- All records and stats through Game 6 of Top-16.

1. Bobby Brown - Montepaschi Siena (5-1)

20.4 points and 5.4 assists in 32 minutes.

Montepaschi Siena has been the biggest success story of this season as the Italian champions remained one of two undefeated teams in first five games in Euroleague Top 16. Obviously, this wouldn't have happened without a dominating offensive power, Bobby Brown, who became an excellent replacement for Bo McCalebb.

The stats speak for themself as Brown leads the league in scoring (20.4 ppg.) and is third in assists (5.4) and fouls drawn (5.7). Moreover, Brown, who has already been drawing attention from NBA teams, finished in double figures in his last eight Euroleague games and even managed to break the Top 16 single-game scoring record with 41 points scored against Fenerbahce Ulker.

2. Viktor Khryapa - CSKA Moscow (4-2)

10.6 points (45% 3FG), 7.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.7 steals in 28 minutes.

Viktor Khryapa became a player for CSKA, stepping up to make sure the Russian team remained among Euroleague title contenders after the departure of Andrei Kirilenko. When CSKA needed it the most, Khryapa has improved all of his main statistical numbers this season. Compared to last season, his points average went from 8.2 to 10.6, rebounds from 4.0 to 7.1 and assists from 3.3 to 3.8.

This season Khryapa is no longer just a defensive contributor, as his versatility allows him to make a difference at both ends of the floor. Moreover, his game continues to grow as the 6-foot-8 big man averages 12.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists in the Top 16 stage. At this point, Khryapa, together with Vassilis Spanoulis, appears to be the one of very few players capable of outlasting Bobby Brown for the top spot.

3. Vassilis Spanoulis - Olympiacos (3-3)

16.1 points, 5.3 assists and 3.6 turnovers in 29 minutes.

Olympiacos, led by Vassilis Spanoulis, has been proving that their impressive run last season wasn't a fluke. The reigning champions finished the regular season with seven wins in a row and coming in second in group C. However, the sluggish start of Olympiacos in the Top 16 hurts Spanoulis' chances to win MVP award as the reds are just 3-3 after six games.

Similar to the last two seasons, Spanoulis has been very consistent and finished in single figures only once this year. Spanoulis is fourth in scoring in the Euroleague, averaging 16.1 points per game and also ranks fourth in assists with 5.3 per game as well. Spanoulis is also an undisputed leader in turnovers and soon should become an All-Time leader in this category.

4. Rudy Fernandez - Real Madrid (6-0)

13.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 26 minutes.

After failing to make it out of the Top 16 stage in 2011-12, Real needed a game changer, a player, who could bring Madrid team back to the top. As current results show, Rudy Fernandez fit that role perfectly.

Due to his athleticism, Fernandez is able to carry Real on his back when Madrid needs that and having a leader such Fernandez has helped his team remain undefeated in the Top 16 stage of the strongest European competition. Moreover, the well-balanced Real team is currently standing on the top of both Euroleague group A and Spanish championship league tables. Not without the help of Fernandez. 

5. Nenad Krstic - CSKA Moscow (4-2)

14.3 points and 4.2 rebounds in 24 minutes.

Nenad Krstic is arguably the most productive center on offense in the Euroleague as he ranks seventh in points per possession (1.3), eighth in scoring (14.6) and sixth in effective field goal percentage (0.665). Krstic is a big threat on offence for any Euroleague team and that is what helps him to be this high on Euroleague MVP ranking.

However, rebounding has been a well-known problem of Krstic for a long time. The 6-foot-10 center has been averaging only 4.2 rebounds per game this season and hasn't registered a single double-double in the Euroleague yet. In terms of all leagues, Krstic finish a game with a double-double only twice this season in 37 games he played so far. Krstic also hasn't grabbed more than seven rebounds in a single game in the 2012-13 Euroleague season.

6. Jordan Farmar - Anadolu Efes Istanbul (5-1)

13.6 points (45% 3FG), 3.5 rebounds and 4.4 assists in 29 minutes.

If our Euroleague MVP ranking would be based on the performance of first five games, Jordan Farmar undoubtedly would be on the top spot. Farmar averaged 22.6 Euroleague PIR (performance index ranking) points in over first five games, but in the next five, Anadolu Efes lost three out of five matches, while Farmar averaged only 4.4 PIR points during that stretch.

Eventually, while the other team from Istanbul, Fenerbahce Ulker, once again fails to meet the expectations, Farmar has helped Anadolu Efes to get back on winning track and win five games in a row in the Top 16 stage. The 26-year-old guard is again playing like an MVP, averaging 14.5 points, 3.5 rebound and 4.2 assists in six Top 16 games thus far.

7. Sonny Weems - CSKA Moscow (4-2)

14.8 points (44% 3FG) and 3.2 rebounds in 29 minutes.

Same as Jordan Farmar, at the very beginning of the season it seemed that Sonny Weems will be ranked no lower than Top 3 in our Euroleague MVP Ranking. However, Weems started to struggle in the Top 16 as the former member of the Toronto Raptors and Denver Nuggets has been averaging only 10.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2 assists per game during that stretch - not MVP worthy numbers.

While Weems was out of the rhythm, CSKA faced two losses and went down to the third place of the group A. No matter how much talent CSKA has, as we seen thus far, the Moscow team needs Weems putting big numbers on an every-night basis.

8. Zoran Planinic - Khimki Moscow region (4-2)

13.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.9 assists in 31 minutes.

Zoran Planinic, the 2012 Eurocup Final MVP, was one of the main reasons why Khimki got back to the Euroleague this season and the Croatian playmaker continues to lead Khimki all the way to the Top 8. The 30-year-old Planinic is currently having a career-year, averaging 13.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.9 assists.

Even Khimki's financial problems didn't prevent Planinic from putting big numbers in the Euroleague as just a week ago he was close on breaking his individual performance result against Fenerbahce Ulker, posting 25 points, six rebounds and six assists. Simultaneously, Planinic's 16.2% shooting percentage from beyond the arc hurts his chances on climbing up our Euroleague MVP rankings.

9. Ante Tomic - FC Barcelona (5-1)

10.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in 22 minutes.

Throughout the regular season, Ante Tomic reminded himself as an inconsistent big man, who has enough potential to steal the spotlight at any game. However, everything changed in the Top 16, where Tomic, for the very first time in his career, constantly plays as an MVP on every game.

While FC Barcelona Regal stands on the top of group F, Tomic has been averaging 14.8 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists throughout six Top 16 stage games, comparing to 8.6 points, 5.2 boards and 1.5 assist in the regular season. Tomic finished in double scoring figures in all six games as well and if the 25-year-old center maintains this pace, he has all the potential to move up higher in Euroleague MVP ranking in the near future.

10. Maciej Lampe - Caja Laboral Vitoria (4-2)

12.6 points and 6 rebounds in 24 minutes.

From hate to love, there is only one step. After a tough 37 points Euroleague loss against Zalgiris right after the departure of head coach Dusko Ivanovic, it seems that Maciej Lampe was the next person to be blamed for horrible Caja Laboral results in the Euroleague. Then, under new coach Zan Tabak, Caja Laboral managed to win 17 (!) games in a row, including Spanish championship games, and that had not be possible without Lampe.

The 6-foot-11 big man was a top scorer in six of those 17 games and either lead the team in scoring, rebounding or assists in 10 of them. Lampe is also a key contributor to Caja Laboral's success in the Top 16 stage as he averages 14.8 points and Top-16-second-best 7.5 rebounds in six games.

Honorable Mentions: Shawn James, Maccabi; Kyle Hines, Olympiakos; Dimitris Diamantidis, Stephane Lasme, Panathinaikos; Milos Teodosic, CSKA.

As the Euroleague 2012-13 season action is already underway, RealGM presents the ultimate positional rankings of the league's best players. In this edition, RealGM ranked the elite shooting guards from one to ten. 

1. Vassilis Spanoulis (Olympiakos Piraeus, Greece)

Statistics in 2011-12 (Euroleague): 16.7 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 4.7 turnovers.

Last season, Vassilis Spanoulis was definitely the number one figure in Olympiakos' triumphant Euroleague title, from the very beginning untill the last possession of the final game. Without surprise, Spanoulis is one of the highest paid players in Europe, and is currently in the last season of his contract, which will make him the most wanted player in the Euroleague next summer.

2. Rudy Fernandez (Real Madrid, Spain)

Statistics in 2011-12 (NBA): 8.6 points, 2.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists.

During the NBA lockout, European basketball fans had a chance to see how dominant Rudy Fernandez can be in the Euroleague as he averaged 11.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists in eight games he played. Now, Fernandez is back to Europe for at least three years, but his influence on Real Madrid results should be instant. The most talented players in Europe will surround the 27-year-old guard, therefore the championship hopes will be alive in Madrid as never before.

3. Juan Carlos Navarro (FC Barcelona Regal, Spain)

Statistics in 2011-12 (Euroleague): 13.6 points, 3.2 assists.

Juan Carlos Navarro has been a symbol of FC Barcelona Regal for years. It's his 15th season with the Catalonian club and last season was the seventh in a row where he averaged 13 or more points in the Euroleague. The 32-year-old two-time Euroleague champion is not as consistent in the early stage of tournament as he once was, but Navarro is always clutch and ready when his team needs him in the most important moments.

