Bismarck Okot had a very impressive game in the last round for Livingstone and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 20.
He had a double-double of 36 points and 13 rebounds, while his team beat Ndejje Angels (#12, 3-13) 68-63. Livingstone is placed at 8th position in Ugandan league. Livingstone is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 5-11 record. In the team's last game Okot had a remarkable three three-pointers out of 6 attempts. He just recently signed at Livingstone, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Okot has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (4th best: 13.5ppg).

Second best performed player last round was Moses Mugisha (C/F-1984) of Our Saviour Kampala. He is a in his second season at Our Saviour. In the last game Mugisha recorded an impressive double-double of 13 points and 17 rebounds. Of course he led Our Saviour to another comfortable win outscoring the lower-ranked Ndejje Angels (#12, 3-13) 83-57. Our Saviour's 7th position in the standings has not changed. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 7-8 record. Mugisha is well-known at Our Saviour and he already established his position as one of the team's leaders. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 12.9ppg (#7). He also registered 7.7 boards per game.

Third place about best performers goes to Puati Kikomba of Kampala Rockets (#10). Kikomba scored 15 points and grabbed 18 rebounds (!!!). Despite Kikomba's great performance the Kampala R. lost 67-77 to slightly higher-ranked Power (#9, 5-13). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. Kampala R. can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have rather bad season and 4-11 record places them close to the bottom of the standings. Kikomba has individually a great season in Uganda. After 15 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 13.5ppg (5th best) and rebounds with 14.3rpg (#1 in league). He also has 2.4spg and 2.1bpg.
