Ulyana Kudrevtseva

Talented Russian Maria Aristova (188-C-2006) had a great game in the last round for Barsy Atyrau and that's her to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 24.
The 19-year old center had a double-double of 17 points and 15 rebounds, while her team crushed Zhetysu (#7, 3-13) with 18-point margin 76-58. Barsy Atyrau maintains the 5th position in Kazakhstan D1. Barsy Atyrau 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 8-10 record. In the team's last game Aristova had a remarkable 57.1% from 2-point range. She turned to be Barsy Atyrau's top player in her first season with the team. Maria Aristova averages this season 12.6ppg and 11.6rpg.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was another Barsy Atyrau's star - young guard Shugyla Kemel (168-G-2007). Kemel impressed basketball fans with 28 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. Of course together with Aristova she helped Barsy Atyrau with another comfortable win 76-58 over slightly lower-ranked Zhetysu (#7, 3-13) being unquestionably team leader. Barsy Atyrau's 5th position in the standings has not changed. Her team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 8-10 record. Kemel is a newcomer at Barsy Atyrau and it seems she did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders.

The third best performed player last round was international forward Ulyana Kudrevtseva (175-F-1999) of second-ranked Turan Turkestan. Kudrevtseva scored 17 points and grabbed 9 rebounds. Despite Kudrevtseva's great performance the Turan lost 54-60 to #4 ranked Irtysh. But her team cannot count on just a single player as she also needs help of the other teammates especially in such crucial game. The last thing Turan needs is to lose another game like this one. They lose more and more distance to the top teams. Their record is 10 victories and 8 lost games. Kudrevtseva has a great season in Kazakhstan. After 18 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 8.7rpg (7th best). She also has 3.1spg and a FGP of 52.8%.
