CSKA's Ramunas Shishkauskas has been named most valuable player (MVP) for this season’s Euroleague.

The Lithuanian forward moved to the Moscow team from Greece’s Panathinaikos at the beginning of the season.

He starred in 23 matches for the Army men, including the Tau Ceramica semi-final in Madrid.

The 30-year-old averaged a solid 14 points and 3.2 rebounds a game, which earned him the MVP honour.

It’s the second straight Euroleague MVP for a CSKA player.
