American Tevin Kelly put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Hydrabad S., receiving a Court Side Player of the Week award for round 3. The player was the main contributor (51 points, seven rebounds and six assists) to his team's victory, helping them to beat Bengaluru (#4, 0-2), the league's bottom-ranked team 113-103. Hydrabad S. is placed at 3rd position in their group in Indian UBA League. Hydrabad S. is a typical solid league team placed somewhere in the middle or a little bit lower in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 1-1 record. In the team's last game Kelly had a remarkable 62.5% from 2-point range. He just recently signed at Hydrabad S. and just after two games he already turned to be a very valuable addition to the team. Tevin Kelly has solid league stats. He is in league's top in points (4th best: 38.0ppg), assists (9th best: 6.0apg) and averages impressive 68.4% FGP.
The second best player in last round's games was 26-year old American Chris Solomon (191-G-90) of Bengaluru. Solomon had a very good evening with 48 points and 4 rebounds. Bad luck as Bengaluru lost that game 103-113 to Hydrabad S. (1-1). The season is still at the very beginning and this lost game may not be such crucial, of course if they start win the games. Let's wait for the next round. Solomon is one of the most experienced players at Bengaluru and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 40.0ppg (#2).
Third on the list of top players last round was another Hydrabad S.'s star - American forward Mak Boskailo (206-F). Boskailo got into 30-points club by scoring 31 points in the last round. He went also for thirteen rebounds . He was another key player of Hydrabad S., helping his team with a 113-103 win against #4 ranked Bengaluru in a game of the week. Hydrabad S. needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams in South. Their record at this point is 1 victories and 1 lost games. Boskailo has a great season in India. After only 2 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 9.0rpg (4th best).
Other top performing players last week: 4. Vishesh Bhriguvanshi (192-G-91) of Bengaluru - 19 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists 5. Rikin Pethani (203-C-90) of Chennai S. - 21 points and 10 rebounds 6.
