American-Dominican Rep. Forward AJ Bramah (201-F-1999) had a great game in the last round for top-ranked Hanoi Buffaloes, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 4.
The 26-year old player had a double-double of 30 points and 17 rebounds, while his team beat City Wings (#3, 2-2) 85-73. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. It allowed Buffaloes to consolidate first place in the Vietnamese VBA. 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 6 without losing a single one. Bramah just recently signed at Buffaloes, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Former The University of Nevada star has very solid stats this year. Bramah is league's best scorer averaging so far 30.3ppg. Bramah is in league's top in rebounds (2nd best: 14.7rpg), assists (9th best: 3.5apg) and averages impressive 52.3% FGP.

The second best player in last round's games was young Ukrainian Dmytro Tykhonov (207-C/F-1992, agency: BIG) of Ho Chi Minh City Wings. Tykhonov had a very good evening with a double-double of 15 points and 21 rebounds. Bad luck as Wings lost that game 65-91 to league's leader Buffaloes (#1, 6-0). It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. City Wings still maintains its place in the top 3 of the standings, even despite this loss. His team's 2-2 record is not bad at all. Tykhonov is one of the most experienced players at City Wings and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

Third on the list of top players last round was American forward AJ Sumbry (203-F, agency: BIG) of Can Tho Catfish (#4). Sumbry scored 24 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. He was a key player of Catfish, leading his team to a 94-86 win against Dragons (#6, 0-6). The chances of Catfish not to end season at such low position in the league, however are less than slim as they have already lost 4 games, recording just two victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Sumbry could try to bring Catfish's a little bit higher in the standings. Sumbry has individually a great season in Vietnam. After only 6 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 10.8rpg (3rd best).
