for their respective teams this season. Hifi has emerged as the technical leader for Paris Basketball, consistently stepping up in crucial moments despite the team’s overall record. Meanwhile, Francisco, often referred to as ‘Cisco,’ has elevated his game to such an extent that he is considered a contender for EuroLeague MVP, carrying Zalgiris Kaunas on his shoulders.
Adding to the French success, Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot also features prominently in the top 10, ranking sixth. He is closely followed by Glynn Watson Jr. from Villeurbanne.
