20-year old power forward Aleksandar Marelja (207-F/C-92) had a great game in the last round for Sloga and receives a Eurobasket.com Player of the Week award for round 24. He had a double-double of 30 points and 11 rebounds, while his team beat Jagodina (#14, 5-19) 98-87. The game rather meaningless between the teams, which do not have any influence on the top of the standings. Sloga maintains the 13th position in Serbian league. Sloga is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 8-16 record. It's Marelja's second year at Sloga and it's hard to imagine this team without him. Marelja has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in rebounds (8th best: 5.7rpg) and averages solid 62.6% FGP.
Second best performed player last round was Ivan Miceta (205-FC-81) of Tamis. He is a in his first season at Tamis. In the last game Miceta recorded impressive 29 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. It was enough for Tamis to edge the higher-ranked Vojvodina (#2, 18-6) by 1 point 84-83. Tamis' 10th position in the standings has not changed. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 11-13 record. Miceta is a newcomer at Tamis and quickly became one of team's most reliable players.
Third place about best performers goes to center Boban Marjanovic (222-C-88, agency: Beo Basket) of league's leader Mega Vizura. Marjanovic showcased his all-around game by recording 8 points, fifteen rebounds (!!!) and four assists in the last round. He was a key player of Mega Vizura, leading his team to a 81-74 win against the lower-ranked Radnicki Basket (#7, 12-12). Mega Vizura confirms their top position in the standings. Their record at this point is 19 victories and 5 lost games. Marjanovic has a great season in Serbia. After 23 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 17.4ppg (3rd best) and rebounds with 12.4rpg (#1 in league). He also has 1.5bpg and FGP: 75.0%.
