Experienced Spanish David Doblas (208-C-1981) had a great game in the last round for Tokyo Hachioji Trains and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents B3 League Player of the Week award for round 39.
The 42-year old center had a double-double of 29 points and 15 rebounds, while his team beat Yamaguchi (#14, 14-26) 108-98. The game was not the highest importance and did not have significant influence on top of the standings. Hachioji Trains maintains the 9th position in Japanese B3 League. Tokyo 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 18-21 record. Doblas turned to be Hachioji Trains's top player in his first season with the team. David Doblas averages this season 16.8ppg and 8.7rpg.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young Beninese Muusa Dama (207-C/F-1996, agency: Blacktop Management) of second-ranked Kagawa Five Arrows. Dama impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 21 points and 10 rebounds. Of course he led Five Arrows to another comfortable win outscoring the lower-ranked Shinagawa (#16, 12-28) 89-58. Kagawa's second position in the standings has not changed. His team's 30-8 record is not bad at all. Dama is a newcomer at Kagawa and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders.

The third best performed player last round was another Tokyo HT's star - Nigerian Martins Igbanu (203-F/C-1997). Igbanu got into 30-points club by scoring exactly 30 points in the last round. He went also for nine rebounds . He was another key player of Tokyo Hachioji Trains, helping his team with a 108-98 win against the lower-ranked Yamaguchi (#14, 14-26). The chances of Hachioji Trains ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 21 games, recording just eighteen victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Igbanu could help Tokyo HT to bring them higher in the standings. Igbanu has a very solid season. In 10 games in Japan he scored 18.1ppg. He also has 7.1rpg and a FGP of 62.9%.

4. Jordan Faison (201-F-1994) of Saitama - 16 points, 15 rebounds and 4 assists
