EuroCup: Jared Harper Makes History With Second MVP Award, Leads Season of Total Dominance

EuroCup Basketball has found its individual award winner: Jared Harper. The point guard for Hapoel Midtown Jerusalem has been named MVP of the 2025-26 season, becoming the first player ever to win the award twice in the tournament's history.

The voting, which includes coaches, team captains, media, and fans, has once again backed the impact of the American guard, who has delivered a campaign of exceptional quality in both production and consistency.

Harper has been the engine of a Hapoel team that closed the regular season with the competition's best record (13-5), sustaining the team night after night. His ability to generate points and advantages has been constant, finishing as one of the tournament's leading scorers with 19.5 points per game and also ranking among the elite in efficiency rating, averaging 22.2.

But beyond the overall numbers, his greatest value has been in consistency. No other player managed to maintain such a stable offensive presence: Harper scored in double figures in every regular season game, showing absolute reliability as an offensive reference point. His peak came with a 30-point performance that reflected his ability to dominate games in any context.

His aggressive style has been another distinguishing trait. He was the player who went to the free throw line most frequently, leading in both made and attempted free throws, which demonstrates his constant pressure on opposing defenses. Add to this his role as a playmaker, ranking among the tournament's best assist leaders.

Moreover, his impact is not limited to offense. Harper has also contributed on defense and in controlling the game's pace, proving to be a player capable of influencing all phases of play.

His season has also been marked by individual performances of tremendous quality, which allowed him to be named Matchday MVP on three occasions, a record that no other player has matched this season.

With this second award, Harper not only confirms his dominance in the competition but also reinforces his legacy within the EuroCup, delivering one of the most consistent and impactful individual stretches ever remembered in the tournament.