4. Fernando San Emeterio (Caja Laboral Vitoria, Spain)

Statistics in 2011-12 (Euroleague): 12 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists.

Fernando San Emeterio has made a huge leap in a short period of time, going from a bench player in 2009 to become one of the central figures for Caja Laboral. Just a year later, San Emeterio proved himself a star on this level, making RealGM All-Euroleague 1st Team. Back then, the 26-year-old San Emeterio averaged 13.7 points (50% 3FG), 5.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, demonstrating how versatile he can be. Two years later, San Emeterio is more experienced and the 2011 Spanish championship MVP award only verifies that.

5. Jaycee Carroll (Real Madrid, Spain)

Statistics in 2011-12 (Euroleague): 14.2 points, 2.6 rebounds.

This is only Jaycee Carroll's second season in the Euroleague, but even in such a short period of time, the 29-year-old guard established himself as one of the biggest offensive threats coming off the bench in the league. Carroll is a pure shooter and has a great chance to win RealGM's Sixth Man Award for the second straight season.

6. Keith Langford (EA7 Emporio Armani Milan, Italy)

Statistics in 2011-12 (Euroleague): 10.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2 assists.

Keith Langford, who led the Euroleague in scoring during the 2010-11 season, is once again playing in a place where he can maximize his abilities. After a short stint with Maccabi Tel Aviv, Langford has joined the forces with EA7 Emporio Armani Milan, where he has the biggest role on the team. Now, Langford has a chance to use his scoring abilities to help Italian team make a long run and end title drought.

7. Rimantas Kaukenas (Zalgiris Kaunas, Lithuania)

Statistics in 2011-12 (Euroleague): 14.5 points (64% 3FG), 2.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists.

The 35-year-old veteran, who is still trying to improve his game. Rimantas Kaukenas is a phenomenal athlete with an amazing attitude and a ton of experience under his belt. Despite his age, Kaukenas is still one of the leaders of Zalgiris and might be among the key players in the next few years as well. 

8. Marko Popovic (Zalgiris Kaunas, Lithuania)

Statistics in 2011-12 (Euroleague): 12.5 points, 2.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists. 

Kaukenas' teammate Marko Popovic is a completely different type of player. He is a natural scorer with a winning mentality, but sometimes is too unpredictable and might sink his team. However, after the departure of Sonny Weems, Popovic may have one of the best seasons with Zalgiris in his career. 

9. Sasha Vujacic (Anadolu Efes Istanbul, Turkey)

Statistics in 2011-12 (Euroleague): 13.9 points, 3.3 rebounds.

Despite being in his debut season in Euroleague, Sasha Vujacic had complete offensive freedom last year as he was averaging 11 shot attempts per game. Confidence and offensive game are things that keep Vujacic among Euroleague's elite shooting guards but defensive problems prevent him from being the best. After Jordan Farmar joined Anadolu Efes, Vujacic may not have a statistically great season, but will definitely have a huge influence on Turkish team's results.

10. Renaldas Seibutis (Lietuvos Rytas Vilnius, Lithuania)

Statistics in 2011-12 (Eurocup): 14.8 points (52% 3FG), 2.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists.

Renaldas Seibutis made his Euroleague debut at the age of 20 and on his second game scored 13 points, grabbed four rebounds and helped Olympiakos beat Euroleague champion Maccabi Tel Aviv. However, due to injuries, his career was slowed down, but Seibutis has finally found his way back to the Euroleague tournament. In the first two games against CSKA and FC Barcelona Regal, the 27-year-old guard averaged 13.5 points, 4 rebounds, 4.5 assists and proved he's good enough to make this season's top ten shooting guards list.

With the 12-13 Euroloeague season ready to go, RealGM presents the ultimate positional rankings of the league's best players. In this first edition, RealGM ranked the elite points guards from one to ten.

1. Bo McCalebb (Fenerbahce Ulker Istanbul, Turkey)

Statistics in 2011-2012 (Euroleague): 16.9 points (53% 3FG) and 2.7 assists.

After spending only three seasons in the Euroleague, Bo McCalebb, at the age of 27, became a true phenomena and the most wanted point guard in the whole league. Lucky for Fenerbahce Ulker this offseason, Simone Pianigiani and the Turkish club managed to sign the Euroleague's top scorer, who joined his former coach and teammates from Montepaschi Siena. McCalebb's offensive skills might finally bring victories to Turkey, who haven't reached the Euroleague Final four since 2001.

