31-year old American guard Treveon Graham (198-G-1993) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for second-ranked Taoyuan Pilots and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 3.
He had a double-double of 32 points and 11 rebounds, while his team crushed Suwon KT (#3, 1-1) with 21-point margin 91-70. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Pilots is placed at 2nd position in East Asia Super League. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. But it's just the very beginning of the season and Pilots won just one (their first) game. It's too early to say anything as the standings can be changed completely after next round. In the team's last game Graham had a remarkable 64.7% from 2-point range. He turned to be Pilots' top player in his first season with the team. Virginia Commonwealth University graduate has very impressive stats this year. Graham is in league's top in points (2nd best: 32.0ppg), rebounds (4th best: 11.0rpg), assists (7th best: 5.0apg) and averages solid 64.7% FGP and 66.7% from behind 3-point line.

Second best performed player last round was Kenny Manigault (195-G/F-1991) of New Taipei Kings. He is American swingman in his 3rd season at Kings. In the last game Manigault recorded an impressive double-double of 25 points and 11 rebounds. Bad luck as Kings lost that game 97-109 to Macau (1-1). The season 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. Manigault is one of the most experienced players at Kings and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 25.0ppg (#4). His other stats are also decent: 11.0rpg and 7.0apg.

Third place about best performers goes to forward Jeantal Cylla (201-F-1996) of Macau Black Bears (#3). Cylla got into 30-points club by scoring 32 points in the last round. He went also for six rebounds . He was a key player of Macau, leading his team to a 109-97 win against Kings (#5, 0-1). Macau needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 1 victory and 1 lost game. Cylla has a great season in East Asia Super League. After only 2 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 27.5ppg (3rd best).

4. Damian Chong-Qui (173-PG-1998) of Macau - 23 points, 5 rebounds and 11 assists
