Sudanese Titus Lual (201-C-1998) had a very impressive game in the last round for league's leader City Oilers Kampala and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 25.
The 26-year old center had a double-double of 12 points and 19 rebounds, while his team outclassed KIU Titans (#2, 16-5) with 28-point margin 71-43.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young forward Richard Ongom (F-1992) of Namuwongo Blazers. Ongom impressed basketball fans with 27 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. Bad luck as Blazers lost that game 67-75 to the lower-ranked Kampala R. (#8, 8-13). Blazers managed to keep the same 3rd spot in the standings. His team's 16-6 record is not bad at all. Ongom is one of the most experienced players at Blazers and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

The third best performed player last round was Martin Buluma (G) of JKL Dolphins Kampala (#10).

The chances of JKL Dolphins not to end season at such low position in the league, however are less than slim as they have already lost 14 games, recording just eight victories.
