American Center Henry Sims (208-C-1990) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for CS Maristes, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 23.
The 34-year old player had a double-double of 23 points and 29 rebounds, while his team crushed Homentmen (#5, 10-10) with 16-point margin 112-96. Maristes is placed at 8th position in Lebanese LBL. Maristes is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 8-12 record. In the team's last game Sims had a remarkable 64.3% from 2-point range. He just recently signed at Maristes, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Former Georgetown University star has very solid stats this year. Sims is in league's top in rebounds (2nd best: 13.4rpg) and averages impressive 56.4% FGP.

The second best player in last round's games was young American Dikembe Dixson (201-F-1996) of Hoops Club. Dixson had a very good evening with a double-double of 34 points and 20 rebounds. Of course he led Hoops to another comfortable win outscoring the lower-ranked Mayrouba (#11, 6-14) 96-74. This victory allowed Hoops to move up to 6th position in the standings. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 9-12 record. Dixson is one of the most experienced players at Hoops and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 30.3ppg (#1). He also registered 8.5 boards per game.

Third on the list of top players last round was Australian center Thon Maker (216-C-1997) of league's top team Sporting Al Riyadi Beirut. Maker scored 25 points and grabbed 13 rebounds (!!!). He was a key player of Al Riyadi, leading his team to a 110-72 easy win against #2 ranked Beirut Club in a game of the week. Many experts and fans count Al Riyadi as a contender for championship title. Another victory and another confirmation that they may be right. Just look at their record: 19 victories and only one lost game. They are currently at the very top of the standings. Maker has a very solid season. In 9 games in Lebanon he scored 14.0ppg. He also has 8.8rpg, 1.4bpg and a FGP of 80.0%.
