30-year old power forward Mihkel Kirves (200-PF-1996) put on an amazing game in the last round for Parnu Sadam and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 2.
He had a double-double of 28 points and 19 rebounds, while his team lost the game against Keila KK (1-2) 70-75. Parnu moved-up to the 11th position in LAT-EST BL. Parnu is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. But it was their 2nd lost game this season out of 3 games. In the team's last game Kirves had a remarkable 57.1% from 2-point range. He turned to be Parnu's top player in his first season with the team. Kirves has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (5th best: 19.3ppg) and averages solid 51.4% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Karl Jurtsenko (203-PF-2004) of KK Viimsi. He is a forward in his first season at Viimsi. In the last game Jurtsenko recorded an impressive 32 points and 6 rebounds. Bad luck as Viimsi was edged by Rigas BS (2-2) 82-81. 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. Jurtsenko is a newcomer at Viimsi and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 20.3ppg (#2). He also registered 5.3 boards per game.

Third place about best performers goes to guard Aminu Mohammed (196-G-2001) of league's leader Valmiera Glass/Vidzemes Augstskola. Mohammed showcased his all-around game by recording 23 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in the last round. He was a key player of Valmiera Glass, leading his team to a 106-82 easy win against Keila KK (#7, 1-2). Valmiera Glass started extremely well this year. They recorded 5 victories without losing a single game. Mohammed turns to be one of the very best players in the league while he is also a leader of the top team having his eyes on the championship title. Mohammed has a very solid season. In 5 games in LAT-EST BL he scored 15.4ppg.
