Sylla's double-double lands him Hoops Agents Player of the Week award

26-year old GUI-USAn forward Sekou Sylla (195-F-2000) put on an amazing game in the last round for KK TFT Skopje and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 2.
He had a double-double of 23 points and 15 rebounds, while his team edged out Madzari 2003 (#9, 0-1), the league's bottom-ranked team 102-98. TFT is placed at 8th position in North Macedonian league. TFT 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 1-1 record. In the team's last game Sylla had a remarkable 60.0% from 2-point range. He turned to be TFT's top player in his first season with the team. Towson University graduate has very impressive stats this year. Sylla is in league's top in points (2nd best: 27.0ppg), rebounds (2nd best: 12.0rpg) and averages solid 73.1% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Collin Parker (203-F-2003) of KK Madzari 2003. He is American forward in his first season at Madzari 2003. In the last game Parker recorded an impressive double-double of 31 points and 12 rebounds. Bad luck as Madzari 2003 was edged by TFT (1-1) 102-98. 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. Parker is a newcomer at Madzari 2003 and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 28.5ppg (#1). He also registered 10.5 boards per game.

Third place about best performers goes to swingman Adem Mekic (197-G/F-1995, agency: 011 Sports) of MKK Kumanovo (#5). Mekic showcased his all-around game by recording 15 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists in the last round. He was a key player of Kumanovo MK, leading his team to a 70-59 win against Sokoli 1933 (#10, 0-2). Kumanovo MK needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 1 victory and 1 lost game. Mekic has a great season in North Macedonia. After only 2 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 19.5ppg (8th best) and assists with 7.5apg (3rd best).
