Dame Diagne

International Power forward Dame Diagne (197-PF-2005) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Indonesia P., receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 43.
The 17-year old player had a double-double of 24 points and 14 rebounds, while his team crushed NSH (#14, 5-20) with 20-point margin 84-64. Indonesia P. maintains the 8th position in Indonesian IBL. Indonesia P. is a typical solid league team placed somewhere in the middle or a little bit lower in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 12-14 record. In the team's last game Diagne had a remarkable 56.3% from 2-point range. He has many years of experience at Indonesia P., through which he has constantly improved. Dame Diagne has solid league stats. He is in league's top in rebounds (4th best: 10.5rpg) and averages impressive 1.3bpg.

The second best player in last round's games was young British Morakinyo Williams (209-C-1988) of Pacific Caesar. Williams had a very good evening with a double-double of 20 points and 18 rebounds. Of course he led Pacific Caesar to another comfortable win 67-54 over the higher-ranked Evos Bogor (#13, 6-18) being unquestionably team leader. The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the title. Pacific Caesar dropped in the standings to very bottom position. 22 lost games are too many comparing to just four victories Pacific Caesar managed to get this year. Williams is one of the most experienced players at Pacific Caesar and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 19.7ppg (#6). He also registered 12.7 boards per game.

Third on the list of top players last round was Jamaican center Anthony Allen (210-C-1992) of Tangerang (#9). Allen scored 9 points and grabbed sixteen rebounds (!!!). Despite Allen's great performance Tangerang lost 68-71 to slightly higher-ranked Bumi Borneo (#7, 13-11). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. The chances of Tangerang ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 14 games, recording just eleven victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Allen could help Tangerang to bring them higher in the standings. Allen has a great season in Indonesia. After 23 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 11.8rpg (2nd best). He also has 3.1bpg and FGP: 57.0%.
