VTB United League Top Player


The VTB United League Top Player is an annual VTB United League award that is given to one player from each country that is represented by the league's clubs. The award has been handed out since the 2012–13 season, and it is awarded by the player's citizenship, regardless of the player's club's location.
In the league's countries with just one club, currently six, along with Poland in the past, the league itself gives the award. In Russia, which has 10 clubs, Russian news agency TASS, partners with the league to name the top Russian player. In the past, for clubs from Lithuania and Ukraine, the league partnered with, respectively, basketnews.lt and basket-planet.com.
