Sergio Panka

Sergio Panka put on an amazing game in the last round for SCVU and receives a Interperformances Player of the Week award for round 2.
He had a double-double of 13 points and 10 rebounds, while his team crushed De Arend (1-1) with 23-point margin 91-68. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. SCVU is placed at 3rd position in Surinamese league. SCVU is a typical solid league team placed somewhere in the middle or a little bit lower in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 1-1 record. It's Panka's second year at SCVU and it's hard to imagine this team without him. Panka has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (7th best: 16.5ppg) and averages solid 56.0% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Chaief Wielingen (188-SG) of Yellow Birds. He is former international guard in his second season at Yellow Birds. In the last game Wielingen recorded impressive 29 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. Bad luck as Yellow Birds lost that game 81-104 to Ruckers (2-0). The season is still at the very beginning and this lost game may not be such crucial, of course if they start win the games. Let's wait for the next round. Wielingen is well-known at Yellow Birds and he already established his position as one of the team's leaders. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 29.0ppg (#1). He also registered 5.0 boards per game.

Third place about best performers goes to guard Gylan Watamaleo (178-PG-93) of league's leader Ruckers. Watamaleo scored 22 points and passed five assists. He was a key player of Ruckers, leading his team to a 104-81 easy win against Yellow Birds (#7, 0-2). Ruckers has a very good start of the season. But there were just 2 games played, so it's too early to judge them at this stage. Watamaleo also has a very good start of the season with very strong stats. Watamaleo has a great season in Surinam. After only 2 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 21.0ppg (2nd best) and assists with 4.5apg (best passer).
