Endurance Aiyamenkhue

Dutch Center Endurance Aiyamenkhue (210-C-2007) had a very impressive game in the last round for second-ranked Orange Academy Ulm, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 10.
The 17-year old player had a double-double of 20 points and 13 rebounds, while his team crushed, the league's bottom-ranked team ASVEL (#3, 0-2) with 19-point margin 96-77. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. OrangeAcademy maintains the 2nd position in Adidas Next Generation Tournament . They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. But it's just the very beginning of the season and OrangeAcad. won both games without losing any. It's too early to say anything as the standings can be changed completely after next round. Aiyamenkhue turned to be OrangeAcademy's top player in his first season with the team. Endurance Aiyamenkhue has solid league stats. He is in league's top in points (4th best: 21.0ppg), rebounds (3rd best: 10.0rpg) and averages impressive 2.5bpg and 94.7% FGP.

The second best player in last round's games was young Adam Atamna (190-G-2007) of CTC Lyon SO Basket Territoire. Atamna had a very good evening with 30 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Bad luck as Lyon lost that game 77-96 to league's leader ratiopharm (#2, 2-0). It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Lyon still maintains its place in the top 3 of the standings, even despite this loss. 2 lost games are too many considering they did not win any game. Atamna is a newcomer at Lyon, but is already one of team's top players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 29.5ppg (#1). His other stats are also decent: 4.5rpg and 4.0apg.

Third on the list of top players last round was Italian center Maodo Mane (218-C-2007) of league's second-best Foppiani FSL Ship. & Log. Fidenza. Mane scored 10 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. He was a key player of Fidenza, leading his team to a 85-64 easy win against #3 ranked ALBA Berlin. Fidenza has a very good start of the season. But there were just 2 games played, so it's too early to judge them at this stage. Mane also has a very good start of the season with very strong stats. The season just started for Mane as he played only first game. But it already looks like he can be team's leader.
