Bryant Dunston of Olympiacos Piraeus has been voted the 2014 Best Defender Trophy winner by Euroleague head coaches.

Dunston, 27, stepped into a difficult role as a rookie of whom much was expected for the back-to-back Euroleague champs.

Dunston earned weekly MVP honors three times and led the competition with 1.3 blocks per game.

He also became the first player in the Euroleague this century to compile at least 30 blocks and 30 steals in a single season.
