32-year old American forward Cameron Clark (201-F-1991, agency: Slash Sports) had a very impressive game in the last round for league's best team Al-Manama and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 10. He had a double-double of 33 points and 13 rebounds, while his team outclassed, the league's bottom-ranked team Al Shamal (#4, 0-5) with 47-point margin 130-83. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. It allowed Al-Manama to consolidate first place in the West Asia Super League. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is still on an early stage, but Al-Manama already had a very good start winning all 5 without losing a single one. In the team's last game Clark had a remarkable 78.9% from 2-point range. He turned to be Al-Manama's top player in his first season with the team. Cameron Clark averages just after two games 23.0ppg and 9.5rpg.
Second best performed player last round was Uchenna Iroegbu (183-PG-1996) of Al Shamal Doha. He is Nigerian guard in his first season at Al Shamal. In the last game Iroegbu recorded an impressive double-double of 37 points and 10 rebounds. Bad luck as Al Shamal lost that game 83-130 to league's leader Al-Manama (#1, 5-0). It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Al Shamal still maintains its place in the top 4 of the standings, even despite this loss. 5 lost games are too many considering they did not win any game. Iroegbu is a newcomer at Al Shamal and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 23.8ppg (#6). His other stats are also decent: 6.0rpg and 3.2apg. Former Stony Brook University star Iroegbu is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top international summer league in the market.
Third place about best performers goes to forward Clinton Chapman (208-F/C-1989, agency: Diamond Sports) of Kazma (#3). Chapman scored 21 points and grabbed 21 rebounds (!!!). He was a key player of Kazma, leading his team to a 91-83 win against #2 ranked Shabab Al Ahli. The chances of Kazma ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 3 games, recording just two victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Chapman could help Kazma to bring them higher in the standings. Chapman has a great season in West Asia Super League. After only 5 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 10.2rpg (6th best).

The Player of the week is selected based on efficiency calculation, but also including game result, importance of the game, if played recorded double-double/triple-double, etc. The efficiency formula is a combination of various formulas used by different basketball organizations/leagues.
