American Kentrell Barkley (194-SF-1996, agency: Haylett Sports) had a great game in the last round for Kesatria Bengawan Solo, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 9.
The 29-year old player had a double-double of 25 points and 21 rebounds, while his team beat Dewa United (#4, 5-2) 95-84. Kesatria maintains the 9th position in Indonesian IBL. Kesatria is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 3-6 record. In the team's last game Barkley had a remarkable 58.8% from 2-point range. It's his second year at Kesatria and it's hard to imagine this team without him. Former East Carolina University star has very solid stats this year. Barkley is in league's top in points (9th best: 20.9ppg) and averages impressive 2.1bpg.

The second best player in last round's games was young American AJ Bramah (201-F-1999) of Elang Pacific Caesar Surabaya. Bramah had a very good evening with a double-double of 30 points and 14 rebounds. Bad luck as Pacific Caesar was edged by the higher-ranked Tangerang (#6, 4-3) 87-84. This loss caused Pacific Caesar to slide to the very bottom (11) position in the standings. 9 lost games are too many considering they did not win any game. Bramah 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 29.8ppg (#1). His other stats are also decent: 12.0rpg and 5.0apg.

Third on the list of top players last round was American forward KJ Buffen (201-F-2000, agency: Diamond Sports) of RANS PIK (#7). Buffen got into 30-points club by scoring exactly 30 points in the last round. He went also for sixteen rebounds and six assists. Despite Buffen's great performance the RANS PIK lost 72-73 to the league's current leader Pelita Jaya (#1, 7-0). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. The chances of RANS PIK not to end season at such low position in the league, however are less than slim as they have already lost 5 games, recording just three victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Buffen could try to bring RANS PIK's a little bit higher in the standings. Buffen has individually a great season in Indonesia. After only 8 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in assists with 6.6apg (3rd best). He also has 2.6spg, 1.6bpg and a FGP of 51.1%.
