BC Rivne forward Kran Morris (CJ) Williamson was recognized as the MVP of the 12th game week in the FAVBET Super League-2024/25 , which took place from March 26-27 in Dnipro and Cherkassy.
The American, who only joined the Rivne team in February, became a laureate for the second time in a row. In the final two matches of the regular championship, BC Rivne celebrated victories over Kryvbas (87:83) and Cherkassy Monkeys (81:67).
Williamson was the undisputed hero of the first game (32 points, 10 rebounds, 5 steals), where his team staged an impressive comeback in the last quarter. CJ was less productive, but still useful on Thursday, when his team won the bronze medal in the regular season in a direct confrontation with a competitor.
Williamson's total result for this week is 49 points and 17 rebounds, with an average efficiency rating of 27.5. In mid-March, we recall, he became the first legionnaire to win the title of MVP of the week in the current season of the FAVBET Super League, and the second representative of BC Rivne – after Alexey Solovyov.
The symbolic team of the past round was also determined.
