This Wednesday, the date of the announcement of the election of Facundo Campazzo (Real Madrid) as MVP (best player) of the Endesa League 2023-24, it was also known which player took that same distinction in the Italian Lega. The award went to the veteran Marco Belinelli, although in the case of the Virtus Bologna guard with an important peculiarity.
And the 38-year-old player has been proclaimed MVP despite finishing in a discreet 50th position on the list of players with the highest rating in the Lega. Belinelli finished with an average rating of 11.3, light years away from Niccolo Mannion (Varese), who topped that classification by finishing with an average of 21.6.
Belinelli finished the regular phase of the Lega with averages of 13.9 points (52.6% on two-pointers, 41.2% on three-pointers and 90.9% on free throws), 2.1 assists, and 1, 4 rebounds in 20.6 minutes.
The award is decided by a panel made up of general managers, coaches and players, as well as journalists and fans. Belinelli took 14.7% of the votes, ahead of Rayjon Tucker (Umana Reyer Venezia, 11.4% of the votes) and his teammate Tornike Shengelia (Virtus Segafredo Bologna, 10.3%).
