Second best performed player last round was Wil Carter (203-F-88) of top-ranked Den Bosch. He is American forward in his first season at Den Bosch. In the last game Carter recorded impressive 21 points and 8 rebounds. Of course he lead Den Bosch to another comfortable win outscoring the lower-ranked Rotterdam (#10, 2-24) 84-64.

Third place about best performers goes to forward Shane Walker (208-F-87) of M.Magixx (#8). Walker scored 17 points and grabbed thirteen rebounds (!!!). Despite Walker's great performance M.Magixx lost 82-98 to the higher-ranked Leeuwarden (#4, 15-12). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. The chances of M.Magixx ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 15 games, recording just twelve victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Walker could help M.Magixx to bring them higher in the standings. Walker has a very solid season. In 2 games in Holland he scored 15.0ppg.
