Francis' double-double lands him Player of the Week award

28-year old Brandone Francis (194-SF-1994) had an amazing evening in the last round for Prawira and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 6.
He had a double-double of 41 points and 12 rebounds, while his team crushed Rans Pik (#8, 2-2) with 17-point margin 78-61. Prawira is placed at 5th position in Indonesian league. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost that single game earlier this season. Prawira will need more victories to improve their 2-1 record. In the team's last game Francis had a remarkable 58.8% from 2-point range. He turned to be Prawira's top player in his first season with the team. Texas Tech University graduate has very impressive stats this year. Francis is league's best scorer averaging so far 32.3ppg. Francis is in league's top in rebounds (6th best: 10.0rpg) and averages solid 55.3% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Andakara Dhyaksa (173-PG-1992) of Pelita Jaya. He is international guard in his second season at Pelita Jaya. In the last game Dhyaksa recorded impressive 34 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists. Of course Pelita Jaya cruised to a 89-78 relatively comfortable win over the lower-ranked Pacific Caesar (#11, 1-2). This victory allowed Pelita Jaya to move up to 7th position in the standings. His team lost some distance to top teams. But 2-1 record is not bad and everything may still change. Dhyaksa is well-known at Pelita Jaya and he already established his position as one of the team's leaders. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 18.3ppg (#9). He also recorded 3.7 assists per game.

Third place about best performers goes to center Morakinyo Williams (209-C-1988) of Pacific Caesar (#11). Williams scored 24 points and grabbed fourteen rebounds (!!!). Despite Williams' great performance Pacific Caesar lost 78-89 to the higher-ranked Pelita Jaya (#7, 2-1). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. The chances of Pacific Caesar not to end season at such low position in the league, however are less than slim as they have already lost 2 games, recording just one victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Williams could try to bring Pacific Caesar's a little bit higher in the standings. Williams has individually a great season in Indonesia. After only 3 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 20.7ppg (8th best), rebounds with 12.7rpg (2nd best) and assists with 1.3apg (7th best).
