Titus Lual

Sudanese Titus Lual (C) put on an amazing game in the last round for league's leader City Oilers and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 17.
The center had a double-double of 13 points and fourteen rebounds, while his team beat Kampala R. (#10, 3-9) 58-45. It allowed City Oilers to consolidate first place in the Ugandan NBL. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is already in a full swing and City Oilers still have not lost a single game, getting all 13 victories. Lual just recently signed at City Oilers, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Lual has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (5th best: 14.9ppg), rebounds (4th best: 11.5rpg) and averages solid 1.6bpg and 56.6% FGP.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was Malual Dier of Our Saviour. Dier impressed basketball fans with 23 points and 7 rebounds. Bad luck as Our Saviour was edged by slightly higher-ranked UCU Canons (#4, 9-4) 67-66. Our Saviour managed to keep the same 5th spot in the standings. His team lost some distance to top teams. But 7-6 record is not bad and everything may still change. Dier is one of the most experienced players at Our Saviour and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

The third best performed player last round was Peter Sifuma (C-1996) of UCU Canons (#4). Sifuma showcased his all-around game by recording 15 points, twelve rebounds (!!!) and four assists in the last round. He was a key player of UCU Canons, leading his team to a 67-66 win against slightly lower-ranked Our Saviour (#5, 7-6). UCU Canons needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 9 victories and 4 lost games. Sifuma has a great season in Uganda. After 13 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 11.5rpg (3rd best).
