Week 21 witnessed two of the best performances of the entire season with huge performance valuations for a couple of players both from the same club! We also see the return of the season leader in terms of appearances in our line-up with this former league MVP slipping seamlessly back into our offensively explosive three guard backcourt.
Stefan Gill (Prestige Homes MK Lions)
There is no stopping Prestige Homes MK Lions right now and Stefan Gill underlined that fact by racking up a huge valuation of 40 to secure his first place this season in the BBL Team Of The Week. The diminutive playmaker poured in 41 points against Essex Pirates to help his team complete an excellent weekend win double. He landed seven triples as well as grabbing 7 boards, 3 steals and 2 assists.
Trey Moore (Newcastle Eagles)
With backcourt partner Joe Chapman ruled out for the season, it’s hard to imagine Moore being capable of doing much more for his team although if anyone can – then perhaps Trey can! He stretches his lead in the race to finish the season with the most appearances in the BBL Team Of The Week by lining up for an incredible eighth time. This comes courtesy of yet another near triple double after he torched former side Cheshire Jets with 26 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists. In another hot weekend scoring-wise for the guard, he also added another 28 points at Glasgow Rocks to keep his team at the summit of the BBL Championship.
Ryan Zamroz (Jelson Homes DMU Leicester Riders)
There were no bigger winners over the weekend than Jelson Homes DMU Leicester Riders who put Guildford Heat to the sword in brutal fashion with a 95-64 win. Zamroz had the hot hand all night and led the way for Riders with 34 points. Normally known for his perimeter threat, Zamroz showed he can get the job done either side of the arc with only a couple of trademark three-pointers in a terrific 13 of 16 shooting performance.
Charles Smith (Newcastle Eagles)
There is no stopping the golden-oldies on Tyneside with Charles Smith still showing the kind of swashbuckling form that has been almost ever present during his glittering BBL career. He had the crowd at Sport Central on their feet yet again in the 100-81 rout of Cheshire Jets after claiming a near double-double of 36 points and 9 rebounds. His performance handed him a fifth appearance of the season in our line-up.
Travis Nelson (Prestige Homes MK Lions)
The center continues his rich vein of form for Lions as he not only secures back to back appearances in our starting five but also conjured up a wonderful performance valuation of 40 to match team-mate Stefan Gill. However Nelson did the damage in what was arguably even more impressive fashion by doing it during the nail-biting 101-100 success over UCP Marjon Plymouth Raiders. He claimed a monstrous double-double of 33 points and 13 rebounds.
