American Guard Adia Brisker (173-G-2001) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for top-ranked Flamurtari Vlore, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 3.
The 24-year old player had a double-double of 20 points and 11 rebounds, while her team beat Partizani (#4, 1-2) 70-61. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. It allowed Flamurtari to consolidate first place in the Albanian Superliga. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is still on an early stage, but Flamurtari already had a very good start winning all 3 without losing a single one. Brisker turned to be Flamurtari's top player in her first season with the team. Former Queens University star has very solid stats this year. Brisker is in league's top in points (3rd best: 16.0ppg), rebounds (8th best: 6.0rpg), assists (6th best: 3.7apg) and averages impressive 2.3spg,51.7% FGP and 44.4% from behind 3-point line. Worth to mention Brisker played also at Eurobasket Summer League, which helped her get the job in pro basketball.

The second best player in last round's games was young international guard Aida Palko (176-G-1984) of Partizani Tirana. Palko had a very good evening with 17 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. Bad luck as Partizani lost that game 61-70 to Flamurtari (3-0). The season is still at the very beginning and this lost game may not be such crucial, of course if they start win the games. Let's wait for the next round. Palko is well-known at Partizani and is a proven leader in her second season with the team.

Third on the list of top players last round was another Partizani's star - international guard Ornela Lalaj (173-PG-1994). Lalaj scored 16 points and grabbed 11 rebounds (!!!). Despite Lalaj's great performance the Partizani Tirana lost 61-70 to #1 ranked Flamurtari. But her team cannot count on just these two top stars as they also need help of the other teammates especially in such crucial game. The chances of Partizani not to end season at such low position in the league, however are less than slim as they have already lost 2 games, recording just one victory. With bigger assistance of her teammates, Lalaj could try to bring Partizani's a little bit higher in the standings. Lalaj has individually a great season in Albania. After only 3 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 11.3rpg (2nd best).
