Former Pitt guard Brad Wanamaker and Fenerbahce, his current Istanbul-based team, became the champions of the Turkish Basketball Super League on Wednesday with a 94-64 win over TOFAS in Game 5 of the league finals. The former Panther played a significant role as well, as he was a consistent scoring threat and earned MVP honors in the championship series.
In the finals, Wanamaker averaged 16.2 points and 4.2 assists, helping the Yellow Canaries establish a sizable advantage in a series that only saw them drop a single matchup. That included five straight double-digit scoring performances, with a game-high 17 points and five assists in Game 1, a game-high 18 points in Game 2, and a team-high 20 points and six assists in Game 3.
