International Shooting guard Davion Cotterell (SG) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for top-ranked IRG Astros, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 3.
The player had a double-double of 28 points and 10 rebounds, while his team outclassed, the league's bottom-ranked team Creole Team (#5, 0-3) with 28-point margin 78-50. It allowed IRG Astros to consolidate first place in the Cayman Islands National League. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is still on an early stage, but IRG Astros already had a very good start winning all 4 without losing a single one. In the team's last game Cotterell had a remarkable 66.7% from 2-point range. He has many years of experience at IRG Astros, through which he has constantly improved. Davion Cotterell has solid league stats. He is in league's top in points (3rd best: 29.0ppg) and averages impressive 4.0spg and 83.3% FGP.
The second best player in last round's games was Jordan Webster of Sol Blazers. Webster had a very good evening with 35 points and 7 rebounds. Of course he led Sol Blazers to another comfortable win 79-65 over Silver Bullets (0-4) being unquestionably team leader. The season is still at the very beginning and this victory may help a lot. Let's wait for the next round. Webster is one of the most experienced players at Sol Blazers and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 35.0ppg (#1). He also registered 7.0 boards per game.
Third on the list of top players last round was another Sol Blazers' star - guard Jathan Barnes (160-G). Barnes showcased his all-around game by recording 21 points, seven rebounds and five assists in the last round. He was another key player of Sol Blazers, helping his team with a 79-65 easy win against Silver Bullets (#6, 0-4). The chances of Sol Blazers not to end season at such low position in the league, however are less than slim as they have already lost 2 games, recording just one victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Barnes could try to bring Sol Blazers' a little bit higher in the standings. The season just started for Barnes as he played only first game. But it already looks like he can be another team's leader.
