Vladimir Veremeenko had his best game in the Euroleague yet to help Unics start the Top 16 with a tough 76-71 home win over Fenerbahce Ulker.

His performance earned him Top 16, Week 1 MVP honors and also made him the first Unics player to ever claim the Euroleague player of the week distinction.

Veremeenko scored 17 points on 6-of-7 shooting in addition to 11 rebounds, one steal, two blocks and 11 fouls drawn in amassing a performance index rating of 32, which was the best among all players on winning teams in the first set of Top 16 games.

Veremeenko also joins a short list of players to have won weekly MVP honors in both the Euroleague and Eurocup.
