Best players of Lebanese LBL round 15

Naturalized Canadian Guard Joseph Chartouny (190-G-94, agency: BIG) had a very impressive game in the last round for Champville and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 15.
The 26-year old guard had a double-double of 30 points and ten rebounds, while his team outclassed Homentmen (#9, 2-10) with 56-point margin 116-60. Champville maintains the 5th position in Lebanese LBL. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Champville will need more victories to improve their 7-4 record. In the team's last game Chartouny had a remarkable 66.7% from 2-point range and got five three-pointers out of 9 attempts. He just recently signed at Champville, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Marquette University graduate has very impressive stats this year.

Rustom impressed basketball fans with a triple-double of 22 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Of course together with Chartouny he helped Champville with another comfortable win outscoring the lower-ranked Homentmen (#9, 2-10) 116-60. Champville's 5th position in the standings has not changed. His team lost some distance to top teams. But 7-4 record is not bad and everything may still change. Rustom is one of the most experienced players at Champville and similarly like Joseph Chartouny has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

He was a key player of Beirut Club, leading his team to a 83-66 easy win against the lower-ranked Byblos (#7, 5-7). Beirut Club needs these victories very badly if they think about taking over top position in the standings. Their record at this point is 8 victories and 4 lost games.
