PITESTI (Romania) - Spain's Isabel Hernandez deservedly claimed FIBA U16 EuroBasket 2025 MVP honors as she led the team to glory in Romania.
Hernandez headlines a talented All-Star Five that includes Germany's Mia Wiegand, Latvia's Sindija Sondore, and the Slovenian duo of Veronica Ferjancic and Ota Pozin.
MVP: Isabel Hernandez (Spain)
Her game-high 19 points in the Final against Slovenia solidified Isabel Hernandez's MVP status in this tournament, where she pulled the strings and ultimately led Spain to glory. The Valencia point guard averaged 13.7 points and 3.7 assists a game, with her standout being the all-around display of dominance against Great Britain on the opening day, when she posted 17 points, 6 assists, and 5 steals. However, the showpiece in the Final was the most meaningful.
Mia Wiegand (Germany)
Mia Wiegand consistently delivered for Germany, en route to a deserved podium finish. Even when she struggled from the field, like she did in Germany's second game against Italy, the intelligent player found other ways to help, as she grabbed 10 rebounds and was the glue for her team. Otherwise, Wiegand was Germany's primary scoring option, averaging 15.1 points and 6.1 rebounds, shooting 46 percent from the field.
Sindija Sondore (Latvia)
Averaging a double-double in the tournament and an all-around leader for Latvia, Sindija Sondore was a joy to watch. A talented, offensive-minded player, she consistently found the right shots at the right time, enjoying two 20-point games. She was also solid defensively, pulling down 10.7 rebounds per game to complement her 14.7 points.
Veronica Ferjancic (Slovenia)
Veronica Fernjancic performed well in the Final against Spain, but she couldn't lead Slovenia to a title. Still, a place on the podium is deserved, led by Fernjancic as the defensive anchor. She averaged 1.8 blocks a game and 8.2 rebounds a game, highlighting that. She also provided the offensive threat, posting 9.2 points a game, en route to leading the team in overall efficiency.
Ota Pozin (Slovenia)
Ota Pozin averaged 9.7 points and 5.7 rebounds a game, as she showed her all-around consistency throughout the tournament. Her 27 points in the Quarter-Final against Serbia were the undoubted highlight, going an incredible 10-for-13 from the floor. Pozin was the key component to Slovenia's run to the Final and a place on the podium.
