Thulfiqar Hammoodi

28-year old forward Thulfiqar Hammoodi (196-F-92) put on an amazing game in the last round for Al-Hashd and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 32.
He had a double-double of 35 points and 19 rebounds, while his team outclassed AL-Adhamiya (#11, 4-17) with 32-point margin 100-68. Al-Hashd maintains the 3rd position in Iraqi league. They are still close to the very top. Al-Hashd would have been even better if they kept winning the games like in the last round. They have a solid 15-3 record. Hammoodi turned to be Al-Hashd's top player in his first season with the team. Hammoodi has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (5th best: 21.0ppg) and rebounds (4th best: 9.8rpg).

Second best performed player last round was Aaron Mitchell (188-G-89) of Al Kahraba. He is American guard in his first season at Al Kahraba. In the last game Mitchell recorded impressive double-double of 30 points and 12 rebounds. It was enough for Al Kahraba to edge the lower-ranked Nift Al-Shamal (#7, 7-12) by 3 points 88-85. This victory allowed Al Kahraba to move up to 4th position in the standings. His team's 12-5 record is not bad at all. Mitchell is a newcomer at Al Kahraba and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 22.8ppg (#2). His other stats are also decent: 10.1rpg and 4.9apg.

Third place about best performers goes to guard Byron Ashe (186-G-95) of Nift Al-Shamal (#7). Ashe showcased his all-around game by recording 28 points, five rebounds and five assists in the last round. Despite Ashe's great performance Nift Al-Shamal lost 85-88 to the higher-ranked Al Kahraba (#4, 12-5). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. Ashe has a very solid season. In 3 games in Iraq he scored 18.3ppg.
