American Jaron Kirkley (191-G-1997) put on an amazing game in the last round for league's leader Bangkok Coyotes and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents TEBA Player of the Week award for round 2.
The 27-year old guard had the game-high 28 points adding three rebounds and five assists for Coyotes in his team's victory, helping them to beat Raptors (#8, 0-3), the league's bottom-ranked team 99-88. It allowed Coyotes to consolidate first place in the Thailand TEBA. The season is still on an early stage, but Coyotes already had a very good start winning all 3 without losing a single one. In the team's last game Kirkley had a remarkable 100.0% from 2-point range and got three three-pointers out of 7 attempts. He turned to be Coyotes' top player in his first season with the team. Whitman College graduate has very impressive stats this year. Kirkley is in league's top in points (4th best: 25.0ppg), assists (8th best: 5.3apg) and averages solid 3.0spg,58.8% FGP and 43.8% from behind 3-point line. Worth to mention Kirkley played also at Eurobasket Summer League, which helped him get the job in pro basketball.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was another Coyotes' star - young American guard Accheaus Fields (187-G-1997). Fields impressed basketball fans with 20 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. Of course Bangkok Coyotes cruised to a 99-88 relatively comfortable win over Raptors (0-3). A very good start of the season for his team, which won so far all 3 games without any defeat. Fields is a newcomer at Coyotes and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 22.0ppg (#7). He also registered 9.0 boards per game.

The third best performed player last round was Polish Alex Moon (187-G-1999) of Pattani Raptors (#8). Moon scored 26 points. Despite Moon's great performance the Raptors lost 88-99 to Coyotes (#1, 3-0). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. Moon has a very solid season. In 3 games in Thailand he scored 15.7ppg. Alex Moon has also Thailand passport and can play in the league with a status of domestic player.
