Zenit forward Janis Timma has been named the VTB United League’s Top Latvian Player in 2015-16. He was honored on May 1 in St. Petersburg prior to Game 1 of the Zenit – Avtodor quarterfinal series.
Janis Timma receives the honor for the 2nd year in a row. He played 29 games for Zenit, averaging 26.5 minutes, 13.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.6 steals and an efficiency rating of 15.6.
– I’m really happy to receive this honor, – Timma told VTB-League.com. – It’s not that easy to be the best Latvian player in the league with my teammate Kaspars Berzins, Rolands Freimanis of Kalev and a whole bunch of talented guys at VEF in the league. This prize is extra motivation for me. I hope I can help Zenit be successful in the playoffs.
