American Delvon Johnson (206-F/C-89, agency: Priority Sports) had an amazing evening in the last round for Uppsala and that's him to receive a Eurobasket.com Player of the Week award for round 26. The 22-year old power forward had a double-double of 20 points and thirteen rebounds, while his team edged out Jamtland (#9, 11-16) 85-81. Uppsala is placed at 6th position in Swedish Basketligan. Uppsala 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 14-12 record. Johnson turned to be Uppsala's top player in his first season with the team. The University of Arkansas graduate has very impressive stats this year. Johnson is in league's top in rebounds (3rd best: 10.3rpg) and averages solid 1.8bpg and 53.9% FGP.
The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was 24-year old American forward Christopher McKnight (201-F-87) of Boras. McKnight impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 29 points and 10 rebounds. Bad luck as Boras lost that game 95-100 to slightly lower-ranked Solna (#5, 14-11). Boras managed to keep the same 3rd spot in the standings. His team's 15-11 record is not bad at all. McKnight is well-known by Boras fans and he already established his position as one of team's most reliable players.
The third best performed player last round was American Jonte Flowers (196-F/G-85, agency: Warren Sports International) of Solna (#5). Flowers got into 30-points club by scoring 32 points in the last round. He went also for five rebounds . He was a key player of Solna, leading his team to a 100-95 win against slightly higher-ranked Boras (#3, 15-11). Solna needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 14 victories and 11 lost games. Flowers has a very solid season. In 3 games in Sweden he scored 16.0ppg.

The 17-year old player had a double-double of 16 points and 21 rebounds, while his team edged out Brahe Basket (#4, 11-6) 74-71. Solna Branten is placed at 7th position in Swedish Basketettan. Solna Branten is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 5-9 record.

He is in league's top in rebounds (5th best: 10.9rpg) and averages impressive 53.4% FGP.
The second best player in last round's games was 33-year old Nicklas Bergstrom (205-C-78) of Blackeberg. Bergstrom had a very good evening with a double-double of 37 points and 11 rebounds. Bad luck as Blackeberg lost that game 82-91 to slightly higher-ranked Orongo (#5, 9-7). This loss caused Blackeberg to drop to 7th position in North. His team lost some distance to top teams. But 8-8 record is not bad and everything may still change. Bergstrom is one of the most experienced players at Blackeberg and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 22.3ppg (#3). He also registered 8.8 boards per game.
Third on the list of top players last round was forward Derlin Kumbi (191-F-89) of Akropol (#4). Kumbi scored 19 points and grabbed ten rebounds. Despite Kumbi's great performance Akropol lost 76-79 to the lower-ranked Uppsala KFUM (#9, 5-11). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. The last thing Akropol needs is to lose another game like this one. They lose more and more distance to the top teams in North. Their record is 11 victories and 5 lost games. Kumbi has a very solid season. In 16 games in Sweden he scored 9.4ppg. He also has 4.9rpg and FGP: 62.0%.
