American Eric Frederick (203-F-88) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Montreal J. and that's him to receive a Eurobasket.com Player of the Week award for round 23. The 24-year old forward had a double-double of 47 points and twelve rebounds, while his team lost the game against London L. (#1, 22-2) 125-138. Montreal J. maintains the 8th position in NBL Canada. The season is in a full swing, so it's only a dream for the team to make it into top half of the standings. For contrary they may face relegation if the situation turns from bad to worse. Montreal J. have already lost 21 games and recorded just two victories. In the team's last game Frederick had a remarkable 66.7% from 2-point range and got eight three-pointers out of 16 attempts. He just recently signed at Montreal J., being already a very valuable addition to the team. Eric Frederick averages this season 27.6ppg and 10.0rpg.
The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was -year old American swingman Antonio Ballard (193-G/F) of second-ranked Summerside S.. Ballard impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 28 points and 12 rebounds. Bad luck as Summerside S. was edged by slightly lower-ranked Oshawa P. (#3, 15-11) 117-114. It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Summerside S. still maintains its place in the top 2 of the standings, even despite this loss. His team's 15-10 record is not bad at all. Ballard is a newcomer at Summerside S. and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders. Miami University, Ohio alumni Ballard played also at Eurobasket Summer League, which is considered top summer league for players who want to play basketball overseas.
The third best performed player last round was Nigerian Nick Okorie (185-PG-88) of Oshawa P. (#3). Okorie got into 30-points club by scoring 32 points in the last round. He went also for six rebounds and seven assists. He was a key player of Oshawa P., leading his team to a 117-114 win against #2 ranked Summerside S.. Oshawa P. needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 15 victories and 11 lost games. Okorie has a great season in NBL. After 25 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 20.5ppg (2nd best). He also has FGP: 54.5% and 3PT: 44.5%.
Other top performing players last week: 4. Tim Ellis (193-G-81) of London L. - 23 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists 5. Isaac Butts (208-C) of Moncton M. - 18 points and 14 rebounds 6. Jeremy Williams (200-SF-87) of London L. - 23 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists 7. Herman Favors (174-G-84) of Moncton M. - 22 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists 8.

DeAnthony Bowden (186-PG-80) of London L. - 17 points and 11 assists
The Player of the week is chosen based on efficiency calculation, but also including game result, importance of the game, if played recorded double-double/triple-double, etc. The efficiency formula is a combination of various formulas used by different basketball organizations/leagues. We got involved many basketball scouts and journalists to assure it's accuracy. The formula: 1.5*PTS + 3* (REB+AST+ST+BL-TO) - 2*BSAG - 4*PF + 3*PFRV + 4* (2FGPM+3FGPM) + 1.5*FTM - 3* (2FGPA-2FGPM) - 3* (3FGPA-3FGPM) - (FTA-FTM)

The Brampton Powerade Centre will be a busy place this fall and beyond. There were concerns raised over the use of the facility after the Ontario Hockey Leagues Brampton Battalion announced theyd be leaving for North Bay this summer. But the facility wont become the white elephant, that some thought it might be. The City of Brampton helped land the Brampton Beast a Central Hockey League team shortly after the Troops announced their departure. And it was made official on Wednesday that a new National Basketball League of Canada franchise known as the Brampton As will begin play this fall in the facility. Basketball is an international sport, said As GM/head coach David Magley as the team introduced its president Jesse Tipping and owner James Tipping. We chose Brampton because of if its diversity. And if Wednesdays event is any indication, the basketball team could be a resounding success. Theres a sense of excitement, admitted James Tipping, who also owns the Athletic Institute in Orangeville. How can there not be in an environment like this, but we know weve got a lot of work ahead of us. About 150 filled the RealStars Restaurant for the official announcement. I know there is a love and passion for basketball in this community, said NBL Canada president Andre Levingston. And there will be an instant rivalry with Mississauga. NBL Canada announced last week that the Oshawa Power would be re-locating to the Hershey Centre for the upcoming season. That will bring the number teams in the league to 10 five in the Atlantic division and five in the Central, where the As will reside. The Powerade Centre will be powered by two professional teams, said Mayor Susan Fennell, after receiving the first-ever Brampton As jersey. I dont get disappointed, I get busy. The As will begin play in early-November. Courtesy of: bramptonguardian.com
