Nick Weiler-Babb of FC Bayern Munich has been named the 2024–25 EuroLeague Best Defender, becoming the first player in club history to receive the prestigious honor.
The award, selected by EuroLeague head coaches, recognizes the player with the greatest defensive impact throughout the season—and Weiler-Babb delivered.
With a league-leading 52 steals, elite on-ball pressure, and unmatched versatility, he set the tone for Bayern’s defense and helped lead them back to the playoffs.
Now in his fifth season with Bayern, Weiler-Babb consistently guarded the toughest assignments, leading all guards in rebounds (4.2 rpg) and accounting for over 22% of the team’s steals.
He joins an elite list of EuroLeague defenders, becoming the 10th different player to win this award, and writing his name into EuroLeague history.
