Lithuanian Guard Adas Juskevicius (194-G-1989, agency: Alti Sport) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for second-ranked BK Astana, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 13.
The 36-year old player was the main contributor (35 points, six rebounds and four assists) to his team's victory, helping them to crush, the league's bottom-ranked team Al Wahda (#6, 0-4) with 24-point margin 88-64. Astana is placed at 2nd position in West Asia Super League. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost that single game earlier this season. Astana will need more victories to improve their 3-1 record. In the team's last game Juskevicius had a remarkable ten three-pointers out of 13 attempts. He turned to be Astana's top player in his first season with the team. Adas Juskevicius averages just after three games 13.7ppg, 7.0rpg and 4.3apg.

The second best player in last round's games was young Australian Christian Maran (196-F-1998) of Al Wahda Damascus. Maran had a very good evening with 18 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. Bad luck as Al Wahda lost that game 64-88 to the higher-ranked Astana (#2, 3-1). Al Wahda managed to keep the same 6th spot in the standings. 4 lost games are too many considering they did not win any game. Maran is a newcomer at Al Wahda and despite he is not a team leader yet, every game he becomes more reliable player. Hopefully performances like the last one will happen more often.

Third on the list of top players last round was American forward Perrin Buford (198-F-1994, agency: Pensack Sports) of Sporting Al Riyadi Beirut (#3). Buford showcased his all-around game by recording 18 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists in the last round. He was a key player of Al Riyadi, leading his team to a 85-83 win against #1 ranked Gorgan in a game of the week. Al Riyadi needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 3 victories and 1 lost game. Buford has a very solid season. In 4 games in West Asia Super League he scored 19.3ppg.

4. Parrish Petty (185-PG-1988) of Gorgan - 20 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists
5. Robert Pan (202-C-1995) of Astana - 12 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists
