29-year old USA-PHIn forward Chris McCullough (208-F-1995) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for second-ranked Pelita Jaya Bakrie Jakarta and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 8.
He had a double-double of 27 points and 15 rebounds, while his team beat Metal (#4, 1-5) 92-82. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Pelita Jaya maintains the 2nd position in Basketball Champions League Asia . They would have been even better if they did not have these two lost games earlier in Regular Season. Pelita Jaya will need more victories to improve their 4-2 record. In the team's last game McCullough had a remarkable 80.0% from 2-point range. He just recently signed at Pelita Jaya, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Syracuse University graduate has very impressive stats this year. McCullough is in league's top in rebounds (8th best: 8.7rpg) and averages solid 2.0bpg.

Second best performed player last round was Michael Singletary (198-F-1988) of Hitech Bangkok City. He is American forward in his first season at Hitech. In the last game Singletary recorded an impressive double-double of 24 points and 11 rebounds. Bad luck as Hitech lost that game 80-88 to league's leader Xac Broncos (#1, 6-0). It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Hitech still maintains its place in the top 3 of the standings, even despite this loss. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 2-4 record. Singletary is one of the most experienced players at Hitech and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 20.7ppg (#4). His other stats are also decent: 7.8rpg and 4.8apg. Former Texas Tech University star Singletary is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top international summer league in the market.

Third place about best performers goes to another Pelita Jaya's star - forward KJ McDaniels (197-F-1993, agency: JCK Sports Group). McDaniels scored 18 points and grabbed 9 rebounds. He was another key player of Pelita Jaya Bakrie Jakarta, helping his team with a 92-82 win against #4 ranked Metal. Pelita Jaya needs these victories very badly if they think about taking over top position in the standings. Their record at this point is 4 victories and 2 lost games. McDaniels has a great season in Basketball Champions League Asia. After only 5 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 20.4ppg (5th best), rebounds with 11.4rpg (2nd best) and assists with 5.0apg (2nd best).
