Faison's double-double lands him B3 League Hoops Agents Player of the Week award

27-year old forward Jordan Faison (201-F-1994) had a very impressive game in the last round for Aisin AW and receives a Hoops Agents B3 League Player of the Week award for round 50.
He had a double-double of 38 points and 11 rebounds, while his team beat Kanazawa (#15, 1-43) 87-80. Aisin AW maintains the 5th position in Japanese B3 League. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Aisin AW will need more victories to improve their 29-15 record. In the team's last game Faison had a remarkable 93.3% from 2-point range. He turned to be Aisin AW's top player in his first season with the team. California State Polytechnic University, Pomona graduate has very impressive stats this year. Faison is in league's top in points (9th best: 20.1ppg), assists (8th best: 4.0apg) and averages solid 68.8% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was John Fields (205-F/C-1988, agency: Octagon Europe) of Tokyo HT. He is American forward in his first season at Tokyo HT. In the last game Fields recorded impressive double-double of 26 points and 23 rebounds. Bad luck as Tokyo HT was edged by slightly lower-ranked Yokohama EX (#11, 14-28) 91-89. The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the title. Tokyo HT keeps 9th position. His team lost some distance to top teams. But 22-17 record is not bad and everything may still change. Fields is a newcomer at Tokyo HT and quickly became one of team's most reliable players.

Third place about best performers goes to forward Chris Olivier (202-F-1992, agency: Octagon Europe) of Okayama (#6). Olivier got into 30-points club by scoring 32 points in the last round. He went also for ten rebounds . He was a key player of Okayama, leading his team to a 114-57 easy win against the lower-ranked Yamaguchi (#12, 11-35). Okayama needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 26 victories and 11 lost games. Olivier has a great season in Japan. After 35 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 23.5ppg (best scorer).
