Harat's double-double lands him Hoops Agents Player of the Week award

32-year old forward Mohamed Harat (198-F-1990) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Al Fateh and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 13.
He had a double-double of 32 points and 19 rebounds, while his team crushed Al Adalah (#10, 3-10) with 18-point margin 97-79. Al Fateh maintains the 4th position in Saudi Arabian league. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Al Fateh will need more victories to improve their 9-4 record. In the team's last game Harat had a remarkable 86.7% from 2-point range. He turned to be Al Fateh's top player in his first season with the team. Harat has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (2nd best: 29.0ppg), rebounds (3rd best: 15.0rpg) and averages solid 1.1bpg and 68.0% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Anthony McClain (211-C-1988) of Al Salam. He is American center in his first season at Al Salam. In the last game McClain recorded impressive double-double of 40 points and 16 rebounds. Of course he led Al Salam to another comfortable win outscoring the lower-ranked Al Ansar (#12, 1-12) 115-92. The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the title. Al Salam keeps 9th position. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 4-9 record. McClain is a newcomer at Al Salam and quickly became one of team's most reliable players.

Third place about best performers goes to forward Andrey Semenov (200-F-1990) of Al Adalah (#10). Semenov showcased his all-around game by recording 26 points, thirteen rebounds (!!!) and five assists in the last round. Despite Semenov's great performance Al Adalah lost 79-97 to the higher-ranked Al Fateh (#4, 9-4). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. Semenov has individually a great season in Saudi Arabia. After 12 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 25.1ppg (8th best) and rebounds with 12.8rpg (7th best).
