Best players of Kyrgyzstani Higher League round 9 (by Hoops Agents)

Zhanysh Adiev

Experienced Zhanysh Adiev (190-G-90) had a great game in the last round for league's leader Alga-KTU and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 9.
The 31-year old guard had the game-high 29 points adding six rebounds and three assists for Alga-KTU in his team's victory, helping them to crush Legion (#3, 3-4) with 20-point margin 79-59. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. It allowed Alga-KTU to consolidate first place in the Kyrgyzstani Higher League. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is already in a full swing and Alga-KTU still have not lost a single game, getting all 8 victories. In the team's last game Adiev had a remarkable 55.6% from 2-point range and got six three-pointers out of 14 attempts. It's his second year at Alga-KTU and it's hard to imagine this team without him. Adiev has impressive league stats. He is league's best scorer averaging so far 23.0ppg. Adiev is in league's top in rebounds (8th best: 6.7rpg), assists (3rd best: 4.2apg) and averages solid 3.3spg,61.1% FGP and 40.5% from behind 3-point line.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was 31-year old guard Baish Adiev (192-G-90) of Legion. Adiev impressed basketball fans with 22 points and 7 rebounds. Bad luck as Legion lost that game 59-79 to league's leader Alga-KTU (#1, 8-0). It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Legion still maintains its place in the top 3 of the standings, even despite this loss. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 3-4 record. Adiev is well-known by Legion fans and he already established his position as one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 25.6ppg (#1). He also registered 8.1 boards per game.

The third best performed player last round was another Legion's star - Russian Emil Kasymaliev (190-G-89). Kasymaliev scored 13 points and passed five assists. Despite Kasymaliev's great performance Legion lost 59-79 to #1 ranked Alga-KTU. But his team cannot count on just these two top stars as they also need help of the other teammates especially in such crucial game. The chances of Legion ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 4 games, recording just three victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Kasymaliev could help Legion to bring them higher in the standings. Kasymaliev has a great season in Kyrgyzstan. After only 7 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 10.9rpg (3rd best) and assists with 4.7apg (2nd best). Emil Kasymaliev has also Kyrgyzstani passport and can play in the league with a status of domestic player.
