American-Guamanian Curtis Washington (208-F-91, agency: Haylett Sports) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Al-Nweidrat and that's him to receive a Interperformances Player of the Week award for round 13. The 27-year old forward had a double-double of 32 points and eighteen rebounds, while his team beat Samaheej (#13, 0-11), the league's bottom-ranked team 86-74. The game was not the highest importance and did not have significant influence on top of the standings. Al-Nweidrat maintains the 11th position in Bahrain Premier League. The season is in a full swing, so it's only a dream for the team to make it into top half of the standings. For contrary they may face relegation if the situation turns from bad to worse. Al-Nweidrat have already lost 9 games and recorded just three victories. In the team's last game Washington had a remarkable 66.7% from 2-point range and got three three-pointers out of 7 attempts. He turned to be Al-Nweidrat's top player in his first season with the team. Curtis Washington averages just after three games 36.3ppg and 18.7rpg.
The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was 26-year old Senegalese center Mansour Kasse (208-C-92) of Sitra. Kasse impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 46 points and 21 rebounds. Bad luck as Sitra was edged by the higher-ranked Al-Najma (#5, 5-6) 113-109. This loss caused Sitra to drop to 9th position in the standings. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 4-8 record. Kasse is a newcomer at Sitra and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders.
The third best performed player last round was international Mohamed Buallay (95) of Al-Najma (#5). Buallay showcased his all-around game by recording 29 points, thirteen rebounds (!!!) and fourteen assists (!!!) in the last round. He was a key player of Al-Najma, leading his team to a 113-109 win against the lower-ranked Sitra (#9, 4-8). The chances of Al-Najma ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 6 games, recording just five victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Buallay could help Al-Najma to bring them higher in the standings. Buallay has a very solid season. In 11 games in Bahrain he scored 16.4ppg. He also has 10.4rpg, 9.4apg and FGP: 53.0%.
Other top performing players last week: 4. Ryan Richards (212-C/F-91) of Al-Hala - 29 points, 23 rebounds and 3 assists 5. Lester Ferguson (208-F-88) of Al-Bahrain - 25 points, 18 rebounds and 3 assists 6. Khalid Ali) of Al-Bahrain - 32 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists 7. Mark St.Fort (200-F-88) of Samaheej - 25 points and 15 rebounds 8. Marcel Jones (203-F-85) of Al-Ahli - 23 points, 16 rebounds and 3 assists 9. Mohayyad Ameer) of Sitra - 29 points and 10 rebounds 10. Kevin Rogers (206-PF-86) of Al-Najma - 20 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists

BAHRAIN'S Al Ahli posted a come-from-behind 98-92 victory over Ohod of Saudi Arabia last night in the Fiba Asia Champions Cup 2019 Gulf Basketball Association (GBA) Qualifiers, being played at Khalifa Sports City arena in Isa Town. American professional Wayne Chism (206-PF-87, college: Tennessee) had a monster game to spearhead the home side. He made a pair of crucial baskets in the closing minute of the contest as well as two pressure-packed free-throws that pegged the final score. With the result, Ahli bounced back from a loss in their opening game and secured their first victory in Group 'A' of the tournament's preliminary round. In yesterday's other fixtures, both UAE teams in action defeated their Qatari counterparts, as Shabab Al Ahli Dubai trounced Al Shamal 109-83 in Group 'B' and Sharjah edged past Al Arabi 86-82 in Group 'A'. In Ahli's win, the Bahrainis needed to fight back from as many as 16 points down and close the game strong for the much-needed result. They faced a 68-75 deficit to begin the final quarter but then went on a 14-7 run, capped by a Chism three-point play to tie things at 82-all. Another three-point play by Chism then gave Ahli the lead for good at 85-82, setting the stage for the close finish. Chism finished with an impressive 40 points, 26 rebounds, five assists and five blocks. Fellow-import, American-Kiwi Marcel Jones (203-F-85, college: Oregon St.), chipped in with 24 markers and nine boards. Bahraini guard Hesham Sarhan added 10 for Ahli in the win. Musa Aleem had 37 points to pace Ohod, including seven three-pointers. Shane Rector added 33. In Shabab Al Ahli Dubai's win, they used a strong second quarter to turn a slim 25-24 advantage to a 55-43 lead, and they never looked back. They enjoyed leads as big as 33 points the rest of the way. Kevin Murphy (197-G-90, college: Tenn Tech) top scored for Shabab with 30 points while also dishing out 12 assists, while Chris Johnson added 20 points to go with 13 rebounds. Both American professionals buried three three-pointers apiece. Qais Alshehabi added 23 markers in the win. Mohamed Harath (198-F-90) paced Shamal with 21 points and 14 boards. The game was the first of the championship for both sides. In Sharjah's victory, a step-back three-pointer by US import Marvelle Harris put his team up 83-79 with just 32 seconds to go in the contest. The basket proved decisive, as Arabi could only fight back to within three points in the final seconds. Harris finished the game with 28 points, seven rebounds and seven assists; while countryman Tyler Wilkerson (203-F-88, college: Marshall) top scored for Sharjah with 30 points while taking down 11 boards. Arabi's American professional Kevin Galloway had a fine triple-double in the losing effort. He finished with 25 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists while playing all 40 minutes of the game. William Byrd (201-G/F-85, college: UAPB) Jr chipped in with 18 and 13, but their effort alone could not lift them against their opponents. Sharjah clinched their second successive game while Arabi lost their first after opening the tournament with a win. The preliminary round continues today with another three games on the cards. At 3pm, Shabab Al Ahli Dubai face off with Al Seeb of Oman. It will be followed at 5pm by Bahrain's Ahli battling Sharjah, and then at 7pm Bahrain's Manama take on Shamal. Courtesy of: gdnonline.com

On Lampe:
Great leaper, great instinct for the offensive rebounds, moves well without the ball, has n yet a good outside shoot, but has enough soft hands to develop it; could become NBA material in a year or two;
Improves every day; he can play three positions, but hes probably best at the PF; his combination of size, shooting touch, ball handling skills and an advanced inside-outside games have drawn comparisons to Dirk Nowitzki; in fact, hes a great leaper, has great instinct for the offensive rebounds, moves well without the ball, has enough soft hands to develop a good outside shoot.
