Experienced Moses Mugisha (C/F-1984) put on an amazing game in the last round for Our Saviour Kampala and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 7.
The 39-year old had the game-high 26 points adding eight rebounds and two assists for Our Saviour in his team's victory, helping them to beat Jaguars (#6, 3-3) 70-65. Our Saviour is placed at 4th position in Ugandan NBL. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Our Saviour will need more victories to improve their 4-3 record. In the team's last game Mugisha had a remarkable 72.7% from 2-point range and got three three-pointers out of 6 attempts. It's his second year at Our Saviour and it's hard to imagine this team without him. Mugisha has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (3rd best: 15.7ppg) and averages solid 2.7spg.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was Were Mark of JT Jaguars BC. Mark impressed basketball fans with 22 points and 4 rebounds. Bad luck as Jaguars lost that game 65-70 to slightly higher-ranked Our Saviour (#4, 4-3). Jaguars managed to keep the same 6th spot in the standings. His team lost some distance to top teams. But a 3-3 record is not bad and everything may still change. Mark is one of the most experienced players at Jaguars and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

The third best performed player last round was another Our Saviour's star - Joseph Wacha (G-1991). Wacha scored 5 points and passed 6 assists. He was another key player of Our Saviour Kampala, helping his team with a 70-65 win against slightly lower-ranked Jaguars (#6, 3-3). Our Saviour needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 4 victories and 3 lost games. Wacha has a great season in Uganda. After only 6 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in assists with 3.3apg (9th best).

4. Ian Lubwama) of Jaguars - 12 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists
