The had a double-double of 10 points and 20 rebounds, while his team beat Kampala R. (#4, 11-7) 69-55. JKL Dolphins is placed at 9th position in Ugandan NBL. JKL Dolphins 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 7-10 record. Kesseng just recently signed at JKL Dolphins and it was his first game, where he immediately became new team's leader.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young guard Christopher Omanye (183-G-1994) of Rezlife Saints. Omanye impressed basketball fans with 24 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. Bad luck as Rezlife S. was edged by the higher-ranked City Oilers (#7, 8-7) 75-72. This loss caused Rezlife S. to drop to 10th position in the standings. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 7-10 record. Omanye is one of the most experienced players at Rezlife S. and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

The third best performed player last round was Carl Loum of second-ranked UCU Canons Kampala. Loum scored 11 points and grabbed 13 rebounds (!!!). He was a key player of UCU Canons, leading his team to a 77-68 win against the lower-ranked KIU Titans (#11, 2-15).
