Abel Joseph

33-year old guard Abel Joseph (200-G-1990) had a very impressive game in the last round for league's best team Discount Distributors Rockets and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 20.
He had a double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds, while his team outclassed Sunlight CS (#4, 6-9) with 31-point margin 84-53. It allowed Rockets to consolidate first place in the Bahamas league. Rockets has a very good season and are considered to have a run for the championship title. They improved their record to 14-1. In the team's last game Joseph had a remarkable 85.7% from 2-point range. It's his second year at Rockets and it's hard to imagine this team without him. Holland College graduate has very impressive stats this year. Joseph is in league's top in points (5th best: 10.8ppg), assists (5th best: 4.6apg) and averages solid 1.6bpg and 60.5% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Zachary Pennerman (G) of Leno Regulators. He is Canadian guard in his second season at Regulators. In the last game Pennerman recorded an impressive 22 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. Bad luck as Regulators lost that game 79-93 to slightly higher-ranked Sunlight CS (#4, 6-9). It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the top position in Derrick Bats Ferguson. Regulators still maintains its place in the top 4 of the standings, even despite this loss. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 5-9 record. Pennerman is well-known at Regulators and he already established his position as one of the team's leaders.

Third place about best performers goes to Lorenzo Rolle of Tucker Boys (#3). Rolle scored 18 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. He was a key player of Tucker Boys, leading his team to a 71-62 win against the lower-ranked Shockers (#6, 4-10). The chances of Tucker Boys ranking at the top of Michael Boshang Cooper, however are very questionable as they have already lost 9 games, recording just eight victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Rolle could help Tucker Boys to bring them higher in the standings. Rolle has a very solid season. In 15 games in Bahamas he scored 9.5ppg.
