Croatian Premijer Liga round 4 best performance: Filip Kruslin (by Hoops Agents)

International Swingman Filip Kruslin (198-G/F-1989) had a great game in the last round for KK Virtus Zagreb, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 4.
The 37-year old player was the main contributor (23 points, five rebounds and eight assists) to his team's victory, helping them to beat Alkar (#9, 1-3) 83-78. Virtus ZG maintains the 5th position in Croatian Premijer Liga. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost that single game earlier this season. Virtus ZG will need more victories to improve their 3-1 record. In the team's last game Kruslin had a remarkable 57.1% from 2-point range. He turned to be Virtus ZG's top player in his first season with the team. Filip Kruslin has solid league stats. He is in league's top in points (8th best: 15.5ppg) and averages impressive 58.3% FGP and 46.4% from behind 3-point line.

The second best player in last round's games was another Virtus ZG's star - young Kristijan Krajina (208-C-1990, agency: 011 Sports). Krajina had a very good evening with a double-double of 18 points and 14 rebounds. It was enough for KK Virtus Zagreb to edge the lower-ranked Alkar (#9, 1-3) 83-78. Virtus ZG's 5th position in the standings has not changed. His team lost some distance to top teams. But a 3-1 record is not bad and everything may still change. Krajina is a newcomer at Virtus ZG, but is already one of team's top players.

Third on the list of top players last round was American guard Taye Donald (188-G-2002, agency: Players Group) of KK Dinamo Zagreb (#3). Donald showcased his all-around game by recording 17 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists in the last round. He was a key player of Dinamo, leading his team to a 85-62 easy win against Dubrava (#11, 0-4). Dinamo needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 3 victories and 1 lost game. Donald has a great season in Croatia. After only 4 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in assists with 5.5apg (5th best).
