MADRID (ACB) - Juan Carlos Navarro`s sharp-shooting display for Winterthur FC Barcelona on Sunday has earned him the MVP award for the ACB`s 13th week.
The Spain ace, who was a member of his country`s successful FIBA World Championship squad this summer, was the key player for Barca as they moved onto a 6-7 record for the season with a 78-72 victory over Lagun Aro Bilbao Basket.
Navarro poured in 32 points in the victory on 19 of 28 shooting from the floor, including three of six from the arc.
It was the best individual scoring return of the week and more than three times as many points as his next-best Barca team-mates Jaka Lakovic and Gianluca Basile, who each scored 10.
It is the third time the 26-year-old has won the award in his career, although he has been named as the ACB`s best domestic player on two occasions this season, the most recent of which was two weeks ago.
