26-year old USA-DOMn forward AJ Bramah (201-F-1999) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for second-ranked Hanoi Buffaloes and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 3.
He had a double-double of 27 points and 14 rebounds, while his team beat Catfish (#5, 0-4), the league's bottom-ranked team 87-80. Buffaloes maintains the 2nd position in Vietnamese league. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is still on an early stage, but Buffaloes already had a very good start winning all 4 without losing a single one. Bramah just recently signed at Buffaloes, being already a very valuable addition to the team. The University of Nevada graduate has very impressive stats this year. Bramah is league's best scorer averaging so far 31.5ppg and leads league in rebounds with 13.5rpg. Bramah is in league's top in assists (5th best: 4.0apg) and averages solid 2.5spg and 52.7% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was AJ Sumbry (203-F, agency: BIG) of Can Tho Catfish. He is American forward in his first season at Catfish. In the last game Sumbry recorded an impressive double-double of 24 points and 14 rebounds. Bad luck as Catfish lost that game 80-116 to Buffaloes (4-0). The season is still at the very beginning and this lost game may not be such crucial, of course if they start win the games. Let's wait for the next round. Sumbry is one of the most experienced players at Catfish and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

Third place about best performers goes to guard Jamal Mayali (193-G) of league's leader Saigon Heat. Mayali showcased his all-around game by recording 21 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists in the last round. He was a key player of Heat, leading his team to a 129-78 easy win against Dragons (#6, 0-4). Heat confirms their top position in the standings. Mayali has a great season in Vietnam. After only 6 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 18.3ppg (7th best) and assists with 4.7apg (2nd best).
