25-year old point guard Trevin Parks (180-PG-91) had an amazing evening in the last round for second-ranked Barsy Atyrau and receives a Asia-basket.com Player of the Week award for round 6. He had the game-high 29 points adding four rebounds and five assists for Barsy Atyrau in his team's victory, helping them to crush, the league's bottom-ranked team Kaspiy Aktau (#3, 0-8) with 18-point margin 80-62. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Barsy Atyrau maintains the 2nd position in Kazakhstan league. Barsy Atyrau 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 4-4 record. Parks turned to be Barsy Atyrau's top player in his first season with the team. Johnson C. Smith University graduate has very impressive stats this year. Parks is league's best scorer averaging so far 24.0ppg. Parks is in league's top in rebounds (9th best: 4.5rpg), assists (3rd best: 4.1apg) and averages solid 3.6spg and 53.6% FGP.
Second best performed player last round was Mikhail Yevstigneyev (201-F/C-84). He is former international forward in his 2nd season at Barsy Atyrau. In the last game Yevstigneyev recorded impressive 23 points and 6 rebounds. Of course together with Parks he helped Barsy Atyrau with another comfortable win outscoring Kaspiy Aktau (#3, 0-8) 86-62. It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Barsy Atyrau consolidated its place in top 2 of the standings. His team's 4-4 record is not bad at all. Yevstigneyev is well-known at Barsy Atyrau and together with Trevin Parks he already established his position as one of the team's leaders. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 13.8ppg (#5). He also registered 6.9 boards per game.
Third place about best performers goes to guard Azim Yagodkin (185-PG-92) of Kaspiy Aktau (#3). Yagodkin scored 18 points and passed five assists. Despite Yagodkin's great performance Kaspiy Aktau lost 62-86 to #2 ranked Barsy Atyrau. But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates especially in such crucial game. Kaspiy Aktau can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have awful season losing so far all 8 games. Too bad for Yagodkin he does not play for a better team. But maybe if he did, his season stats would not be that high. Yagodkin has individually a great season in Kazakhstan. After only 7 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 15.4ppg (3rd best), rebounds with 4.7rpg (8th best) and assists with 5.9apg (2nd best).
