Amedeo Della Valle set a new personal record of points scored in an EuroLeague game, against Fenerbahce, with 15. Not only this: in the Euroleague, he has scored 32 points in less than 47 minutes on the court, 8.0 points over 11.42 minutes spent on the court. In the entire competition only six players have a better point-per-minute ratio than the Olimpia Milan guard. But that is not the only significant data that emerged off Friday’s game against Fenerbahce in which Olimpia interrupted a 10-game losing streak against the Turkish team.
Vlado Micov gave away seven assists, two less than his career-high of nine that dates back to when he was playing in Cantù. Micov had started the game at 396, four assists shy of 400. Now he has 403. Sergio Rodriguez’s 22 points are season-high in the EuroLeague. Meanwhile, he is now 11 assists shy of Milos Teodosic as the fourth place all-time. In the first four EuroLeague games he has always dished at least five assists. Instead, he missed the first free throw after 17 consecutive makes. Now he is also 11 points away from 2,500 in his career.
Kaleb Tarczewski has grabbed nine rebounds, a season-high that was one shy of his career-best of 10. In the first four games he has never conquered less than six rebounds and currently with 7.5 per game he ranks fourth overall. For the record, he and Arturas Gudaitis have played together for the first time since they are teammates. The couple was used for 7 minutes and 47 seconds.
