Experienced Ukrainian Oleksandr Kolchenko (195-G/F-1988, agency: BIG) had a great game in the last round for Korat CT T-REX and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 4.
The 36-year old swingman had a double-double of 57 points and 14 rebounds, while his team outclassed Black Fox (#8, 1-6) with 28-point margin 130-102. T-REX maintains the 6th position in Thailand TBL. T-REX is a typical solid league team placed somewhere in the middle or a little bit lower in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 3-4 record. In the team's last game Kolchenko had a remarkable 58.6% from 2-point range. He turned to be T-REX's top player in his first season with the team. Kolchenko has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (7th best: 26.0ppg).

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young Ukrainian swingman Sergii Pryimak (204-F/G-1996, agency: BIG) of league's best team Dunkin' Raptors. Pryimak impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 18 points and 15 rebounds. Of course he led Dunkin' Raptors to another comfortable win outscoring the lower-ranked Tigers (#4, 4-3) 83-45. It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Dunkin' Raptors consolidated its place in the very top position of the standings. He plays for the best team in the league and Dunkin' Raptors managed to win all 7 games keeping a perfect record. Pryimak is a newcomer at Dunkin' Raptors 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 Bulgarian Vladislav Ungurian (190-G-1995) of Phuket Waves (#7). Ungurian showcased his all-around game by recording 29 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists in the last round. He was a key player of Waves, leading his team to a 78-74 win against slightly lower-ranked Eagles (#9, 1-6). The chances of Waves ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 4 games, recording just three victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Ungurian could help Waves to bring them higher in the standings. Ungurian has a very solid season. In 7 games in Thailand he scored 20.0ppg. He also has 12.0rpg, 5.6apg and a FGP of 65.5%.
