Carl English

This week's number one is an international guard Carl English (192-81, college:Hawaii). He led Asefa Estudiantes to a victory over the 15th-ranked Cajasol (0-3) crushing them 76-46 in the Spanish ACB in Sunday night's game. English was MVP of the game. He scored 32 points (!!!) and grabbed 7 rebounds in 30 minutes on the court. Asefa Estudiantes Madrid (3-0) is placed first in the ACB. So far his team won all three games in the Regular Season.

Kendall scored 15 points, had 8 rebounds and dished 4 assists. Blusens Monbus Obradoiro CAB (3-0) is placed second in the ACB. So far his team won all three games in the Regular Season.

The Canadian player who performed third best last week abroad was an international forward Robbie Sihota (198-87). Sihota contributed to a double overtime  M.Magixx's victory against the closely-ranked Leeuwarden (1-1) 104-100 in the Dutch Eredivisie on Saturday night. He had a double-double by scoring 20 points and getting 11 rebounds in 36 minutes. Matrixx Magixx Wijchen (2-0) is placed fourth in the Eredivisie. But there are still lots of games to play and it's a long way to go. It's Sihota's first season with the team. Sihota is currently seventh on the list of top scorers and also on the list of best rebounders (fourth place). He has very impressive stats this year: 17.0ppg, 9.5rpg, 2FGP: 45.0%, 3FGP: 37.5% in the two games. Sihota is another player who holds two passports: Indian and Canadian.
