Aivaras Buzas

Irish Aivaras Buzas had a very impressive game in the last round for NABA Ireland Dublin U17 team and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 10.
He had a double-double of 25 points and 12 rebounds, while his team outclassed, the league's bottom-ranked team Stella Blue (#47, 0-4) with 67-point margin 99-32. The game rather meaningless between the teams, which do not have any influence on top of the standings. NABA Ireland maintains the 24th position in EYBL U17 . NABA Ireland 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 2-2 record. Buzas turned to be NABA Ireland's top player in his first season with the team. Buzas has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (4th best: 23.8ppg) and averages solid 3.5spg and 58.2% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Danylo Popov (192-G-2008) of Self Made Kyiv U17 team. He is a guard in his first season at Self Made. In the last game Popov recorded an impressive 25 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists. Of course he led Self Made to another comfortable win outscoring the lower-ranked Viitorul C-N. (#38, 1-3) 91-60. The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the title. But Self Made managed to improve slightly their position in standings taking 9th place. His team lost some distance to top teams. But a 3-1 record is not bad and everything may still change. Popov is a newcomer at Self Made and quickly became one of team's most reliable players.

Third place about best performers goes to Roderik Rosko of AKAPO Lucenec U17 team (#16). Rosko got into 30-points club by scoring 32 points in the last round. He went also for seven rebounds . Despite Rosko's great performance the Lucenec lost 51-67 to the higher-ranked Rising Stars (3-1). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. The last thing Lucenec needs is to lose another game like this one. They lose more and more distance to the top teams. Their record is 3 victories and 1 lost game. Rosko has a great season in EYBL U17. After only 4 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 26.3ppg (2nd best).
