By every conceivable metric, Zalgiris Kaunas enjoyed the best month of any team in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague; the Lithuanian champs were the only squad with a perfect record in December. Big man Paulius Jankunas is more than just the club’s most productive player this season, he is also the team’s longest-tenured player and its captain. As the unquestioned leader – on and off the court – Jankunas is Euroleague Basketball's choice as the MVP for December.
