29-year old American center Kevin Allen (211-C-1994) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for second-ranked Hitech Bangkok City and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 3 (Qualifying Round).
He had a double-double of 30 points and 23 rebounds, while his team edged out Khuleguud (#3, 1-2) 115-111. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Hitech maintains the 2nd position in Basketball Champions League Asia . They would have been even better if they hadn't lost that single game earlier this stage. Hitech will need more victories to improve their 2-1 record. In the team's last game Allen had a remarkable 63.2% from 2-point range. He just recently signed at Hitech, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Emporia State University graduate has very impressive stats this year. Allen is in league's top in points (9th best: 20.0ppg) and averages solid 66.7% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Divine Myles (180-PG-1996, agency: MSG) of Khuleguud Knights Ulaanbaatar. He is Kosovan-American guard in his first season at Khuleguud. In the last game Myles recorded an impressive 34 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. Bad luck as Knights was edged by Hitech (2-1) 115-111. The Qualifying Round 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. Myles is a newcomer at Khuleguud and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 20.7ppg (#6). His other stats are also decent: 4.7rpg and 4.7apg.

Third place about best performers goes to Brandone Francis (194-SF-1994) of league's second-best Prawira Bandung. Francis got into 30-points club by scoring 31 points in the last round. He went also for six rebounds and six assists. He was a key player of Prawira, leading his team to a 105-94 win against #3 ranked NS Matrix in a game of the week. Prawira needs these victories very badly if they think about taking over top position in the standings. Their record at this point is 2 victories and 1 lost game. Francis has a great season in Basketball Champions League Asia. After only 3 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 26.3ppg (best scorer).
