27-year old American forward Brandon McCoy (213-F-1998, agency: MSG) had an amazing evening in the last round for second-ranked Hefei Kuangfeng and receives a Hoops Agents NBL Player of the Week award for round 11.
He had a double-double of 28 points and 15 rebounds, while his team beat Shanghai (#4, 7-4) 87-82. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Hefei is placed at 2nd position in Chinese NBL. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Hefei will need more victories to improve their 8-3 record. McCoy just recently signed at Hefei, being already a very valuable addition to the team. University of Nevada - Las Vegas graduate has very impressive stats this year. McCoy is in league's top in rebounds (6th best: 11.4rpg) and averages solid 1.9bpg and 60.5% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Tra Holder (185-G-1995) of Jiaozuo Cultural Tourism. He is American-Thailand guard in his first season at Jiaozuo. In the last game Holder recorded an impressive 36 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists. Bad luck as Jiaozuo lost that game 93-101 to the higher-ranked Hubei (#8, 5-6). This loss caused Jiaozuo to drop to 11th position in the standings. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 4-7 record. Holder is one of the most experienced players at Jiaozuo and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 27.5ppg (#2). He also recorded 6.2 assists per game.

Third place about best performers goes to forward Eric Paschall (198-F-1996) of Hubei Wenlv (#8). Paschall got into 30-points club by scoring exactly 30 points in the last round. He went also for nine rebounds . He was a key player of Hubei, leading his team to a 101-93 win against the lower-ranked Jiaozuo (#11, 4-7). The chances of Hubei 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, Paschall could help Hubei to bring them higher in the standings. Paschall has a very solid season. In 11 games in China he scored 20.8ppg.

4. Dimitrios Agravanis (208-F-1994) of Hefei - 26 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists
