Kayden Carter gets MVP of the Week award for Swiss NLB (by Hoops Agents)

American Kayden Carter (202-F-2003) had an amazing evening in the last round for Swiss Central Basket Luzern and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents NLB Player of the Week award for round 6.
The 23-year old forward had a double-double of 35 points and 14 rebounds, while his team beat Bernex (#10, 3-2) 95-88. The game was not the highest importance and did not have significant influence on top of the standings. Swiss Central maintains the 12th position in Swiss NLB. Swiss Central 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 3-3 record. In the team's last game Carter had a remarkable 64.7% from 2-point range. He turned to be Swiss Central's top player in his first season with the team. Southwestern Oklahoma State University graduate has very impressive stats this year. Carter is in league's top in points (7th best: 19.2ppg), rebounds (8th best: 8.8rpg) and averages solid 62.9% FGP.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young Spanish forward Kalei Yelamos Carter (204-F-1996) of BC Winterthur. Yelamos Carter impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 31 points and 10 rebounds. Of course he led Winterthur to another comfortable win outscoring Riviera (#17, 0-5) 104-51. The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the title. But Winterthur managed to improve slightly their position in standings taking 15th place. 6 lost games are too many comparing to just one victory Winterthur managed to get this year. Yelamos Carter is a newcomer at Winterthur and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders. alumni Yelamos Carter played also at Eurobasket Summer League, which is considered top summer league for players who want to play basketball overseas.

The third best performed player last round was Senegalese Mansour Kasse (208-C-1992) of Villars Basket (#5). Kasse scored 23 points and grabbed 22 rebounds (!!!). Despite Kasse's great performance the Villars lost 69-75 to slightly lower-ranked Tigers U23 (#7, 4-3). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. The last thing Villars needs is to lose another game like this one. They lose more and more distance to the top teams. Their record is 4 victories and 2 lost games. Kasse has a great season in Switzerland. After only 6 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 21.5ppg (4th best) and rebounds with 16.2rpg (#1 in league).
