Naturalized South Sudanese Guard Kuany Kuany (201-G-1994) had an amazing evening in the last round for second-ranked Keilor Thunder, receiving a Hoops Agents NBL One Player of the Week award for round 16.
The 29-year old player was the main contributor (31 points, seven rebounds and four assists) to his team's victory, helping them to beat Waverley F. (#11, 4-4) 107-101. Thunder is placed at 2nd position in Australian NBL One. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Keilor T. will need more victories to improve their 5-3 record. In the team's last game Kuany had a remarkable seven three-pointers out of 11 attempts. He turned to be Thunder's top player in his first season with the team. Kuany Kuany averages this season 14.3ppg.

The second best player in last round's games was young New Zealand Tyrell Harrison (214-C-1999) of Southern Districts Spartans. Harrison had a very good evening with a double-double of 27 points and 13 rebounds. Bad luck as Brisbane Spartans lost that game 73-80 to the higher-ranked USC Rip (#11, 1-1). The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the top position in North. SD Spartans dropped in the standings to 14th position. 3 lost games are too many comparing to just one victory Brisbane Spartans managed to get this year. Harrison is one of the most experienced players at SD Spartans and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

Third on the list of top players last round was guard Jamaal Robateau (196-G-1994) of Sunshine Coast Rip City (#11). Robateau scored 27 points and grabbed 9 rebounds. He was a key player of Rip City, leading his team to a 80-73 win against the lower-ranked SD Spartans (#14, 1-3). USC Rip needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams in North. Their record at this point is 1 victory and 1 lost game. Robateau has a very solid season. In 4 games in Australia he scored 21.0ppg.

The formula: 1.5*PTS + 3*(REB+AST+ST+BL-TO) - 2*BSAG - 4*PF + 3*PFRV + 4*(2FGPM+3FGPM) + 1.5*FTM - 3*(2FGPA-2FGPM) - 3*(3FGPA-3FGPM) - (FTA-FTM)
