Best players of Jordanian Premier League round 9 (by Hoops Agents)

Experienced American Darrin Dorsey (188-PG-1987) had a great game in the last round for league's leader Orthodox and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 9.
The 35-year old playmaker had the game-high 23 points adding nine rebounds and seven assists for Orthodox in his team's victory, helping them to outclass Kofer Yoba (#5, 2-6) with 72-point margin 134-62. It allowed Orthodox to consolidate first place in the Jordanian Premier League. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is already in a full swing and Orthodox still have not lost a single game, getting all 8 victories. In the team's last game Dorsey had a remarkable 69.2% from 2-point range. He turned to be Orthodox's top player in his first season with the team. Darrin Dorsey averages just after three games 22.0ppg, 8.3rpg and 5.3apg.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was another Orthodox's star - young Canadian guard Freddy Ibrahim (190-G-1996). Ibrahim impressed basketball fans with 27 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists. Of course together with Dorsey he helped Orthodox with another comfortable win outscoring the lower-ranked Kofer Yoba (#5, 2-6) 134-62. Of course Orthodox still keep the league's top spot. He plays for the best team in the league and Orthodox managed to win all 8 games keeping a perfect record. Ibrahim is a newcomer at Orthodox and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 21.3ppg (#5). His other stats are also decent: 5.5rpg and 9.8apg.

The third best performed player last round was American guard Amin Abuhawwas (190-G-1994) of second-ranked Al Ahli. Abuhawwas scored 28 points and passed seven assists. He was a key player of Al Ahli, leading his team to a 97-85 win against #3 ranked Al Riyadi in a game of the week. Al Ahli is closer and closer to top of the standings. They will still need more victories. But 7-1 record is not that bad... Abuhawwas has a great season in Jordan. After only 5 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 28.8ppg (best scorer) and assists with 6.8apg (3rd best). Amin Abuhawwas has also Jordanian passport and can play in the league with a status of domestic player. Abuhawwas attended one of camps at Eurobasket Summer League on his way to pro basketball.
