Dane Miller gets MVP of the Week award for Basketball Africa League (by Hoops Agents)

Experienced American Dane Miller (203-PF-1990) had a very impressive game in the last round for SLAC and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 5.
The 32-year old power forward had a double-double of 20 points and twelve rebounds, while his team lost the game against the league's best team Cape Town T. (#2, 1-0) 68-75. SLAC moved-up to the 6th position in Basketball Africa League. They are still not able to win a single game in the league yet. The season is still in it's early stage, so the team may have a chance to improve their current position in the standings. They lost 1 games and had no victories. Miller turned to be SLAC's top player in his first season with the team. Dane Miller averages this season 16.8ppg and 9.8rpg. Worth to mention Miller played also at Eurobasket Summer League, which helped him get the job in pro basketball.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young South Sudanese Nuni Omot (206-SF-1994) of league's best team Al Ahly. Omot impressed basketball fans with 21 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. Of course he led Al Ahly to another comfortable win 92-74 over Fer.Beira (#5, 0-1) being unquestionably team leader. Of course Al Ahly still keep the league's top spot. 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. Omot is one of the most experienced players at Al Ahly and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

The third best performed player last round was American James Justice (178-SG-1989) of City Oilers (#4). Justice showcased his all-around game by recording 20 points, eight rebounds and five assists in the last round. Despite Justice's great performance City Oilers lost 71-89 to #3 ranked P.Luanda. But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates especially in such crucial game. The season just started for Justice as he played only first game. But it already looks like he can be team's leader.
