Jaka Blažič is the MVP of the month in the ABA League

For the second time in the 2020/21 season, Jaka Blažič was chosen by the ABA League as the Most Valuable Player of the month in the regional competition.

In the first month of the calendar year 2021, the captain of Cedevita Olimpija, Jaka Blažič, shone straight. The Dragons stepped on the regional floor five times in January and recorded five victories. He exceeded the limit of 20 points three times, and twice his valorisation index was at least 30.

He showed his best performance in the ABA League in the backlog of the fifth round with Budućnost VOLI, and at that time he recorded 28 points, two rebounds and one assist. In the 17th round of the ABA League in Saturday’s clash with Partizan NIS, he stopped with 28 points, five rebounds and three assists.

For Blažič, this is the second such award in the regional competition in the 2020/21 competition season. He was chosen as the most useful player of the month last November.

The recognition by the ABA League is not the only one that Blažič put in his pocket in January. In the third round of the 7DAYS EuroCup, the Dragons captain was also chosen as the most useful player of the week, after he scored 30 points in Stožice JL Bourg, scoring five of eight throws for three points, and nine of ten free throws. 30 points scored and a valorisation index of 41 is the highest statistical effect among all basketball players that can be monitored in the fights of the top 16 teams of the European Cup.

On Wednesday at 21.00, Cedevita Olimpija in the French city of Bourg-en-Bresse will face the fourth round of the 7DAYS EuroCup against JL Bourg.
