29-year old American power forward Tavrion Dawson (202-F/C-1996, agency: One Motive Sports) put on an amazing game in the last round for league's best team Tokushima Gambarous and receives a Hoops Agents B3 League Player of the Week award for round 22.
He had the game-high 28 points adding eight rebounds and four assists for Tokushima Gam. in his team's victory, helping them to crush Yamaguchi (#14, 6-17) with 16-point margin 96-80. It allowed Gambarous to consolidate first place in the Japanese B3 League. Tokushima Gam. have a solid 17-4 record. In the team's last game Dawson had a remarkable 71.4% from 2-point range and got five three-pointers out of 8 attempts. He has many years of experience at Gambarous, through which he has constantly improved. California State University Northridge graduate has very impressive stats this year. Dawson is in league's top in points (4th best: 20.8ppg) and averages solid 57.9% FGP and 44.1% from behind 3-point line.

Second best performed player last round was Jeremy Combs (201-F/C-1995) of Earthfriends Tokyo Z. He is American forward in his first season at Tokyo Z. In the last game Combs recorded an impressive double-double of 24 points and 14 rebounds. Of course he led Earthfriends to another comfortable win outscoring the higher-ranked Gifu (#8, 11-10) 78-58. This victory allowed Tokyo Z to move up to 11th position in the standings. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 7-14 record. Combs is a newcomer at Tokyo Z and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 17.8ppg (#6). He also registered 7.6 boards per game.

Third place about best performers goes to Matiss Kulackovskis (203-SF-1997) of Veertien Mie (#15). Kulackovskis got into 30-points club by scoring 31 points in the last round. He went also for twelve rebounds . Despite Kulackovskis' great performance the Veertien Mie lost 70-73 to the higher-ranked Shanan Utd (#9, 10-12). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. Veertien Mie can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have extremely bad season and 5-17 record places them at the very bottom of the standings. Too bad for Kulackovskis he does not play for a better team. But maybe if he did, his season stats would not be that high. Kulackovskis has a very solid season. In 15 games in Japan he scored 15.2ppg. He also has 5.7rpg and a FGP of 59.3%.
