American Rhyjon Blackwell (183-PG-2000) put on an amazing game in the last round for league's second-best SLUNETA Usti nad Labem and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 7.
The 26-year old playmaker had the game-high 37 points adding four rebounds for Usti n/Labem in his team's victory, helping them to crush H.Kralove (#9, 2-5) with 16-point margin 111-95. Usti n/Labem is placed at 2nd position in Czech Republic NBL. They are still close to the very top. Usti n/Labem would have been even better if they kept winning the games like in the last round.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young international center Martin Svoboda (201-C-2001) of Srsni Photomate Pisek. Svoboda impressed basketball fans with 34 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. Of course Srsni Pisek cruised to a 88-77 relatively comfortable win over slightly lower-ranked Opava (#7, 3-4). Srsni Pisek's 6th position in the standings has not changed. His team lost some distance to top teams. But a 4-2 record is not bad and everything may still change. Svoboda is one of the most experienced players at Srsni Pisek and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 22.0ppg (#2). He also registered 8.7 boards per game.

The third best performed player last round was American Lamb Autrey (193-G/F-1989) of BK Olomoucko (#12). Autrey showcased his all-around game by recording 27 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists in the last round. Despite Autrey's great performance the Olomoucko lost 72-81 to slightly higher-ranked Plzen (#11, 1-6). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. Autrey has individually a great season in Czech Republic. After only 6 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 16.0ppg (9th best) and assists with 4.3apg (7th best). He also has 2.2spg and and 3PT: 47.6%.
