Dmitry Sviridov

Uzbekistani Center Dmitry Sviridov (212-C-85) put on an amazing game in the last round for Sinegorie K., receiving a Interperformances Player of the Week award for round 17.
The 34-year old player had a double-double of 19 points and 12 rebounds, while his team beat Kaspiy Aktau (#6, 2-19) 88-79. Sinegorie K. maintains the 4th position in Kazakhstan National League. Sinegorie K. 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 9-11 record. It was one of impressive evenings for Sviridov as usually he does not deliver so high stats. Dmitry Sviridov has solid league stats. He is in league's top in rebounds (9th best: 6.0rpg) and averages impressive 52.8% FGP.

The second best player in last round's games was American Traevis Graham (201-F, agency: One Motive Sports) of Kaspiy Aktau. Graham had a very good evening with 26 points and 8 rebounds. Bad luck as Kaspiy Aktau lost that game 79-88 to slightly higher-ranked Sinegorie K. (#4, 9-11). Kaspiy Aktau are still at the very bottom. 19 lost games are too many comparing to just two victories Kaspiy Aktau managed to get this year. Graham is a newcomer at Kaspiy Aktau, but is already one of team's top players.

Third on the list of top players last round was center Robert Pan (202-C-95) of league's top team Astana. Pan scored 18 points and grabbed ten rebounds. He was a key player of Astana, leading his team to a 102-46 easy win against the lower-ranked Kaspiy Aktau (#6, 2-19). Many experts and fans count Astana as a contender for championship title. Another victory and another confirmation that they may be right. Just look at their record: 18 victories and only one lost game. They are currently at the very top of the standings. Pan has a very solid season. In 16 games in Kazakhstan he scored 8.1ppg.

The Player of the week is selected based on efficiency calculation, but also including game result, importance of the game, if played recorded double-double/triple-double, etc.
