Trey Moore takes a break from the BBL Team of the Week but the Eagles still have one player in the starting line-up and one coming off the bench.
Jeremy Bell (Cheshire Jets)
Bell continues to impress during his rookie BBL season with the playmaker rubber stamping a fourth appearance of the season in the Team of the Week line-up. He was instrumental in two vital weekend wins for second placed Jets who claimed two thrilling wins – at Riders and at home to Lions – where Bell produced his best effort. He claimed a mammoth 41 points to go with 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
Evaldas Zabas (Worthing Thunder)
The Lithuanian guard went back to his former club and reminded home fans of his talents by putting Worthing to the sword with the joint best performance of the week. Zabas has helped the Raiders find form since his move to the Pavilions and he finished with 31 points on his old home floor. He relished the challenge of going up against his friend Sherrad Prezzie-Blue and he certainly shone from outside with an absolutely flawless four triples from four attempts.
Joe Chapman (Newcastle Eagles)
Now recognised as one of the most deadly shooters in the BBL, Joe Chapman returns to the team courtesy of six three-pointers against Guildford Heat which helped the guard to a 28 point haul. Most impressively of all, Chapman also showed he is able to roll his sleeves up and do the dirty work on the glass. The guard completed a super double-double by claiming an impressive 12 rebounds as well as 5 assists.
Quemont Greer (Cheshire Jets)
Not only was Quemont Greer the joint best performer of the week along with Evaldas Zabas but he also produced two performances worthy of a place in our top five. He had a huge double-double of 18 points and 16 rebounds in the victory at Jelson Homes DMU Leicester Riders but that wasn’t even his best performance of the weekend! He produced a monumental 28 points and 17 rebounds against Prestige Homes MK Lions as well as two blocked shots.
Mike Martin (Guildford Heat)
BBL veteran Martin helped his team bounce back from last Friday’s road loss at Newcastle with a comfortable victory over Essex as he continued the theme of the week by also landing a double-double. He not only registered 17 points and 10 rebounds but also completed an all-action performance by dishing up an impressive 7 assists.This is the second appearance for Martin in three weeks.
