Other players will also receive a shout out as honourable mentions at the bottom of the piece.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Masten was a driving force for Derby this weekend as they claimed a pair of wins and top spot in their group.
Rock Canyon’s all-time leading scorer and rebounder led all players in the fourth quarter with 10 points in Saturday’s narrow 81-78 win over Newcastle, including perfect back-to-back trips to the line to close out the road trip dub.
He added another 16 points to round off the weekend in DTB's 93-76 victory over Bradford, a result that would seal top spot in Group 4 and further enhance the guard's claim for my POTW award.
Newman put on another passing masterclass this weekend, dishing out 20 assists as the guard was once again an important player as Hemel finished the group phase 3-0.
In Saturday’s win, Newman contributed an efficient seven points in the final moments to secure the 11-point W over London Elite.
In Saturday’s spectacle between two talented sides, Captain Gayle put on a performance worthy of POTW honours. The COB man put in a lights-out shooting show from beyond the arc in an ultra-efficient performance, going 4/5 from long-range and 8/13 overall as the Rockets downed Milton Keynes 97-86.
Gayle’s 13-point and two assists contributed to a high scoring 38-point second quarter performance to give the Rockets a dominant 27-point half time lead.

The former Myerscough guard put in a great two-way performance in the solid road-trip win over Reading, one that would ultimately seal BA a spot in the quarter-finals
Akano recorded four steals and was crucial in transition at both ends of the court. To top it off, the electric quick guard went on a 4-0 clutch run as Barking came away with a four-point win.
It was another strong performance from the MK captain who in both games this weekend flirted with a points and assist double-double.
Spencer was the most influential player on the floor on Sunday against Loughborough and makes this week’s team despite a 11-point loss on Saturday.

Every individual in the 10-man rotation contributed with scoring, alongside four of the starters making double-digits.
Honourable mention to Juan Manning on an all-round 15p/7r/4a/2s/1b which typified the nature of the team win, with every player making meaningful contributions at both ends.
