Sakhniuk's double-double lands him Player of the Week award- August 4, 2023
He had a double-double of 23 points and 19 rebounds, while his team edged out Dolphins (#3, 7-5) 90-87. City Wings is placed at 5th position in Vietnamese league. City Wings is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 4-8 record. In the team's last game Sakhniuk had a remarkable 83.3% from 2-point range. He turned to be City Wings' top player in his first season with the team. Jefferson University graduate has very impressive stats this year. Sakhniuk is in league's top in rebounds (7th best: 16.4rpg), assists (6th best: 4.2apg) and averages solid 2.2spg and 62.1% FGP. Second best performed player last round was Joshua Keyes (201-F-1995, agency: PBAplayers Agency) of Catfish. He is American forward in his first season at Catfish. In the last game Keyes recorded impressive 27 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. Bad luck as Catfish lost that game 86-94 to slightly higher-ranked Warriors (#4, 7-5). This loss caused Catfish to drop to 6th position in the standings. 8 lost games are too many comparing to just three victories Catfish managed to get this year. Keyes is a newcomer at Catfish and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. Former Muskingum University star Keyes is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top international summer league in the market. Third place about best performers goes to center Dominique Tham (195-C-1996) of Dolphins (#3). Tham scored 23 points and grabbed ten rebounds. Despite Tham's great performance Dolphins lost 87-90 to slightly lower-ranked City Wings (#5, 4-8). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. The last thing Dolphins needs is to lose another game like this one. They lose more and more distance to the top teams. Their record is 7 victories and 5 lost games. Tham has a great season in Vietnam. After 11 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 11.1rpg (8th best). Other top performing players last week: 4.
