Peter Cheng (F) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Sommet BC and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 23.
The forward had a double-double of 31 points and 11 rebounds, while his team beat Kampala R. (#12, 2-11) 80-67. Sommet maintains the 5th position in Ugandan NBL. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Sommet will need more victories to improve their 8-5 record. In the team's last game Cheng had a remarkable 63.6% from 2-point range. He turned to be Sommet's top player in his first season with the team. Cheng has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (3rd best: 15.1ppg).

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was Mark Ngobi of Victoria Crocs. Ngobi impressed basketball fans with 25 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. It was enough for Victoria Crocs to edge the lower-ranked UMU (#11, 3-11) by 6 points 68-62. Victoria Crocs' 7th position in the standings has not changed. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 6-8 record. Ngobi is one of the most experienced players at Victoria Crocs and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 17.0ppg (#2). He also registered 5.2 boards per game.

The third best performed player last round was another Victoria Crocs' star - Chuol Nyuot. Nyuot scored 13 points and grabbed 14 rebounds (!!!). He was another key player of Victoria Crocs, helping his team with a 68-62 win against the lower-ranked UMU (#11, 3-11). The chances of Victoria Crocs ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 8 games, recording just six victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Nyuot could help Victoria Crocs to bring them higher in the standings. Nyuot has a great season in Uganda. After 14 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 12.6ppg (9th best) and rebounds with 10.5rpg (3rd best).
