American Forward Jaquan Lightfoot (203-F) had a great game in the last round for Kitchener-Waterloo Titans and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 4.
He had a double-double of 24 points and 15 rebounds, while his team edged out London L. (2-1) 112-111. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Titans is placed at 3rd position in BSL league. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost that single game earlier this season. KW Titans will need more victories to improve their 2-1 record. In the team's last game Lightfoot had a remarkable 77.8% from 2-point range. He turned to be Titans' top player in his first season with the team. Southeastern Community College graduate has very impressive stats this year. Lightfoot is in league's top in points (9th best: 18.7ppg) and averages solid 2.3bpg and 74.1% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Chris Jones (182-PG-1991, agency: Haylett Sports) of London Lightning. He is American guard in his first season at London L.. In the last game Jones recorded an impressive double-double of 22 points and 10 rebounds. Bad luck as London Lightning was edged by slightly higher-ranked KW Titans (2-1) 112-111. It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. London still maintains its place in the top 4 of the standings, even despite this loss. His team's 2-1 record is not bad at all. Jones is a newcomer at London and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 22.3ppg (#4). His other stats are also decent: 7.3rpg and 6.7apg.

Third place about best performers goes to guard Latin Davis (183-PG-1997) of Windsor Express (#7). Davis got into 30-points club by scoring 31 points in the last round. He went also for five rebounds and four assists. Despite Davis' great performance the Windsor Express lost 109-117 to the higher-ranked London L. (#4, 2-1). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. The season just started for Davis as he played only first game. But it already looks like he can be team's leader.

4. Jordan Burns (188-G-1997) of KW Titans - 26 points, 4 rebounds and 11 assists
5. Kyle Meyer (208-C-1993) of Glass City W. - 21 points and 5 rebounds
