Cohen Desouza

Guard Cohen Desouza (G) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Potters S., receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 3.
The player had a double-double of 20 points and 14 rebounds, while his team edged out Flyers (#4, 3-1) 67-66. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Potters S. is placed at 3rd position in Antiguan ABBA. They are still close to the very top. Potters S. would have been even better if they kept winning the games like in the last round. They have a solid 4-1 record. In the team's last game Desouza had a remarkable 66.7% from 2-point range. He has many years of experience at Potters S., through which he has constantly improved. Cohen Desouza has solid league stats. He is in league's top in points (9th best: 13.6ppg), rebounds (8th best: 11.0rpg) and averages impressive 1.6bpg and 2.4spg.

The second best player in last round's games was Kwame Payne of Ottos. Payne had a very good evening with 25 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. Of course Ottos cruised to a 81-71 relatively comfortable win over Spanish Heat (0-6). The season is still at the very beginning and this victory may help a lot. Let's wait for the next round. Payne is one of the most experienced players at Ottos and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

Third on the list of top players last round was American guard Joshua Minner (198-G-1990) of league's second-best Cutie Ovals. Minner got into 30-points club by scoring 31 points in the last round. He went also for fifteen rebounds . Despite Minner's great performance Cutie Ovals lost 62-69 to #1 ranked Stingerz. But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates especially in such crucial game. Cutie Ovals had another "accident". It may be a crucial game and cause dropping from the group of top ranked teams. The record is still good, but 1st lost game is hopefully really an accident. Minner's teammates are also very good. That's why having such high stats is even more impressive. Minner has a great season in Antigua. After only 5 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 26.6ppg (best scorer).
