Experienced American Jordan Tolbert (200-F-1992) had a very impressive game in the last round for league's leader Xac Broncos Ulaanbaatar and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 15.
The 32-year old forward had a double-double of 23 points and 18 rebounds, while his team beat Darkhan (#6, 7-7) 79-73. It allowed Broncos to consolidate first place in the Mongolian MBL. Xac Broncos have a solid 15-2 record. Tolbert turned to be Broncos' top player in his first season with the team. Southern Methodist University graduate has very impressive stats this year. Tolbert is in league's top in rebounds (4th best: 9.9rpg) and averages solid 2.4spg and 51.3% FGP.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young American forward Kenny Wooten Jr. (204-F-1998) of Ulaanbaatar TLG. Wooten Jr. impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 27 points and 22 rebounds. Bad luck as UB TLG was edged by the higher-ranked Selenge (#2, 10-5) 102-98. This loss caused UB TLG to slide to the very bottom (10) position in the standings. 12 lost games are too many comparing to just five victories UB TLG managed to get this year. Wooten Jr. is one of the most experienced players at UB TLG and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

The third best performed player last round was American Ahmad Gilbert (200-F-1996) of second-ranked Selenge Bodons Sukhbaatar. Gilbert got into 30-points club by scoring 34 points in the last round. He was a key player of Bodons, leading his team to a 102-98 win against the lower-ranked UB TLG (#10, 5-12). Selenge needs these victories very badly if they think about taking over top position in the standings. Their record at this point is 10 victories and 5 lost games. Gilbert has a great season in Mongolia. After 15 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 23.8ppg (3rd best).
