Slovenian power forward Erazem Lorbek (209-F/C-84) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Regal FC Barcelona, receiving a Eurobasket.com Player of the Week award for round 2.
The 26-year old player was the main contributor (19 points, five rebounds and four assists) to his team's victory, helping them to beat Cholet 84-77. Regal Barca stays perfect in Group C, while Cholet still looks for the first win. It's Lorbek's second year at Regal Barca and it's hard to imagine this team without him. In the next round, Barca will meet Fenerbahce Ulker. Cholet will also play at home, but against Lietuvos Rytas.
The second best player in last round's games was 23-year old American Jamont Gordon (193-G/F-87) of CSKA Moscow. Gordon had a very good evening with 20 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Bad luck as CSKA lost that game 60-74 to Panathinaikos (2-0). The season is still at the very beginning and this lost game may not be such crucial, of course if they start win the games. Let's wait for the next round. Gordon is a newcomer at CSKA, but is already on of their leading players.
Third on the list of top players last round was American guard Brian Roberts (188-G-85, agency: Arik Krayn Services) of Brose Baskets Bamberg. Roberts scored 23 points and grabbed five rebounds. He was a key player of Brose Baskets, leading his team to a 73-61 win against Olympiakos. Both teams have 1-1 record now in Group B. Roberts has a very solid season. In 2 games he averaged 18.5 points.
