Antwaine Wiggins gets MVP of the Week award for Qatari D1 (by Hoops Agents)

Experienced American Antwaine Wiggins (203-F-1988, agency: BIG) put on an amazing game in the last round for league's second-best Al Ahli and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 27.
The 33-year old forward had a double-double of 36 points and twelve rebounds, while his team outclassed Al Arabi (#6, 5-6) with 27-point margin 90-63. Al Ahli is placed at 2nd position in Qatari D1. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Al Ahli will need more victories to improve their 8-3 record. In the team's last game Wiggins had a remarkable 65.0% from 2-point range. He has many years of experience at Al Ahli, through which he has constantly improved. College of Charleston graduate has very impressive stats this year. Wiggins is in league's top in points (2nd best: 28.3ppg) and averages solid 1.7bpg,2.8spg and 71.9% FGP.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young American forward Nick West (210-F-1994) of Al Arabi. West impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 12 points and 14 rebounds. Bad luck as Al Arabi lost that game 63-90 to the higher-ranked Al Ahli (#2, 8-3). Al Arabi managed to keep the same 6th spot in the standings. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 5-6 record. West is one of the most experienced players at Al Arabi and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

The third best performed player last round was Serbian Milko Bjelica (207-F-1984) of Al Shamal (#5). Bjelica scored 27 points and grabbed ten rebounds. He was a key player of Al Shamal, leading his team to a 71-61 win against the lower-ranked Qatar Club (#8, 3-9). Al Shamal needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 7 victories and 4 lost games. Bjelica has a great season in Qatar. After only 7 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 22.3ppg (5th best) and rebounds with 10.9rpg (9th best).
