Alexey Alyonushka

27-year old forward Alexey Alyonushka (190-F-1995) had a great game in the last round for Karaganda and receives a Hoops Agents Higher League Player of the Week award for round 24.
He had a double-double of 19 points and 13 rebounds, while his team outclassed Altay (#12, 3-24) with 44-point margin 95-51. Karaganda is placed at 3rd position in Kazakhstan Higher League. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Karaganda will need more victories to improve their 19-8 record. Alyonushka turned to be Karaganda's top player in his first season with the team. Alyonushka has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (2nd best: 22.1ppg), rebounds (4th best: 9.7rpg) and averages solid 2.7spg and 52.9% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Baynazar Omarov (185-G-2004) of Aktobe 2. He is a guard in his first season at Aktobe 2. In the last game Omarov recorded impressive 25 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Bad luck as Aktobe 2 lost that game 80-94 to the higher-ranked Shymkent (#1, 26-1). Aktobe 2 is still in a red zone at 11th spot in the standings. 22 lost games are too many comparing to just five victories Aktobe 2 managed to get this year. Omarov is a newcomer at Aktobe 2 and quickly became one of team's most reliable players.

Third place about best performers goes to guard Anuar Shakirov (180-PG-2000) of league's leader Shymkent. Shakirov scored 29 points and grabbed five rebounds. He was a key player of Shymkent, leading his team to a 88-82 win against the lower-ranked Irtysh (#5, 13-14). Many experts and fans count Shymkent as a contender for championship title. Another victory and another confirmation that they may be right. Just look at their record: 26 victories and only one lost game. They are currently at the very top of the standings. Shakirov has a great season in Kazakhstan. After 27 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 20.6ppg (4th best) and assists with 5.0apg (8th best). He also has 2.2spg and FGP: 57.1%.