2. Dimitris Diamantidis (Panathinaikos Athens, Greece)

Statistics in 2011-2012 (Euroleague): 11.5 points (43% 3FG), 3.7 rebounds and 4.8 assists.

Dimitris Diamantidis, 32, who went from defensive standout to offensive weapon over the past few seasons, is a player you would like to build a Euroleague team around. A very consistent and true leader, Diamantidis has everything it takes to be a top guard in the league and his versatility makes him among the very best at any position.

3. Milos Teodosic (CSKA Moscow, Russia)

Statistics in 2011-2012 (Euroleague): 10.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 5 assists.

Milos Teodosic's debut in Moscow wasn't as sweet as it could had been, as CSKA dropped a last second loss against his former team of four seasons, Olympiakos, in the Euroleague final. Teodosic would be a Euroleague champion by now if he stayed in Olympiakos, but it won't the one and only opportunity for the 25-year-old playmaker. Clearly, Teodosic will have better chances than any other point guard on this list to grab the title this season with his current team CSKA.

4. Jordan Farmar (Anadolu Efes, Istanbul)

Statistics in 2011-2012 (NBA): 10.4 points and 3.3 assists.

After playing only seven games with Maccabi Tel Aviv, Farmar was back to the NBA, where he averaged career-best 10.4 points per game. Under coach David Blatt, the 25-year-old Farmar was playing like a star and MVP candidate and there are no reasons why he couldn't do that with his new team, Anadolu Efes.

5. Marcelinho Huertas (FC Regal Barcelona, Spain)

Statistics in 2011-2012 (Euroleague): 8.5 points and 4.4 assists.

The 29-year-old Marcelinho Huertas is definitely at his prime right now and his stock raised even further after a successful performance in London Olympic games. Huertas draw basketball fans' attention with his playmaking skills and court vision as he finished the Olympics second in assists category (averaged six assists per game). As the Brazilian's contract with FC Regal Barcelona ends in 2015, it wouldn't be a big surprise to see Huertas going to the States and joining an NBA team.

6. Sergio Rodriguez (Real Madrid, Spain)

Statistics in 2011-2012 (Euroleague): 7.4 points (47 3FG%) and 5.4 assists.

Having a player like Sergio Rodriguez makes things a lot easier for the entire Real Madrid team. Rodriguez has never been the most athletically gifted player on court, but his quickness and passing skills - he was the second in assists category last season, 5.4 per game - makes him one of the best point guards in Europe. Moreover, the 26-year-old Rodriguez has been playing for the Spanish national team since he was 19 and that grew him as a player and made him an important weapon in clutch situations.

7. Dontaye Draper (Real Madrid, Spain)

Statistics in 2011-2012 (Eurocup): 13.8 points and 2.6 assists.

Rodriguez's teammate and Real Madrid newcomer Donatya Draper might be the best-kept secret that will make his debut in Euroleague this season. Draper, a 28-year old well-built, athletic playmaker, last season proved again with Cedevita that he can be the main offensive weapon, averaging 13.8 points per game in Eurocup. His performance in EuroBasket 2011 (Draper plays for the Croatian national team despite being from the United States) also proved his versatility, as he was a pass-first type point guard and averaged seven assists per game.

8. Omar Cook (EA7 Emporio Armani Milan, Italy)

Statistics in 2011-12 (Euroleague): 7.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 5.7 assists.

Omar Cook, another American point guard on this list, is entering his fifth straight Euroleague season and most likely with the highest ambitions he ever had. The 30-year-old Cook led the league in assists last season, with 5.7 per game, and it seems he will remain among leaders in that category as Olimpia Milano added such offensive weapons like Keith Langford and Gianluca Basile to their squad.

9. Roko Ukic (Panathinaikos Athens, Greece)

Statistics in 2011-12 (Euroleague): 11.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists.

After Roko Ukic came back from the NBA in 2010 and joined Fenerbahce Ulker, it was believed that the Croatian could become a dominant point guard in the Euroleague and help the Turkish club to reach more than just Top 16. While Ukic has proved he's among the best, he hasn't demonstrated he has what it takes to be a game changer. A new team, new circumstances and another chance is waiting for Ukic with Panathinaikos, who will desperately need the best of him this season.

10. Zoran Planinic (Khimki Moscow region, Russia)

Statistics in 2011-12 (Eurocup): 11.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists.

Last season's Eurocup Finals MVP, Zoran Planinic was one of the main reasons why Khimki made a comeback to the Euroleague. As Khimki didn't bring any dominant players, Planinic's role is going to be even bigger this season as he is expected to lead Khimki in this year's competition and make his teammates better than they ever been.

Honorable Mention: Aaron Jackson, CSKA.
