The five awards

Clutch Player of the Week
The player who delivered most in clutch time: points, shooting and points per possession in the last minutes of close games.
Sharpshooter of the Week
The most efficient and impactful scoring display of the round.
Playmaker of the Week
The player who created the most high-value chances for teammates: assists, turnovers and points created.
Paint Protector of the Week
The defender whose presence at the rim most lowered opponents' efficiency, comparing his minutes on and off the floor.
Performer of the Week
The player who most outperformed expectations: points above what his shot quality predicts (xPts), with on/off impact and box score.

How the winners are chosen

Our analysts choose the winners from the round's data. Clutch time and garbage time are defined as in our methodology, and expected points (xPts) come from our shot-quality model. These are Clutch Data's awards, not official EuroLeague awards.
