Lundberg is CSKA's joint leader in scoring (15.0 ppg.), is second in rebounds (6.5 rpg.) and leads with 5.5 assists for an average PIR of 21.0. On a Zenit team that is built on defense and averaging 17 points fewer per game (and allowing 23.5 fewer), Loyd leads all scorers with 14.5 points, which matches his PIR. Both can play either guard spot depending on who else is on the floor and there is little question that they will spend time matched up against one another. This marquee matchup could have a big impact on the outcome.
