20-year old center Emmanuel Ejesu (203-C-2004) had a very impressive game in the last round for Hitech Bangkok City and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 5.
He had the game-high 16 points adding eight rebounds and five assists for Hitech in his team's victory, helping them to outclass, the league's bottom-ranked team Adroit (#4, 0-3) with 52-point margin 119-67. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Hitech maintains the 3rd position in Basketball Champions League Asia . Hitech is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 1-2 record. In the team's last game Ejesu had a remarkable 85.7% from 2-point range. He just recently signed at Hitech, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Emmanuel Ejesu averages just after three games 14.0ppg and 7.7rpg.

Second best performed player last round was Jordy Tshimanga (211-C-1996, agency: Interperformances) of top-ranked Xac Broncos Ulaanbaatar. He is Canadian center in his first season at Xac Broncos. In the last game Tshimanga recorded an impressive double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds. Of course he led Broncos to another comfortable win outscoring Adroit (#4, 0-3) 87-41. It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Xac Broncos consolidated its place in the very top position of the standings. A very good start of the season for his team, which won so far all 3 games without any defeat. Tshimanga is a newcomer at Xac Broncos and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 19.3ppg (#8). He also registered 9.3 boards per game.

Third place about best performers goes to swingman Sergii Pryimak (204-F/G-1996, agency: BIG) of Adroit Club (#4). Pryimak scored 19 points and grabbed 8 rebounds. Despite Pryimak's great performance the Adroit lost 67-119 to #3 ranked Hitech. But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates especially in such crucial game. Adroit can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have awful season losing so far all 3 games. Pryimak has a very solid season. In 3 games in Basketball Champions League Asia he scored 12.0ppg.
