Jordanian Premier League round 4 (Second Stage) best performance: Darrin Dorsey

American Point guard Darrin Dorsey (188-PG-1987, agency: Diamond Sports) had a great game in the last round for top-ranked Orthodox, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 4 (Second Stage).
The 35-year old player had a double-double of 40 points and 14 rebounds, while his team outclassed, Second Stage bottom-ranked team Al Jubaiha (#4, 0-4) with 27-point margin 104-77. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. 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 still on an early stage, but Orthodox already had a very good start winning all 4 without losing a single one. In the team's last game Dorsey had a remarkable 60.0% from 2-point range and got six three-pointers out of 9 attempts. He turned to be Orthodox's top player in his first season with the team. Former Dakota Wesleyan University star has very solid stats this year. Dorsey is in league's top in points (5th best: 21.3ppg), assists (3rd best: 6.0apg) and averages impressive 62.2% FGP and 45.1% from behind 3-point line.

The second best player in last round's games was young American Gerard Tarin (206-F-1996) of league's second-best Al Ahli. Tarin had a very good evening with 29 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists. Bad luck as Al Ahli was edged by Al Riyadi (2-2) 92-90. It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Al Ahli still maintains its place in the top 2 of the standings, even despite this loss. His team's 2-2 record is not bad at all. Tarin is a newcomer at Al Ahli, but is already one of team's top players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 22.4ppg (#4). His other stats are also decent: 12.3rpg and 3.8apg. Former Nova Southeastern University star Tarin is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top international summer league in the market.

Third on the list of top players last round was another Orthodox's star - Canadian guard Freddy Ibrahim (190-G-1996). Ibrahim showcased his all-around game by recording 22 points, ten rebounds and eleven assists (!!!) in the last round. He was another key player of Orthodox, helping his team with a 104-77 easy win against #4 ranked Al Jubaiha. Orthodox started extremely well this Second Stage. They recorded 4 victories without losing a single game. Ibrahim turns to be one of the very best players in the league while he is also a leader of the top team having his eyes on the championship title. Ibrahim has a great season in Jordan. After 11 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 19.8ppg (7th best) and assists with 10.2apg (best passer). Freddy Ibrahim has also Jordanian passport and can play in the league with a status of domestic player.
