31-year old American forward Jordan Faison (201-F-1994, agency: 011 Sports) had a very impressive game in the last round for Tokyo United and receives a Hoops Agents B3 League Player of the Week award for round 35.
He had a double-double of 21 points and 10 rebounds, while his team beat Kanazawa (#10, 13-19) 83-76. The game rather meaningless between the teams, which do not have any influence on top of the standings. Thanks to this victory United moved-up to the 11th position in Japanese B3 League. Tokyo Utd is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 13-21 record. Faison turned to be United's top player in his first season with the team. Jordan Faison averages this season 13.1ppg and 6.0rpg.

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 21 points and 14 rebounds. Of course he led Earthfriends to another comfortable win 83-64 over the lower-ranked Veertien Mie (#15, 7-25) being unquestionably team leader. The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the title. Tokyo Z keeps 12th position. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 12-22 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 19.0ppg (#5). He also registered 8.1 boards per game.

Third place about best performers goes to forward Daniel Fotu (203-F-1999) of Gifu Swoops (#7). Fotu showcased his all-around game by recording 19 points, 13 rebounds (!!!) and 4 assists in the last round. He was a key player of Swoops, leading his team to a 79-75 win against the lower-ranked Yamaguchi (#13, 10-26). Gifu needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 18 victories and 16 lost games. Fotu has a very solid season. In 33 games in Japan he scored 11.1ppg. He also has 5.8rpg and a FGP of 60.3%.
