With the likes of Thomas Heurtel and Kevin Pangos failing to stamp their authority on Barcelona's point guard position, Adam Hanga has come to coach Svetislav Pesic's rescue. The two-time Hungarian League All-Star dropped a career-high 10 assists for Barcelona in their game against FC Bayern Munich earlier this season. Adam Hanga has rarely played in the point guard position, be it for Hungary or in the Euro League. However, Hanga has excelled in his new role for Barcelona and has also played a hand in their defensive resilience in their last couple of outings.

Elsewhere on the court, Nikola Mirotic has also come to the fore for Barcelona this season. Barcelona went 5-0 in December, courtesy of Mirotic's exploits. The fact that they are now joined in a three-way tie for first place played a big part in Mirotic securing the MVP of the Month for December. Interestingly, Nikola Mirotic is the first Barcelona player to win the MVP of the Month award since Ante Tomic in March 2014.
