Center Amisi Saidi (200-C) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for second-ranked KIU Titans and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 18.
He had a double-double of 32 points and 13 rebounds, while his team edged out Our Saviour (#6, 7-8) 78-77. KIU Titans is placed at 2nd position in Ugandan league. They are still close to the very top. KIU Titans would have been even better if they kept winning the games like in the last round. They have a solid 12-2 record. In the team's last game Saidi had a remarkable 61.1% from 2-point range. He has many years of experience at KIU Titans, through which he has constantly improved. Saidi has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (2nd best: 16.6ppg).

Second best performed player last round was Puati Kikomba of Power. He is a in his first season at Power. In the last game Kikomba recorded impressive double-double of 17 points and 17 rebounds. Of course Power cruised to a 73-66 relatively comfortable win over slightly lower-ranked Our Saviour (#6, 7-8). This victory allowed Power to move up to 5th position in the standings. His team lost some distance to top teams. But 7-7 record is not bad and everything may still change. Kikomba is one of the most experienced players at Power and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

Third place about best performers goes to center Peter Sifuma (C-1996) of UCU Canons (#4). Sifuma showcased his all-around game by recording 17 points, twenty two rebounds (!!!) and four assists in the last round. Despite Sifuma's great performance UCU Canons lost 82-89 to the lower-ranked Ndejje Angels (#10, 4-10). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. The last thing UCU Canons needs is to lose another game like this one. They lose more and more distance to the top teams. Their record is 9 victories and 6 lost games. Sifuma has a great season in Uganda. After 15 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 12.6rpg (2nd best).
