Majok number one in Basketball Africa League for round 1 (by Hoops Agents)

South Sudanese-Lebanese Center Ater Majok (210-C-1987) had an amazing evening in the last round for US Monastir, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 1.
The 34-year old player had a double-double of 19 points and 12 rebounds, while his team beat Fer.Beira (#6, 0-1), the league's bottom-ranked team 77-71. US Monastir is placed at 3rd position in Basketball Africa League. But it's just the very beginning of the season and US Monastir won just one (their first) game. It's too early to say anything as the standings can be changed completely after next round. Majok has many years of experience at US Monastir, through which he has constantly improved.

The second best player in last round's games was young American Cleveland Thomas (192-G-1993, agency: Slash Sports) of league's leader REG. Thomas had a very good evening with 26 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists. It was enough for REG to edge AS Sale (0-1) 91-87. His team has extremely good start of the season. They won their first game. However the season is at the beginning, so everything can happen. They still may lose their high position in the standings. Thomas is one of the most experienced players at REG and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

Third on the list of top players last round was American guard Terrell Stoglin (185-G-1991) of AS Sale (#4). Stoglin got into 30-points club by scoring 32 points in the last round. Despite Stoglin's great performance AS Sale lost 87-91 to #1 ranked REG. But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates especially in such crucial game. AS Sale can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have awful season losing so far all 1 games. Too bad for Stoglin he does not play for a better team. But maybe if he did, his season stats would not be that high. The season just started for Stoglin as he played only first game. But it already looks like he can be team's leader.

4. Chris Crawford (193-G-1992) of SLAC - 30 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists
