SAF is placed at 7th position in Singapore NBL. SAF is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 3-6 record. In the team's last game Raj V had a remarkable 60.0% from 2-point range. He turned to be SAF's top player in his first season with the team. Raj V has impressive league stats.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was Isaac Low of Xin Hua. Low impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 23 points and 13 rebounds. It was enough for Xin Hua to edge slightly lower-ranked Siglap (#4, 6-3) by 6 points 76-70. It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Xin Hua consolidated its place in top 3 of the standings. His team's 7-2 record is not bad at all. Low is a newcomer at Xin Hua and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders.

The third best performed player last round was Shengyu Lim of SG Bball (#5). Lim showcased his all-around game by recording 21 points, five rebounds and four assists in the last round. He was a key player of SG Bball, leading his team to a 69-62 win against slightly lower-ranked Tong Whye (#6, 4-5). SG Bball needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 5 victories and 4 lost games. Lim has a great season in Singapore.
