The All-EuroCup Second Team has been officially announced, featuring Valencia duo Semi Ojeleye and Xabi Lopez-Arostegui, along with Anthony Brown, Devin Robinson, and Zavier Simpson.
Following the earlier reveal of the All-EuroCup First Team, the EuroCup has now announced the competition’s Second Team for the 2024–25 season.
The All-EuroCup Second Team features a strong duo from Valencia Basket—Semi Ojeleye and Xabi Lopez-Arostegui—alongside U-BT Cluj-Napoca guard Zavier Simpson, Turk Telekom Ankara's scoring threat Anthony Brown, and Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana forward Devin Robinson.
An ever-present for Valencia this season, Semi Ojeleye has earned All-EuroCup Second Team honors in his rookie season in the competition.
Ojeleye was a key contributor as the Spanish side swept aside teams at will en route to the EuroCup Semifinals, going 17-2 to that point. He was the second leading scorer with 11.4 points per game for a Valencia offense that posted 96.4 points per night, the second-highest average in competition history.
Mr. Do It All for Valencia has made it to the All-EuroCup Second Team for the first time in his four-season EuroCup career.
Xabi Lopez-Arostegui’s 13.8 PIR average was the second highest on the team and is a good indicator of the positive – and consistent – way in which he affected games for his side. He was one of five Valencia to average double digits in scoring (10.4 ppg.), while he was also third on the team in rebounds (3.8 rpg.).
The playmaking mastery, crafty scoring and defensive tenacity of Zavier Simpson made him a delight to watch in his first EuroCup season.
As Cluj's floor general, Simpson consistently demonstrated an exceptional ability to control the tempo of the game, finding teammates in perfect scoring positions while also scoring efficiently himself. He led the EuroCup in assists (8.0 apg.), ranked second in scoring (17.8 ppg.) and third in PIR (20.9).
Anthony Brown’s well-rounded skillset and scoring proficiency saw him named to the All-EuroCup Second Team for the second time in his career. Best known for his smooth shooting stroke, Brown led the EuroCup in three-pointers made, converting 2.7 per contest, while shooting a remarkable 45.8% from deep.
He ranked third in the competition with 17.8 points per game. Brown consistently delivered clutch performances that propelled his team to success. His 39 points and PIR of 45 against Cluj were both season highs in the EuroCup.
A highlight-reel regular who often changed the momentum of the games, Cedevita Olimpija power forward Devin Robinson has earned his place in the All-EuroCup Second Team.
Few big men have been as consistent this season as Robinson, who ranked 10th this season with 14.9 points per game, scoring in double figures in 17 of his 20 appearances, and in 11 of those he posted at least 15 points. Meanwhile, Robinson was coming up big on the boards, too. He posted a team-high 5.9 rebounds and had 13 games in which he pulled down at least 5 rebounds.
