Ismael Nurmamade (184-SG-91) put on an amazing game in the last round for Fer.Beira and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 2.
The 30-year old shooting guard had the game-high 26 points adding two rebounds and three assists for Fer.Beira in his team's victory, helping them to outclass Warriors (#4, 0-2) with 96-point margin 132-36.

He is in league's top in points (4th best: 18.5ppg), assists (4th best: 4.0apg) and averages solid 56.3% FGP and 42.9% from behind 3-point line.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was another Fer.Beira's star - 32-year old British forward Jermel Kennedy (201-F-89). Kennedy impressed basketball fans with 16 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Of course together with Nurmamade he helped Fer.Beira with another comfortable win outscoring Warriors (0-2) 132-36. His team has extremely good start of the season. They won both games so far. However the season is at the beginning, so everything can happen. They still may lose their high position in the standings. Kennedy is a newcomer at Fer.Beira and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 16.0ppg (#6). His other stats are also decent: 5.0rpg and 4.5apg.

The third best performed player last round was American Ben Uzoh (191-PG-88) of second-ranked Tigers. Uzoh scored 14 points and passed seven assists. He was a key player of Tigers, leading his team to a 83-77 win against #3 ranked Matero M. in a game of the week. Tigers 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. Uzoh also has a very good start of the season with very strong stats. Uzoh has a great season in Basketball Africa League. After only 2 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 12.0ppg (9th best) and assists with 7.5apg (best passer).
