Kur Ajah had a very impressive game in the last round for Magic Stormers Kampala and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 10.
She had a double-double of 30 points and 14 rebounds, while her team outclassed, the league's bottom-ranked team Kampala Uni (#12, 0-9) with 73-point margin 117-44. Magic Stormers maintains the 7th position in Ugandan NBL. Magic Stormers is a typical solid league team placed somewhere in the middle or a little bit lower in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 5-6 record. Ajah turned to be Magic Stormers' top player in her first season with the team. Kur Ajah averages this season 13.6ppg and 5.9rpg.

Second best performed player last round was Christine Nakito (G). She is a guard in her second season at Magic Stormers. In the last game Nakito recorded an impressive double-double of 10 points and 18 rebounds. Of course together with Ajah she helped Magic Stormers Kampala with another comfortable win outscoring Kampala Uni (#12, 0-9) 117-44. Magic Stormers' 7th position in the standings has not changed. Her team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 5-6 record. Nakito is well-known at Magic Stormers and together with Kur Ajah she already established her position as one of the team's leaders.

Third place about best performers goes to another Magic Stormers' star - forward Daphine Adong (F). Adong scored 17 points and passed 5 assists. She was another key player of Magic Stormers Kampala, helping her team with a 79-52 easy win against the lower-ranked Nabisunsa (#11, 1-8). The chances of Magic Stormers ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 6 games, recording just five victories. With bigger assistance of her teammates, Adong could help Magic Stormers to bring them higher in the standings. Adong has a very solid season. In 11 games in Uganda she scored 13.2ppg. She also has 5.3rpg, 2.8spg and a FGP of 56.8%.
