Todor Stoykov of Lukoil Academic cemented his status as one of the best offensive players in ULEB Cup history Tuesday as he became the competition’s all-time assists leader. Stoykov, already the ULEB Cup's all-time leading scorer, dished one assist in a 55-73 victory over BK Ventspils in the second leg of their Last 32 series to surpass former teammate Lamont Jones.
Stoykov now has 165 assists in 58 career ULEB Cup games. Both players spent their entire ULEB Cup careers with Lukoil. Stoykov came into the game tied with Jones for the all-time lead and took over the top spot by feeding Riste Stefanov for a three-pointer midway through the second quarter.
Stoykov’s lead atop the assists chart is quite promising, as no one else in the top five – Jones (164), Dejan Tomasevic (144), Roel Moors (140) and Carles Marco (138) – played in the competition this season.
